[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 634618, member: 15832"] He was brought to the ER for delusional behavior, the consequence of abusing his Adderal prescription. An easy date to remember unfortunately, it being 9/11/13. I spoke to him last night and reminded him of the progress he's made. He's stayed sober. He's had his part time job for almost 6 months, and shows up reliably (I've seen his payroll statements). He sees his caseworker and therapist. (I get the insurance statements). I took him to new university clinic psychiatric doctor who is weaning him off zyprexa (antipsychotic), with the result that he feels less numb, a little more interested in doing stuff, less disengaged, and personal appearance has improved. He went to two concerts with old friends this summer, one overnight, and reports that he did not drink. He does not call me with an emotional crisis or a demand for money anymore. There are still concerns. He still tends to isolate himself. Therapist is working on getting him to go to more meetings and make some friends, new friends (struggles with this because of his social anxiety and his non verbal learning disability). He is into supplements in a big way, some of which could be harmful, such as kava kava and kratom (using them to treat ADHD symptoms at work, so he says). This is concerning to us. I did discuss with therapist (he knows) and we will bring up at psychiatric appointment next week. [/QUOTE]
