I absolutely thought your heart was in the right place but that you might not know the full story. My understanding is that Newtus has been given an adequate trial of every antipsychotic with the exception of clozapine and only haldol was partially effective. She was also on injection so compliance was not an issue but force was. In Texas some pdocs actually follow something called the Texas algorithm it is a flow chart that basically tells you which side effects are tolerable or not in addition to what meds to try etc. if you develop a side effect they simply give an additional med all of which have side effects of their own. The algorithm suggests maxing out the dose of any AP that was even partially effective and simply giving additional drugs for the inevitable side effects. It is geared toward total remission which is not possible for everyone. At some point Newtus could not eat due to a side effect and the pdoc simply told her to start blending her food. At great personal effort she extracted herself from that pdocs care and found a new one but kept the therapist at the original clinic.
