With all due respect my statement was based on Newtus's previous experience with this clinic. She was taking meds/injections for 6 months but they just kept increasing the dose despite the fact that she did not want to. If the drugs were going to work they would have...Once you are on an injection there is no way to safely decrease the dose yourself and rapid withdrawal tends to promote psychosis. The highest dose of haldol injection is 100mg....and Newtus was still symptomatic so they decided they would just ignore the dosing and give it to her multiple times a month at the full dose. Then additional APs were prescribed on top of the haldol increasing the dose further. Some people cannot become fully non-psychotic even having tried every anti-psychotic...this treatment resistant population is around 30%. If the meds are only partially effective an individual should have the right to choose when the benefits of decreased psychosis outweigh the risk of sleeping 18 hours a day and feeling suicidal. Meds are not a miracle cure for everyone...it's not always so simple as taking them consistently. However the contract puts this decision of the best dose entirely into the hands of her pdoc.
