I have a problem. I'm concerned my fiance may be abusing his cluster meds and I'm not sure how to tell or what to do about it. He takes Fiorinal (Spelling is wrong I'm sure but it's pronounced fee-or-in-al) and he takes it to the point where he's slurring his words and drunk-seeming. It's not every day, but it's several times a month, it seems, especially during stress times, what with his school problems. I have no wish to keep from any pain relief he can get, but I've never heard of this drug being used for clusters and he has abused alcohol a few times in the past and I'm concerned he may be switching to abusing prescrition drugs. Any insights? I'm so grateful to anyone who can shed light. Thanks, Marie
