[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 679831, member: 20051"] Detaching, The seroquel thing is interesting. I didn't know that people used it on the street to come down from meth. If that is your son's purpose it is kind of funny considering his diagnosis. I'm also in the camp of I won't send commisary money. I know that the prison food is crappy, but the stuff they buy on commisary is junk, too, so I wouldn't feel like I was improving nutrition any, really. I know each jail works differently. The county jail my sister mostly resides in always has some sort of "job" available to earn commisary money. Kitchen, laundry, dishes, grounds, custodial, so she always manages, somehow. ...and, yes, there is always gambling and barter. I wonder, if when your son was 1st jailed that they decided to hold off on medicating him until the drugs were out of his system to see how much of his psychosis/mania was drug induced and how much is mental illness? Now he is, probably, just a victim of, honestly, not the best or swiftest medical care. If I can ask....do you attend any type of support group for the family of the mentally ill/addicts? I have found it very helpful in the past. Nar-anon helped me a lot. You could look into your local chapter and/or your local NAMI chapter. It helps a lot to have a live support system. [/QUOTE]
