From the sound of your question, it appears that
you need professional medical advice.
Don’t trust a total stranger on Yahoo Answers to analyze your problem.
I’ll assume you are on YA because you don’t want to call your doctor.
But you could ask a nurse for an expert opinion.

Question by StarrFly: Is it normal to take sleeping pills and not wake up?
My mom was ( and possibly still is) addicted to prescription drugs. She would overdose on her multiple pills everyday but her body was used to it so she didn’t die when anyone else would have.
Anyways… So she still takes sleeping pills. Two of them. Ambien and Trazadone.

So here are my questions.

What are Ambien and Trazadone?
Are the two a bad mix? Or just bad in general?
Are they narcotic or addictive?
If I try to wake up a person on a sleep med(s) should they be able to wake up and function?

The judge gave it to her because she had completed rehab. But, because she wasn’t working, I was ordered to pay child support so that she could get her own place. The shelter attorney called it a rebuttable argument that allows for a child support order outside the normal guidelines. As a result, I have to pay, even though I pay for everything for my kids. I’ve tried to appeal, even getting a different attorney, only to lose, while she gets free legal help. I asked the judge what if I refuse to pay? She said I could go to jail and lose custody of my kids. My attorney says it’s common for fathers with custody to still have to pay child support whenever the mother makes less money. I guess it’s the price we have to pay as men for working good paying juobs that women will not even apply for. I’m a miner.

Now there’s no extras. No going to the movies, going to the fair, and certainly no extracurricular activities after school. I can’t afford them. We would occasionally drive over to DC on weekends to wander, or see the Cherry Blossoms, but we’ll never do that again. No money for gas.

You know what, you don’t need anything RELEVANT TO COUNSELLING. The fact that you are doing extracirilcular things, is good on its own. do sports, join acting shows, play an instrument. DO MOdel UN (relevant to sounseling). that is awesome for your CV.

I am also a writer, photographer, and have always wanted to travel the world.

I’ve looked up so many different types of careers and schooling, but I guess I’m just wondering if I could get an outside opinion on careers you might think would fit me, or that I may be interested in. It would be very helpful, thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by D R
That’s something that only you can answer. The best career path for long term stability and growth is health care. Who wouldn’t want to travel the world, but in reality , job wise, that is hard but not impossible to do. Its great to consider what you like to do but then you have to figure out whether or not you are any good at it. Take a stab at what you are most passionate about, start small and go from there. You will more then likely change jobs/professions multiple times in your lifetime, that is expected and normal. Take a chance.

Question by BEEFKAKE: My girlfriend is a danger to herself and others help me?
I recently found out my girlfriend is addicted to crystal meth. How do I go about getting a court to declare her a danger to herself and others so she can enter a state funded rehab center. We live in los angeles

Best answer:

Answer by Eric
You’ll have to have law enforcement step in. She’ll be arrested and put on Prop 36 by the courts, where she’ll be mandated to attend classes and rehab.

Otherwise she can’t be put in a program against her will.

What you wrote “is a danger to herself and others” is the criteria for meeting a 5150 (72 hour psych hold). Drugs cannot be weighed there. If drugs are involved, it would be an arrest with a 5150 hold at the jail if shes suicidal.

Either way, it ends up being a criminal matter for the courts to help out with.
