. OK first so glad you are concerned. Tell her all you know about the drug, why it is bad. that you are concerned. Ask her if she took them. If this is the first , second or twentieth time she has taken them. then you decide your execution. Call for help there are many people to assist you. the police should have a list.
that you need to know who gave it to her. you must report this. you need to help other kids who may be giving it to her. the school needs to contact the police to find out the supplier. this could be a huge deal not just for your girl but for others. YOU CAN DO THIS> You need to take control of the situation now before it gets out of hand she will love you for it later. from 7th grader mom. and DEA daughter.

Jumping from finding 2 pills to drug rehab is a big jump; I suspect you must have more reason to be considering drug rehab...and you are the parent and you know your child...do what you have to do....I feel for you....my girls just turned 18 and 21 this past Nov/Dec...8th grade through 12th are the hardest years by far....I've searched rooms, took one to counseling (because of finding pot); made sure I knew all their friends, their whereabouts, their friends parents and on and on.....my saying...
When they are young you protect them from the world; as they get older, you protect them from themselves.
Do what it takes and don't stop even when she tells you she hates you...it's your job to keep her straight......You can do it!

i was in the same situation. exept i was in your daughters place.
my friend gave me some at school.
i didnt take it though.
you wouldnt belive how easy it is for us to get it. i always got mine at school. from friends.
soooo many diffrent things.
but i never took it. why? because i had no clue what it was.
exept the oxy.
well last wednesday i actually got cought. but i help out the school and told them who gave it to me. and my intetion of throwing it away when i got home.
well i only got suspended for five days and the pill this girl gave me turnd out to be ridline.. a adhd pill.
if i was in high school.. or next year. i would have gotten a mistimener and all that stuff.
make sure you ask your daughter questions like why she had it. and who gave it to her.. all that stuff.
make sure that before you just throw her into a rehab center, that she actually had a problum with the stuff. not just cause it was in her room.
talk to her. or at least try. i know that always helps with me. and try and see things from her point of veiw.
sorry for bad spelling.=p

You need to find out where she got them in the first place, I would find out if she was using or did she just have them. You might contact a drug rehab place for some advise. Don't just let it slide it will get worse.

She may be telling the truth but is this a risk you're willing to take??? You know your daughter better than anyone and if you think she may have tried it or has a problem I would get some help.

Buy a home drug test or take her to the doctor and have her tested to see if she is using them. A pain pill will stay in your system for 72 hours.

Mylan is definately xanax!! that's sort of a downer pill for individuals with tension and panic issues! and watson 2302 im uncertain precisely what that's, yet i be attentive to it has to handle tension pills to boot! 2 categories of pills chanced on, in many cases ability habit, it would desire to be early on simply by fact your teenager might desire to not have a pill of decision yet simply by fact it sort of feels he will take in spite of he can get his palms on. you will possibly desire to accomplish that as quickly as a probability yet you will possibly desire to attitude your infant in a fashion they wont sense threatend like your attempting to attack them. They be attentive to its incorrect, and that they are hurting themselves, so which you will possibly desire to get your infant some help. My mom grew to become into hooked on pills and he or she died at age 34! i'm sorry you will possibly desire to flow by this, only be satisfied which you're looking out now quite of while that's only too previous due!

ask her more question, find out the friend, call the frineds mom.....It might be innoscent on your daughters side (her friend might ahve given them to her--for many diferent reasons) but her friend should ahve for any reason.......so get to the bottom of this........ dont call a rehab, as you see no other signs of drug use, and you said she had two, not a dozen....... do worry, do get to the bottom of it, but not freak out (-:

Take them from her and offer to give them to her when she needs them.
America sucks, parents do that kind of thing because they love their kids. Yeah, it may be annoying but, where do you think you'd be if your parents didn't care?
