Welcome back, Danielle!
Finding your way through the wild jungle of different services you need a machete to hack through miscommunication, in other words, the service providers are so overwhelmed that they get all confused, first they have to follow/respond to policies/protocols..... and responding to parents concerns gets all mucked up.... good luck there. Funny how the pattern repeats itself, over and over I read the same situation. A person is prescribed an antidepressant in your h's case Wellbutrin, it did nothing??? and then he is diagnosed with Bipolar or mood disorder and now he is on two drugs: an anticonvulsant (or "mood stabilizer") Valproic acid (Depakote) and Seroquel, an antipsychotic. A doctor once told me "Once on antipsychotics, always on antipsychotics", meaning what? Antidepressants on some people cause mood instability....funny how the pattern repeats itself. But at least he can speak and tells you and the doctor how it feels on this and that drug. His words should be the quote of the century: "He says it makes him feel like hes got a "real" disease and its just not him". That's insight! |
