devestated:

My heart goes out to you. DE is right, everything you or anyone else does is futile if he doesn't want to be medicated. You can't force someone to do it unless they're ready. That is a very heartbreaking lesson I learned from my brother. He's like my first child, and he was diagnosed schizophrenic when he was 15. He does well while on meds but he has unfortunately moved away, (500 mi.) and has quit taking his meds. I can't even call him. I have to write him same as you do and all I can do is ASK him to please or beg him to please but it's up to them, ultimately. I hope all works out with you. I'm trying to get my brother (now age 22) the help he needs, so I know where you're coming from. Best of luck.
