Pharmacology - My roommate is doing some extraction with ibuprofen...

[wespawloski]

I have come under the knowledge that my roommate has been addicted to opiates and painkillers for a while now. A search through his bathroom drawers reveals two prescriptions for 600mg ibuprofen (filled at different pharmacies) and many OTC boxes of 200mg ibuprofen.

I have been having insomnia recently, and my roommate begins to do something about 30 minutes after I lay down to sleep.

I hear him getting stuff out, cap comes off a pill container, crushing of some pills is heard, water runs, he goes and grabs some 'orange juice' (it looks and smells like legit orange juice) from the kitchen, adds it to something. I then hear a syringe filling with water and something gets microwaved, he comes back, I hear another cap fall (I assume its the head of an injecting syringe) and then he makes some noise and that seems to be the end. I hear a clank on the desk, should I assume its a belt or syringe?

He had been addicted to codeine, and his drug dealer friend came by with a bunch of hydocodeine a while ago. Maybe hes doing an extraction on vicodin?

I may have mixed up the order a bit on his actions, but I assume he is separating something in water and isolating it via syringe (either in the syringe or the remaining solvent), adding orange juice, possibly washing it with water, something goes into the microwave (maybe), and roommate gets his fix. I have also heard something similar with no microwave...

I have a script for naproxyn, and just realized why the amount of pills looked low... someone has been stealing my pills... Would ibuprofen get boring or something? Why would he bother with my 500mg naproxyn. He has about 50 grams of ibuprofen... why not use them?

My roommate has a teeth whitening kit with two boxes of syringes filled with something. I can't remember if there used to be more syringes, but still, a desperate person may use a contaminated syringe to inject painkillers?
