[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 355580, member: 84"] Kathy There is not a psychiatrist worth their salt who won't listen to the concerns of a parent of a mentally ill adult child. It does not violate a single patient right, nor the HIPPA laws because you're not really discussing her, you're just giving him valuable outside information so he can better treat her. The prescription drug thing worries me. Really. Seriously worries me. If she's abusing them, it doesn't surprised me one bit that her bottles were empty long before refill time. Why cuz the fav thing to do is crush and snort. From what I hear, it's a beautiful and popular high. And can also be a very deadly high. Even if she's not crushing/snorting, running out before the due date is an enormous red flag of abuse. I doubt she's selling them or she wouldn't be needing to steal from you........they ain't cheap on the streets. If she IS selling them, I'd be looking/searching for any other signs of serious drugs such as cocaine/heroine. Just to be sure you're not dealing with that on top of everything else. My bff used her psychiatrist/treatment as a means to supplement her drug addiction. She died because she crushed and snorted a half new bottle of ativan. She never woke up. psychiatrist should've never even prescribed her ativan due to her drug/alcoholism issues. Let alone at least 5 other drugs he had her on. But you can't be treated appropriately if the doctor doesn't really know what is going on. And the ONLY reason I'm saying to interfere and tell him.......is because it is potentially life threatening. I know it's horribly hard when you're right smack in the middle of gfgdom. Man, do I know it. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
