How does that work, if you don't mind me asking? Do you only take them when you have work the next day?? Why don't you take them every night? I haven't really been taking mine because I feel like I don't deserve to sleep, plus I'm worried about people coming in when I'm asleep so I've been locking my bedroom door at night and not taking my sleeping tablet. If you don't want to answer, I apologise for being nosy

They did not put her on clozaril. Instead, they gave her to a new T who said she was faking and blamed me and my husband for her vivid imagination. We told them she was not ready to come home and they said she was. SHE said something is wrong in her head and she could not come home. The T said 'you are ready to go home'. The Pdoc there Dx her ADHD and anxiety and sent her home on zyprexa and tenex.

Can you believe this?????
We get in the car, I try to call her pdoc that she sees at home but cant get hold of him to tell him what just happened. The whole way home she is crying and saying she cant live like this any more. She doesnt want to live. She is yelling that she needs to go back. That she cant go home yet.

We get home and she is still doing it and is suicidal. Poor Bean has never been suicidal. I brought her to the ER and they admitted her when they heard what happened. She is now at the State Hospital in Binghamton. Childrens section. She has this nice Indian Pdoc in there and when I told her what her 'new' Dx was, and how they tried to blame us for her illness, he slammed his fist on the table. lol

Anyway.....she will be there at least 3 weeks and they want to begin the clozaril. Sadly, I have to agree. I am so tired of my baby suffering. This is the short story because I hate typing for a long time. I miss my Bean and have been crying for DAYS.

I have to tell you. When your child is sick like this and some ignorant doctor comes along and tries to point a finger at the parents, it is the most devastating thing to ever happen you. Thankfully, we got her to a place that understands. This new pdoc says this is normal and happens time to time and to have a tough skin.
I dont have tough skin...but im learning to.

I have also learned to make sure that any doctor who is caring for my child has to be experienced and trained about schizophrenia and psychosis. That is an absolute. Because if they are not experienced with it, this is what happens.

So NOW, she is on her way to feeling better.Funny. The hospital that has been so good for her the 3 other times she was there changed all their staff this last time and turned into the hospital from h.e.l.l.....It is very sad. And the hospital that I did not want her to even go near- the state hospital- ends up being not so scary. They are actually nice. I am totally humbled. And thankful.

But now she is almost 2 hours in the opposite direction.(sigh)
No gas. I hate my life right now.
So good to hear from you Punky! Sorry about what happened at the first hospital to Bean. That's basically what happened to me: they said there was nothing wrong with me, stopped all my meds, which made me feel invalidated and suicidal again (which was what I'd been admitted with, but had begun to dissipate) and they kicked me out without even asking if I was suicidal at all

But I'm glad that Bean is at a different hospital now with better staff. Hopefully she'll feel better and be home soon. Sucks you can't visit though
