[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 110234, member: 1169"] Kanga has been in the psychiatric hospital for 7 days. They have screwed up her medications EVERY DAY. First they didn't even have Vyvanse in the hospital pharmacy. It took them THREE days to get some. Then they gave her Cogentin without my consent. Now they are decreasing her Geodon. So instead of 20mg AM and 160mg PM, she is getting just 120mg today, 80mg tomorrow and 40mg on Thursday. The so-called nurse did not give her the Geodon last night, but gave her the full 120mg this morning. Does it make sense to any of you to give a child the medicine that helps them SLEEP at 8am??? Kanga was awake for 24 hours straight. We got a phone call at 1AM last night because she couldn't fall asleep and they wanted to give her Benadryl (we let them but it had no effect). They don't mention that they didn't give her the Geodon. So needless to say, when they gave her the Geodon at 8am, she fell asleep so hard that no one could wake her for lunch. So she missed lunch, they wouldn't let her eat when she woke up -- she had to wait until dinner. And she missed most of the activities today. And the nurse says she can't give her anything tonight cause she already had her Geodon this morning. So Kanga will get to be up all night again and will fall asleep again when they give her the Geodon at 8AM tomorrow. What nurse when she sees an order for once daily Geodon doesn't realize that it is sedating and at least question whether it should be AM or PM???? I demanded she call the doctor. She said, well it is a holiday I don't know if anyone will call back. IT IS A HOSPITAL. YOU DARN WELL BETTER HAVE A DOCTOR ON-CALL. I told her I will call back in one hour and there better be a proposed solution. [/QUOTE]
