[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 382671, member: 1514"] I am sorry she is pulling on your heartstrings. I think I told you early on that she would do this. First they may honeymoon for a short time (sometimes). She probably did this more because you were so close and also because she had that cell phone. Most places dont allow those. Now she is going to start the manipulation phase where she promises the moon and the stars. She will also threaten you with how awful you are and how you just dont care about her and how mean everyone is to her. She will pull at every bit of power she thinks she has over you. You cannot give in. Only when she figures out you are in this for the long haul will she start working her program to get better. You have to reassure her that you believe in her ability to do this. You have faith in her but that you will not rescue her because you also have faith in the program. Set times that you will talk to her but also let her know she can write to you. Send her cards everyday. Maybe even two or three a day. I used to do that when Jamie was in boot camp to keep his spirits up. Dont worry too much about the seroquel. 100 mgs isnt much. That amount will cause sedation more than a higher amount. If they go higher, there will be less sedation. Lower doses are used to sedate rather than as true AP's. [/QUOTE]
