[QUOTE="klmno, post: 291082, member: 3699"] There's no way I can reach Department of Juvenile Justice tonight. difficult child calls from his unit thru an acct line so I don't have that number and am not allowed to speak with hardly anyone in Department of Juvenile Justice anyway. He had a similar problem with people who gave him his medications in detention last summer. I had to wait a few days then complain to the right person, but it was effective. I'm not sure it will be as effective with state Department of Juvenile Justice. Anyway, I don't know of any 24 hour pharmacies around here- I wonder if the pharmacy at our 24 hour walmart is open all night?? I may have to wait until tomorrow morning and call our regular pharmacy. I told difficult child to tell them he needed to see a nurse first thing tomorrow am (which would be a different nurse) but he says he can't unless he's throwing up or has a fever- otherwise, he has to put a request in to go to the infirmary and that takes days to go thru. Then I told him that if he gets sick make sure they know about this mess-up. They all know that he's going thru a medication-wash, but if this goes awry this weekend they need to be aware that it probably wasn't trying a medication-wash that did it- it was coming down on tegretol, then going back up and lowering lithobid the same day. I doubt (and hope) that this wasn't really a nurse but just a staff person assigned to give out medications. Being in Department of Juvenile Justice, they make issue if a kid tells them that those aren't the right medications. That's another thing I'm going to mention- the kid has a right to ask them to double-check the rx if the medications don't look right. Of course tonight difficult child told me "I told you Mom- this is not the best place to monkey around with my medications". (Well, it's still better than being at home and going thru it.) [/QUOTE]
