I/ve posted some of my feelings about the state of hospitals on the psych board, but I wanted to address the medication situation going on lately.
When I was in this summer the psychiatrist would see me for about 3 minutes each day and each time he increased my meds.I left there taking Welbutrin, Lamictal, Risperdal, Seroquel, clonodine, and antabuse.
I felt high, and not in a good way. Meanwhile they cold turkeyed me of clonazepam at the same time. The tried to give six oscal (calcium) instead of Asacol (my ulcerative colitis med) when I had to bring my own bottle in the first place. I pointed out this was dangerous incompetence and they called and complained to my wife.
I took all their damn meds so they would let me out, spent 100s of dollars with insurance on scripts then tapered off everything but welbutrin, lamictal and clonazepam. I'll never take an atypical ap again. or go into hospital.
I think I just worked myself up! (smiley face)
