No, the pschy. yesterday did not prescribe him anything and only told him he needed to 'start weening' off the Clonazepam---this drug, I believe, is a large part of his downturn. Thank you for all of your advise and I am glad to hear that you were able to win victory over your younger year challenges!

Dmom305, THANK YOU...sometimes I do feel as if we are not doing the right thing, or enough, or on and on and on---and, I did check with the facilities over the weekend during our 'watch', you are correct they would not take him - he was not in enough danger?!?!?!
It sounds like he's in potential danger,and needs to be medicated at this time. It does not sound like a good time to wean himself off of any medication. You may want to change doctors,or get in touch with the State Mental Health organization in your state. They have a crises hotline. That's where I'm getting my help. Do you know who to call in your state? It sounds like he needs a anti-psychotic medication.

A long time ago they thought that taking me off Ativan would be the thing to do. They where mistaken. Years later,I'm on Seroquel,which is a anti-psychotic,and Luvox because I have OCD. I'm also on Alprazolam. It took them years,and years to diagnose my mental health problems.

I'm so sorry for the troubles that all of you are going through. Are you getting help from your State Mental Health organization. I'm so sorry. BF
