Her pdoc wants me to have her hospitalized so that they can take her off of the AP's that she is on, and put her on Clazril in a hospital setting where it will be safe to do.
The problem is this time I know that she is going to fight me about being hospitalized. She will not want to go.
So how do I handle this? Do I make her go? do I force her? How do I do this without her hating me and without her feeling as if she has no control over the situation?
Or do I not take her to the hospital and keep her at home? I need some advice please.

OK I don't understand why she needs to be in the hospital for this, admittedly a lot of pdocs cross-taper meds and do other weird stuff but when I switched from risperidone to abilify it was like night one take nothing night 2 take a half dose of abilify night 3 full dose of abilify---you don't really need to clear you system completely of the drug to start a new one since they are very similar. I see no reason this can't be done at home since the current med clearly isn't working great to begin with. Ask the pdoc why they can't do it outside of the hospital...
