Green and white capsule tablet marked GH31? Updated

I have found this in my sons room and he is not here to ask what it is does anyone know? He has been acting out of character lately and I think if I asked him anyway he wouldn't tell me the truth if it is something dodgy.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

    Prozac (Fluoxetine) 20mg is green and a cream colour in my experience, but don't know about the 'GH31' bit...

    Thanks, if it was prozac though wouldn't it say 'prozac' on the tablet and also the milligram?
  • I would have thought if it was medication, it would be marked with something recognisable? Was it in a packet?

    I don't know how old your son is, so apologies if this is an inappropriate suggestion, but could it be steriods or viagra?

    Hi loulou , he's 17 and someone else has just suggested it could be a steroid? It wasn't in a packet it was on its own and it wasn't particulary hidden, I was putting his post in his room and I spotted it behind a picture frame standing on his shelf.

    from narcotics down to sedative on the right hand side of the page and can't find anything, they also have a forum which you could try? http://www.pharmer.org/forum/pill-identification

    Thanks I'll have a look. My husband is going to take it to the pharmacist to see if they can tell us.

    GH31 is a protien - could it be some sort of diet pill?

    Thanks I suppose it could be a diet pill but then I presume it must be his girlfriends because he is very thin naturally and would like to put weight on. My husband took it to the pharmacist and he said 'give me a couple of days to find out'. He gave the tablet back to my husband though?

    My lads are all grown now - but am thinking of you Mae.

    I've been lucky in that my boys haven't even smoked let alone anything else. I consider myself lucky, very lucky that they haven't touched any substance. Am keeping my fingers crossed for you. x x x

    Mae I do feel for you, it is a worry . I was going to suggest you try your local pharmacist then I read that you already have, let us know what he says
