lsd is the same thing as acid.



I believe the best thing would be to slowly come off the pills dont rush it you dont want him to go back to them. very clearly state that you will not be with him if he starts using coke. you are very special to him and i think he will know. if he finds it hard to stop the pills coke will be a lot harder to stop. Be clam about weed because right now he probably will feel that he needs a high so maybe he could come off the harder drugs while smoking weed then once hes off the pills to slowly stop weed. its much easier to stop weed than coke i believe this route to be the best from personal expericence. even when im high i care about the people around me and I will do whatever i can so i dont hurt them but drugs are something that effect a lot of people. I still smoke weed and im slowly stopping and its working for me.

Getting off Effexor is a nightmare.  Really hard ....REALLY HARD...I did it.

Cigarettes are nothing to quit in comparison.  

Stop Effexor at too fast a rate, get ready to enjoy shaking and hoping to die.
