I’m in recovery/AA
I lost everything in 2018 and progressively through 2021 and have only recently gained it back.
She needs serious treatment and help. Kicking her out will only exacerbate things IMO. A voice of reason can def fall on deaf ears. She is likely suffering from severe clinical depression and substance use disorder/alcoholism.
You could take her to an AA meeting, NA meeting, do an intervention, see if she’s willing to go to treatment.
It’s a tough situation for you to be in. I will send a prayer your way.

Let’s do an experiment. Crush some up, snort it, and tell me nope nothing. I didn’t say it was great or even good and is pretty garbage but it is what it is

There’s research indicating that bupropion, when abused, can cause similar effects to cocaine and methamphetamines. This is from American College of Medical Toxicology, 2023. I will also say although I’m not a pharmacist, I’ve been an ICU RN, and now psych RN in my latter years. I’m not naive on how these meds work.

Needs to find a hobby and just cut all the other shite out.
Easier said than done. But won’t help her imo to be drinking and taking other drugs to cure what tends to be boredom more than mental health problems.
You have a 19 year old you probably love dearly but has never had to actually do anything. A lot of young people aren’t challenged anymore.
For young boys I feel like sports were important. It’s something to fill time and work at when you are too young to work on a career.

Snorting Wellbutrin ain’t gonna do nothing but clog her nose up.
You better try to keep her home and close, maybe she needs to put college off until she gets her shite together.
Fighting with her will only make her resentful, it’s a family struggle for sure

My guy. I am sorry you are going through this. I have dealt with alcohol issues with a close family member. I had to make them choose it or me. Not both. I was ready to cut ties if they picked booze. You will never compete with it.

Thank you, this is painful. To not be able to help your child is one of the most painful things a person can endure

Seek out Al-Anon as soon as possible to help you endure this. You are not alone.
And I agree with the “old school tough love methods not working”

i don't need to... i know exactly how the drug acts and works in the body, and i know how the body physiologically responds to that chemical, and what the precise predicted response by the body is...
this is not a matter of opinion... it is a certifiable, 100% fact that buproprion has zero abuse potential in humans... ZERO

Why is it regulated by the BOP? I used to work with a psychologist here at the VA. She used to work for the BOP and it was closely monitored, if not prescribed?
Placebo?
Placebo?

Youve come to the wrong place
The OT will say the meds are making it worse and she just needs good diet and bjj workouts
ETA i dont think snorting welbutrin will do much of anything. Certainly wont get any kind of pleasant experience out of it so that just sounds like acting out

Have y’all tried counseling? Weekly counseling might find the “root” of her issues.
Her medications will never “be right” if she continues to abuse alcohol and drugs.

You’re letting your degree come in the way of someone telling you what it did and falling into the "I’m an expert" trap. Again it’s garbage but you keep saying there’s no mind change

Exactly. Even if there’s little evidence to support the idea that bupropion can cause a “euphoria”high, there’s plenty to support that it can cause seizures.

You and your wife need to set rules that she has to follow if she is to remain in your home---------------and stick to them no matter what. That includes getting treatment, making sure she takes her prescribed meds----in the manner which they are prescribed. No alcohol since I will assume the drugs she's already been prescribed stipulate she is not to drink alcohol when taking them.
Sometimes you just have to toss them to the curb before they decide to do what is expected of them.
My wife's daughter from a previous marriage went off the rails at 21 and was diagnosed as schizo-effective and it took the better part of a year to get her meds straightened out. She would hide liquor in her room and drink and once I caught on to her plan I told her she either stopped drinking or get the hell out so she could do whatever she wanted.
She caused a lot of turmoil in the household for a few months but things eventually turned around and she is now a productive member of society with a decent job and just earned her PHD in education from Tulane this past spring.
