Hello. My questions are about my concerns about a friend of mine. (A former boyfriend.) He was sent home from a Detox facility today. He has never taken anything stronger than an acetaminophen or an Advil. He was also in a mental health facility last week. He s a chronic alcholic. He was depressed one night, and suicidal. His family had him baker acted and sent to the mental heath facility. We had been discussing in having him treated for his alcoholism. I was very happy when he decided to this. I had been trying to have him do this for quite some time. He told me that th detox center did not give him medication right away. The began giving him 10-20 miligrams of medication around 11pm. He was admitted at 7pm that evening. They would wake him constantly to administer different medications, and one medication they had him drink. He told me that they gave him Xanax, Depakote, and Vicodin, those are what he can remember. I spoke to him today, he said that he has to hold onto the wall to walk steady right now. He said he feels like a zombie, and he s nauseus. I am very worried. I have researched these medications, just now. I have read on Drugs.com. That these medications ae not to be taken if someone has an alcoholic addiction. Should the Detox Center gave this man psychotic medicines? He was depressed. He has never had a seizure. He was just drunk and needed to be counselled, and maybe something to detox him. I am no doctor. But I have taken one of the medicines that they gave him. They gave him Vicodin, Xanax, and Depakote, ones that he recollected and told me today. And I know how the Depakote affected me with my Bipolar disorder. I am very worried, there is something wrong with Brian s liver. He has been drinking 12 beers a night for 12 years, since I have known him.
