I don't really think posting it on ATOT is considered "keeping it on the down low" man.

But sorry to hear, I hope he gets better.
 
Good luck! Your bro' is pretty young too. Hopefully this false memories thing is something that'll go away with time.
 
I will definatly keep him and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
What hospital is he in? (just curious as i am assuming you live in MI from your AA comment.)
I know there are some really good mental health facilities in metro detroit.
 
Hopefully he took one to many hits of LSD and will come down eventually..
Sounds like he went on a bad trip, I don't think it is permanent.

I'm skeptical his problems are entirely drug related.

That said, best of luck to your family going through these hard times.
 
From the sound of it, I don't think the drugs had much to do with his illness. I'm sure they aren't helping, but this sounds like something organic to me. Anyway, I hope it's something simple, and that everything turns out well for you and your bro.

If I hadn't seen exactly the same thing a few hundred times while working at the hospital and county mental health facility, and also in more than a few people during high school and college, I probably wouldn't have said it. Not that there aren't other possibilities of course...but occam's razor applies.
 
My Fiancee's doing a psychiatric pediatric rotation right now... I'll ask her about it. I'll definitly keep him in my thoughts, and prayers.... I have two little brothers, and I can imagine how scary this must be.

I posted it here because

1. I felt like I needed to tell someone, and talk about it...

2. I'd like to request some prayer support...

I think there is only 1 member here who knows me personally anyway I'm not real worried about it getting back to him...


EDIT:

He's in U of M Mott's Children's Hospital.

It can be permanent, some people's brains are permanently altered after taking LSD or some other hallucinogen.
 
The pediatric psychiatric ward usually ain't that bad a place. Actually, I think it's the sort of thing that everybody should experience; it makes you learn to appreciate the freedoms you normally have---or at least that's the lesson I took away from the week I spent in one. 😛

Oh, and drugz R bad, 'k?
 
shrooms, fake memories, give him a few weeks he'll be fine hopefully. I wouldn't worry too much..he was probably tripping and thought he had that convo before with your dad. The fact that he had a fake memory of it just shows he felt guilty about doing it in the first place probably. Good kid, experimented, feels bad.

I still dont believe its the drugs. I wouldnt disagree, the drugs may have exposed a previously unknown problem, but to say "The drugs made him crazy" seems a hell of a stretch to me.
That said, I wont say for sure one way or the other. I'm neither a chemist or psychiatrist.
 
I too believe the drugs may have just aggrivated an already present condition. Of course the paranoid feeling he has will be normal if he truly believes he's told someone something and they say "No you haven't". When that happens you start debating on who to trust, yourself, or the other person, in this case your Dad. I imagine that's a hard spot to be in.

Good luck to your brother, and the rest of your family.
 
I always have these Deja Vus with video games. Like I'll have a dream about a game and then wake up and realize that no game like that exists and it was just weird. And then like 4 months down the line I'll be playing something new and I'll hit once scene where everything just clicks and immediatly flash back to my dream and be like holy sh!t deja vu.

Oh yea, hope your brother is alright.
 
I've had several experiences like that in the past and they were always induced by heavy drug use. Usually a combination of a liberal use of angel dust and lsd would set it off. It would never last much longer than a couple of hours though, but it is one freaky experience when you can predict what everyone will say and do and life seems like a persistent bout of deja vu. I have seen more than a few people completely lose it under the influence of these kinds of combos.

I have a hard time thinking it was just the pot affecting your brother, but then again, I've seen people that really couldn't handle any pot at all. It's best these kinds of people just stay away from drugs altogether. Your brother will probably pull it together in a few days but the experience will most likely affect him for a long time. Good luck to you and your family.
 
I don't have any words of wisdom besides good luck and hang in there. Hopefully this will all sort itself out and your brother can kick his drug habit (although I agree that doesn't sound too bad).
 
Good luck to your bro, yourself, and your family.

Like others are saying, hopefully it was just a result of the drugs.
