(I heard something about permanent brain damage and even potentially death)

Not for nothing but as someone who knows way too much about drugs and their withdrawal… this is just, not a thing, at all

You might feel like you wanna die withdrawing from most drugs but the only ones that have the potential to do so are the ones that act on GABA - the only ones most people will encounter in their life are alcohol and your xanax, valium type of drugs.

It’s the meth that fucked up his brain and I would bet my last dollar he immediately went and started using even harder after that trip to the VA, as most people do when told they have to quit. There’s no suboxone program for meth. You don’t taper down off of it. You just stop it and get cranky and super tired for a week, and then pretty depressed for like a year. That’s it.

So, I was actually told at the time that he’d been taking Xanax, however when I looked back on it, after later finding out he’d been on meth, I figured that my parents may have been lying to me about it (or possibly been lied to about it). I know there’s some drugs that are amphetamines and I had kinda thought Xanax was one of them but looking into it that’s not true at all (I know nothing about drugs). I know that probably sounds made up since it’s different from what I said but like I said I wasn’t too close or deeply involved in it so idk about some of the details.

Ty for the info.
