my son is a senior at a university. he went on spring break and somebody put something in his drink. he threw up most of it and continue to drink and smoke marijuana for the rest of the week. when he got home he was shouting that someone said he was gay and that person text everyone back home and told them. i took him to the emergency room and the doctors had to restrain him because he was saying i am not gay. He was sedated and they ave him a ct scan which was find, his vital signs was great and x ray was ok. he only had marijiana in his system. when he came home he smoked marijauna and starting shouting again. he is attending rehab. he said he can still hear the voices saying the same thing. no history of mental illness. he is normal doing everything he was doing before spring break except for hearing the voices some time. Will these voices go away?

Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. From the description that you have given it appears that your son is probably developed a new onset psychotic episode. If there was any predilection to develop psychotic illness, then it precipitates by taking marijuana. The voices will go away if he takes proper treatment. The treatment will last for say 6-8 months. Olanzapine, risperidone, iloperodone are certain drugs   that will be useful for him. He should completely abstain from marijuana. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
