Well, thing is that I wasn't there when she prescribed it. My now old psychiatrist saw me once, and then after two weeks of nothing, my mom and I went in again, for a second visit, and well to say it with words she basically said "I do not want to deal with her, you are her mother, since I don't want to help, here is a referral to the psych ward, good luck. Oh here are those pills to kind of help her sleep" ...at least form what my mom said. I wasn't there because she asked me to leave, so she could talk to my mom things that I had never said. Anyways if it's an ap I guess it will work for my psychosis. Any side-effects?
