[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 596257, member: 13561"] Thanks so much for your replies. When he was in the mental hospital they gave him Thorazine, which he said leveled him out and make him feel like a normal person. He said he felt that that was what he needed. So we got the RX filled and he just stopped taking it after a while. Partly because I put him back in the Mission (and they're not allowed psychiatric medications, because they believe that God will take care of their mental problems...hmmm) and partly because when he got out he wanted to get high on other things. He has no insurance but is in the Medicaid system, Doesn't have a card so he's supposed to go and get "his numbers in order". I keep thinking I should do this, but again, they don't really want to deal with me because he's an adult and I feel he is able to make certain calls to selective people (like drug dealers) so he should be able to do the same to really help himself...or is that too much to expect? When I met with him the other day he felt that he didn't need his psychiatric medications. I think it's just a lack of money and a **** health system. If we had oodles of cash, he'd be in a facility pronto. He just called again, sounding very altered, asking when I could come get him. I said not until he was in a sober state and that I was not professionally qualified to help him. I refuse to deal with him in an altered state. He becomes very violent when he is drunk and I am not willing to take the risk. So exhausted. But so guilty. [/QUOTE]
