My daughter (age 17) has 27 voices and has hallucinations. She is taking medication for it and that has helped at least make it manageable. I am in the process of changing her Pdoc, as the one she had can no longer see her. (Our grant went away, and it was against the rules for her to continue seeing her.) I had great difficulty finding a new pdoc for her, but finally found one an hour away that will see her. The problem is, they didn't have an opening until the end of October! Starting yesterday, my daughter's voices started reverting to the way they were before she started her current medication...telling her to hurt herself or someone else. She said they have become louder and I see her struggling with her anger because of it. I am not sure what to do at this point...she definitely needs either a medication adjustment or a medication change, but that can't be done until she can see her new pdoc. (Her primary care doctor has agreed to write her prescriptions until I get her situated with a new pdoc...thankfully!) Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to help her or to get her the care she needs right now? I feel it's a bit drastic right now to bring her the the hospital, but something has to change before she get suicidal again.
Thank you in advance for your input!
