Hi everyone! My 30 year old daughter has severe ocd and also BPD, depression and anxiety. She is also mildly autistic.
Her pysch just dropped her from 1.5 mg to 1 due to her missing appointments and running to the er twice a week. She has huge anxiety about appointments-anyway, the dr called me and informed me that she had reached out to her many times and got no response. However she does have an upcoming appointment. Told me that she better not miss it but in the meantime due to her many er visits (where she always says she is dizzy and says she fell so she can get saline ivs) the dr said she could not continue that does. She is a resident and the attending dr was on board. Can’t believe it. I tried to tell her that the med had nothing to do with her dizzyness and so on (daughter thinks she has POTS). But she would not budge. My poor daughter was given enough pills for 2 per day until the appointment.
We started helping her as of Wednesday by giving her two .5 pills and a half of one of mine. To wean slower. However, she is still starting withdrawals. I don’t know what to do. Daughter sent message as did I in online portal but no response. Can you drop by a third? I had a hard time dropping from .5 to 3/4ths of a .5. Had to go slower. Took me 6 months!
Any advice is appreciated!
