[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 730440, member: 1550"] The Seroquel is why he is sleeping during the day. Tell him you need him to get up and help around the house and look for a better job during the day. It's nonsense to sleep all day. The Seroquel is for night. He knows this. Maybe he wants to be awake to be with friends at night. I don't know what he is doing or why he would chose to take a pill that tires you out so much during the day!! Pot is usually not good for any mental illness and can trigger new mental illnesses and paranoia. Did he always smoke pot and is maybe using it because of the high? Many doctors will just go along with it. I personally don't like it for things like anxiety. I have very bad anxiety. My medications help depression more than anxiety. I tried pot and it made me spacy and paranoid. Therapy helped a lot more. If he won't go, he probably won't learn to cope better with anxiety. Pot can cause extreme lack of motivation. You will have to let go of him one day. You will die one day. All of us will let go. It is your choice whether you want him to learn to take care of himself or not, but one day he will have to do it. He is not so badly mentally I'll that he can't work and do things for himself. Do you do things for him? Pay for him? If you treat him as if he is helpless, that is how he will act. How he IS acting. Do you have any plan to make him plan to leave? I told you my autistic son is on his own and he has a developmental delay plus some depression. My son is 24, been in his own place since age 20 with autism. He gets some services but not from me nor does he want to live at home. He pays his own bills. Your son can do it if mine can. We can't in my opinion hold them back because of our fears. Its not fair to us or to them. They need us to push them from the nest. Who will house and pay for him when you are gone? This question is why I pushed my autistic son from an early age to do the same chores my other kids did. It paid off! ' I wish you both luck. [/QUOTE]
