friend is an addict - again? 16/f


Question Posted Saturday October 17 2009, 11:22 am

so last year, my friend was in a car accident, and someone close to her died in it. she was in a lot of pain, physically, and was in hospital for a while. she had to be weaned off the painkillers, because she got so addicited to them, and it was really scary, but now she's back to normal. then fo the past two weeks shes been really distant. also she's been taking theese blue capsules. they are a light blue and i'm putting a link to an image of a similar looking pill, but it's a tiny bit darker:

it had the word 'ROCHE' on it and another word which i think started with an 'X'. i'm probably worrying over nothing, because she's really smart, but i'm worried she's taking too much, cause i see her take it every day, and i know she got it from a friend, not the doctors. can anyone figure out what it is, and is it addictive. im not going to the teachers, EVER. and her dad just isnt there at all. she's pretty much alone, but she's an amazing person, and i would hate for her to be in trouble.

Truth is you HAVE to tell someone because she is hurting herself.

One...its illegal to take drugs that are not prescribed by the doctor.
Two...she is harming herself by taking the drugs and she needs to talk to someone.
Three...be a good friend and tell someone before something abd happens!

Hope all goes well!

Your friend may just be insecure about herself. Is she average size or is she big? Xenical Roche is a weight loss drug. She may just be taking those but acting distant because she's scared of what you guys may think.

It's normal for you to be worried. I think that if she's taking these, she's got some serious confidence issues, and could even be developing an eating disorder because most people who do will go to extremes to lose weight. Talk to her about it & let her know that if she needs anything, you're always there for her.

a good friend would worry. talk to her abut it first. dont accuse her of it but kinda lean into it and tell her that your worried. tell her that it would kill you to lose her... i was doing some research and believe that the pill was made by roche and that it could possibly xenical.. for weight loss i believe, i dont know if your friend is heavy or not or if she thinks she needs to lose weight but you could check into it... hope i helped:)
