Thumbs down Hospital FAIL!!! HELP

I have been having a REALLY rough time! I had to drop out of school a few month's ago after 3 classes. I had to drop out because I was feeling a decline in my recovery and all together mental/emotional state. I started getting dizzy , brain zaps, really depressed etc. I thought maybe it was my SNRI.

I had went to a behavioral health hospital to try to get help. Well they kept me as inpatient for 2 day's. They could not do anything for me if I was not suicidal, bipolar , or hearing voices. My family had to advocate for me from the outside by phone telling these idiots that I REALLY did have a TBI and a list of other diagnosis and syndromes until they got medical records.

Finally!!! The hospital coordinator that was assigned to me had talked with me and I told them how I was being treated, how I was not getting my needs met, (they would not even give me my sunglasses till 24hrs later!!!)I was going totally NUTS!!!! The coordinator told me that they really could not do ANYTHING FOR ME! And he got me released early 57 hours out of mandatory 72 hours. Gave me a few community resources and got me follow up appointments with my psychiatrist that I already had.

I have to questions....
Has this ever happened to others?
And the hospital psychiatrist started me on Topamax. Any input on this for "mood stabilizing" and "migraines"?

Thank you!Any feedback is appreciated greatly!Mia
