[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 703371, member: 21066"] At his age, I don't think he can be forced to take his medications. Sometimes the medication can make the voices worse until you find the right combination. Is that why he won't take the medications? He might be so paranoid that he thinks any prescription is poison, etc. Talk to a social worker (not one at the place that turned him away) and see if there are any options. He's suspicious of everyone because that is the nature of his illness. In some situations, you can get a court order to force him into the hospital for three days. There he would be required to take his medications. After being on the medications for three days, some people start feeling and acting more rational and realize they need to continue the medications, while others promise they will take their medications and don't after being released.
