So yeah---I absolutely agree she has a choice in meds---if they don't offer her another option they are even bigger jerks than I think---there are several injectable atypicals(risperidone and abilify) that I'm sure would be acceptable even to her untrusting doctors but what I understand her to be saying is not I want another med but I want no med. I'm actually not saying she should write letters---I honestly feel that is an unwinnable battle given how many mass shootings have been attributed to MI individuals lately---what my actual argument is that recovery or an attempt at it is the only way out. What she is experiencing right now is chemical restraint which I think should be freakin' illegal. This happened because she pissed off her treatment team who are poor excuses for human beings to begin with. It will happen every time she fights with them so long as she continues to see them. They will see it as an improvement and continue the treatment indefinitely. Given the few choices in a rural local she is probably stuck with this team and will deal with them for years. Pissing off a**holes who actually have the power to chemically restrain you at will is a really poor choice. Its just like being in the psych hospital---you can lie to get out or actually get better. You have to comply and play their game or you will never get away from it. Play along until you either get better or find a way out.
