After 3 weeks of full manic episode complicated with severe depression and fueled by recreational no-no's (beer, pot & pills of undisclosed origin) M had a grand finale with Easter buffet at a local oriental restaurant. At the end of the stressful meal he announces "I quit taking my meds over holidays" and then "I'm ready to go in now" (mental hospital). First they sent him to the medical hospital over night to observe and test to find out what recreational drugs he had taken. By the time I got off work he was back at the mental hospital to get his meds and sleep back on track.
M has been on nearly every form of meds used to treat Bi-Polar disease until they either quit working or start to become toxic to his body. I worry that they will run out of choices of meds to use. Even with these worries I am breathing easier knowing he is getting the help he so desperately needs. I believe in the power of prayer so I welcome any that my readers may offer up.
Patti, I'm glad that M is in treatment and getting the help he needs. Both of you are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that M went to the hospital and pray they find a medication that will work well.
