My oldest is using
 myself and wife thinks,she stealing prescription medicines from our house, we recently found a strange pill on are floor after she was at are house ,we looked it up and it was zanex. I believe that is a pill that coincides with heroine I was told. Her looser boy friend we looked in public records he has a warrant for for heroine he had over a year ago. We then turned him in.Not sure how to help an adult or were to look to get her help she has I am sure disowned us for what happened.

Glad you had gutts enough to turn him in no matter how your daughter thought or felt about it.
No matter how hard it is because she is your child, enabling her is the worst thing anyone can do. Hang in there with her, one day she will thank you for it.

Zanax is a prescription drug used to treat anxiety. I was on it years ago, and quickly got addicted to it. I really don't know how it compares to heroin, but I don't think it's in the same class. It could be but I'm not sure.
Heroin of course is an illegal drug. There is NO legal use for it. Zanax is legal ONLY by prescription ! If your daughter does not WANT to be helped there is nothing you can do for you. Why not go to some Al-Anon or Nar=Anon meetings? You'll get a better understanding of how NOT to enable your daughter and how better to cope with having an addicted daughter. It will help you alot. I'd recommend going . Best of luck and God bless! Hugs, Lee

this article may help you. kids use xanex to "come down" easier after a "high" high like cocaine. in my case it was prescribed for anxiety, the legal way. but it is highly addictive and i wish it wasn't available at all, jmo. there are safer drugs out there for anxiety, etc.
but in your case you are dealing will drug abuse. i fear your daughter is in a drug abuse spiral. and note xanex affects a mind's logic, etc. so if she's abusing it you may have futile results. i would address with her that you found it and your concerns. it may not help but at least she's on notice that you dusapprove and are seriously concerned. xanex is in the family of derivitive opiates called benzodiazpams. it can be a "gateway" drug. Xanax “bars,” “zanies” or “planks” the Deadly High http://www.recoverytoday.net/archive...he-deadly-high

I would talk to your daughter, get what information and facts you can about drugs and what is going on at your house (whether she has or has not been stealing your prescription meds). That you are unfamiliar with xanax or the state of your own medicines and have decided your daughter has "disowned" you for turning in her boyfriend for an outstanding warrant without talking with her, I would first get more informed before trying to help. That your daughter has a boyfriend you do not like, she may be unfamiliar with/not part of his drug use, in treatment and the xanax prescribed to her, who knows? Talk to her and/or do more research/study of what has/is going on around you.

My wife at her work received the message from a coworker my daughter is actively using with her boy friend, is a good source, one my daughters age an was a addict that got help and cleaned up.

you and your wife can attend nar-anon or al-anon meetings. there are many people in those groups suffering as you and don't know what to do. you will find support there as well as ways to deal with your daughter using drugs. both are free to attend. check out meetings in your area. http://www.al-anon.org/meetings/meeting.html
http://www.nar-anon.org/Nar-Anon/Meetings.html hope this helps.
