Answers:
Try to not let your sister put sleeping pills in your dad's tea!. If there are bad consequences, then your dad may be addicted!.

Being addicted can lead to many health problems, some of which can be very serious or fatal (don't worry about your dad dying though, it's VERY unlikely!.) If your dad turns out to be addicted, you should tell him immediately, and see if he can get over his addiction!. If he can't get over it, then I would recommend seeking medical help!. Don't worry about it though, I'm sure either way your dad will be fine!

I would tell your sister that if she doesn't stop this that you are telling your dad she has been doing this, if she says you'lll be in trouble for not saying sooner, then tell her not if he feels you just found out about it now!. I also would not let him have the "tea"!. Tell him it's gone or hide it so they don't find any!.

I would not let this continue, there are side effects with almost any type of pill you give, whether over the counter or prescribed!. This is wrong of your sister to be doing this now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to tell him! An accidental over dose can kill people too!. Also long term-wise, this "addiction to tea" can be bad for his health because the longer he drinks the tea with the pills, it may make him want more and more stronger dose of 'tea'!. What your sister is doing is really bad and she can get into really big trouble if anything bad happens to your father!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, its very bad for him, especially for someone of that age taking that many pills without knowing it---sleeping pills have all sorts stuff in them----and too much of anything is bad for you, especially if that thing makes it hard to wake up in the morning, and even more especially if he doesnt know hes taking them

and tell your sister not to be such a slut if shes so young she has to wait for daddy to go to sleep just to go outWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sleeping pills aren't bad for you like every so often when you need them, but if you are giving it to him every night and he really wants the tea a lot it sounds like he is sort of getting addicted!. I think that you should stop this though to make sure nothing serious happens!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to tell your Dad what your sister has been doing!. How dare your sister do that your Dad and you sit by and allow that! Would you like it in the future if your children slip you drugs in your food or drinks!? What comes around goes around and maybe when your sister has children her children will slip her rat poison and kill her to inherit life insurance! You people are so messed up today!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is bad to be addicted to sleeping pills!. They are just like any other prescription drug!. You need to stop this!. NOW!Www@Answer-Health@Com

DO NOT STOP THE SLEEPING PILLS SUDDENLY, YOUR FATHER WILL HAVE VERY BAD REBOUND INSOMNIA!. FIRST, call his MD & tell him what is going on!.!.!.your sister is Igetting prescriptions from someplace right!? Maybe he prescribed them!.
Some people stay on sleep medications for a long time!.!.!.as long as she is not increasing the dose!.

I'm presuming your father is not well!.
Was your father psychiatrically stressed or depressed!? Did he refuse to take meds!? Do you know the exact medication!?

Tell your sister you found out what she's doing & you want to see the medication bottleS & why she is making your father think it's Chinese medication!?
Tell her you notice he has trouble waking up & getting to work in the mornings!. If she has a good reason for giving him the medication, tell her the dose or medication needs to be adjusted so he can function in the morning!.

If your father is well, tell her that with her there, you will tell your father what she's been doing!. Then make a MD appointment for him for a comprehensive check up & you go with him

Good luck to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
