I doubt it was Lexatin. Maybe one of the other opiates like Prozerk or maybe Zolarn.

I don’t know anything about all that, having a son of my own, I can only imagine the pain of losing him. That is all.

I almost lost a brother under the same circumstances. It’s no joke, and I wish we’d do more to combat it.


My sister lost her best friend to OD. I know far too many people who have died from an overdose. It's terrible. I have a friend who's addicted right now, but he won't admit it, and he's about to lose his family over it. I've have been given some powerful pain killers because of my medical history, but I have taken very few, because I knew that I could get hooked if I wasn't careful. Addiction is no joke.

Benzos aren't opioids. Are you serious here?

I assume the blanket term opioids to cover the stigmatized mental health drugs of prescription nature.

i'm shocked, and i mean SHOCKED a lesbian's kid would mental health issues and/or develop a drug addiction. just one of those things you can't see coming.


Wow. Trying to blame a kids addiction on his mothers being lesbian. Your claim would be infallible if no one from a household with male/female parents ever suffered from addiction....except...

You're an idiot.

I’m not sure that has any bearing on his statement if you’re just using plain logic.

He's claiming that having two women raising a child lead to mental illness and addiction. That is one aspect of that kids life of thousands, but he's going to imply that that was THE cause because it fits an agenda he wants to push. It's bullshite, and yes, he's an idiot.

It's akin to an anti-vaxxer pointing to a child who received vaccines and developed autism...and believing vaccines cause autism. Despite 10s of millions of other examples pointing to the contrary.

Hate this for her.


Can someone please tell me who the hell would give this post 3downvotes and 1 upvote. I just don't see what it could be that would cause this post to be downvoted.

Then the sorry for ur loss reply gets all downvotes.

Do pieces of shite grow on trees around here or what?

Just goes to show what a terrible addiction this is. If you have a problem, get help. Prayers to her and her family.


One of our extended family members had a daughter OD and die just last week and she was pregnant for her 2nd child at the time.

Been a junkie for years and her first was born with addiction issues and remained in the hospital until she detoxed.

I've never felt sorry for the girl but my heart went out for her first born and her family who she had put through hell over the past 20 years of addiction. I have absolutely no sympathy for drug addicts.

This site is full of immature trolls who will downvote just because they have that option. Probably by folks who wouldn't have the nerve to say anything negative to anyone's face, but the anonymity of the internet makes them brazen.

Well it's probably because you don't understand that it's a disease and nobody asks for that shite. Do some research

I'm sick of people claiming it's a disease. It's a lifestyle choice stupid people make.

I can be in a room of 500 junkies and I won't catch this "disease".

The only way to become addicted is to do drugs in the first place and not have any control over it.
