my wife has been taking lortab for years along with xanex. we are recently married and she drinks heavily. it almost seems like she is bi-polar sometimes, loss of memory, violent, heavy mood swings from I love you to I hate you. it is getting to the point I cant take it anymore. is all this from the mixing of the drugs and alcohol?

Thank you for contacting us. I understand that your wife is mixing lortab, xanax and alcohol. This is a serious problem. I recently lost my 32 year old sister due to the exact same thing and have done a lot of research into it. It is definitely due to the mixture of the drugs and alcohol. Please get her into a rehab facility to end the cycle. Most insurances cover a lot of the expense. Do some research online as there are plenty of really good facilities to take care of a problem like this. She is most likely going to say she does not have a problem. She will most likely act like she is just fine and does not need treatment. Do what you have to do to get her into a rehab facility so that you do not lose her.
