Hi Katz, There is really no difinitive way to answer this question. If yu would like to do some more research I would suggest PDR.com. You must join t he site, but it is an online physicians desk reference which gives descriptions of these sorts of thigs; namebrand and generic.....It will take alot of digging however, and much more research on your part than if yu were to simply ask her. If you are afraid that she will not tell you the truth...be a sleuth about it....in what drawer did you find them? were they hidden, or in plain sight? has she used drugs recreaationally in the past? does she smoke marijuana? Is she having trouble in school?
Psych eval: How are her moods? Have they been stable? How does her reporetd mood correltae to her affect? are they congruent? Is she generally responsive? How is her thought content? does she seem disorganized? Has she been unable to keep focus....you can tell these things by having a conversation with her. Observe closely, if you do not trust her to tell you the honest truth. I would not go off of the deep end until you find out what indeed they are and then you can do some research and provide some true education and guidance.
Now for what may be seemingly obvious...
lets start with trends in rec. drugs with teenagers these days...
First...methamphetamine has become increasingly popular...but is generally not a pill.
Adderral and ritalin abuse has become increasingly popular...it is a pill, but will usually come with a mg incription on one side i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20, 30.
It is clearly not powdered heroin or cocaine...or any cocaine derivitive
It is unlikely that it is methadone...which is usually liquid, but can be a pill
Another trend has become the abuse of benzodiazapines e.g. xanax (alprazolam), ristoril, or any in this class.
Lastly, I would not think that it would be any other kind of opiate, i.e. vicodan, percocet, oxycodone. as they are generally larger pills as they are usually mixed with acetametaphine.
It would be likely, given vague markings and no mg incripture that it may be extacy, whcih is another growing trend.....
However, I would not jump to any conclusions until you have had a normal converstaion with her and taken notice of any ostensible behavioral, or affective changes....
Then, you sould ask her, this will prove wonders, as it will show that you trust her, regardless, and she may feel more comfortable talking with you, even if she i lying about what these actually are, in the future about any ongoig problems..../
But I would say that maintianing an active role in her life is most important.

I have no idea what kind of pills they are. My suggestion is go to your local library or book store and get a book on different types of pills to see what kind they are in the mean time do not give them back to your daughter.
Or the person to answer your question may be an RN or a doctor and he or she will better answer your question

I have no idea, but there are a couple options. First, you could ask her...second, you could take them to a pharmacist. If you don't want to tell them the truth, make up something. Also I believe there is a drug manual with pictures...but that would be tedious.

take it to a pharmacist and ask them. If you don't want to do that you could go to a library and look at the pictures in the Physician's desk reference (PDR), but they don't have pictures of every drug, just the more popular ones.
Could be almost anything. I know zoloft is long shaped (have not really seen a yellow one though).

Reference a PDR which is a physicians desk reference. It has pictures of all of the currently available prescription pills available.There should be one in your local public library.

I tried a few drug id sites and could find no matches.
A local pharmacist should be able to ID it .
Adding what country you are in would help .

I would ask the pharmacist. They are trained to know. They go to school for it.
