Someone I've considered a friend for almost 6 years has done something that makes me question the relationship.

Saying she cares about me and not wanting me to spiral into depression, she sent me what she insists is generic Celexa. We're both on it, but I haven't been able to afford it right now. She just sent a handful of pills in a Winn-Dixie bag. Looks nothing like Celexa, isn't marked with the dosage, is much larger than Celexa and is round. You don't have to be paranoid or a full-blown pharmacist to figure out I've been tricked.

After finding out that what she sent me is most likely 100% NOT citalopram, I'm wondering if I should tell her that I know and ask what she really did send me? From what I gather, she's a great believer in placebo effect - so if she says she's sending me Celexa and I take it, not knowing it's not Celexa, I won't get depressed because my mind is tricked into thinking I did take it.

BTW, I DIDN'T take any of it.

So, do I let sleeping dogs lie or do I say something? Every time she asks about it in an e-mail with other things, I just avoid that question. I'm going through a custody revision right now. There's no way I'm going to put something in writing about "Oh yeah, I got the drugs you mailed me." The lawyer also said we might have to undergo drug and alcohol testing since my ex was charged with a DWI, so I'm not putting something in my body that I don't know what it is and then be told I tested positive for something. I've even been avoiding my beloved poppy seed bagels.

Confront or not, and why or why not? I'd hate to lose a friendship, but I don't like the fact that I've been deceived, no matter how good her intentions are.

P.S. She was a friend to both me and my ex before our divorce. She says she "picked" me over him afterwards because she went through an emotionally abusive relationship too. If she's deceiving me about medication, how can I be sure she's not forwarding things to him that I tell her about this court case, things my lawyer has told me to do to stay in control. OK, now I AM sounding paranoid.
