Can Drug Addiction With Paranoia Medicines Usage Have Any Severe Side Effects?

My ex husband is an alcoholic and addicted to oxidation cotton. Went to rehab did 30 days. A month later I went to his house and I know he was on something but passed a drug test. He is on medication for paranoia, will chaotic mix with these meds and create a high. He swears he was not on anything. We have 2 children and don t want to give them back if there is a risk.

Hi,

The medications your ex-husband is on are unlikely to make him appear to be on a high. If he appeared to be on a high and yet passed a drug test, then I guess he was on some substance which is not screened by the drug test he took. Drug tests are of different kinds and all do not test for all drugs.

Best wishes.
