That must be tough to deal with realizing your son is addicted to heroin. I know what it's like to be on the other side of the fence, in essence, being addicted.
What I can advise you is to take care of yourself first, everything else comes second. IF you want to see your son get some kind of help, put him in a treatment program and let them work with him. IT will be too difficult to do this on your own. Addicts helping addicts is the best way for him to get better; the only thing I dont agree with is that a person is completely powerless over his disease, but still a treatment program will be better; Narcotics Anonymous is one way to get into a drug-free living program, they should have info on this.
I am sorry to hear that you have started having depressive episodes. I started a new thread in the general forum titles "name your favorite antidepressant" smaybe you can get an idea from people about which one to try if SSRIs havent worked for you, write down the name, and suggest it to your doctor.
Take care of yourself.
