Hi,I am Raju.A.T (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son, age 39 diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder, is receiving Invega shots every two weeks. He had a shot on Wednesday. He has also been prescribed Depakote 500 mg 2 tablets at bedtime. He’s been on the Depakote for about a month. He also has a prescription for Lyrica 25 mg twice a day. Baclofen 10 mg once daily. Today he was given Thorazine 25 mg “Take 2 at bedtime”. He must have taken them when he came home @ 4:30pm. He said he didn’t feel well and went to bed. I know it may sound ridiculous, but I have no info from his outpatient providers, because he won’t sign releases. I can only assume he’s been taken off the Depakote, but I’m worried about all these drugs. I don’t have the highest confidence in his providers. He’s been hospitalized 8 times since February. Do you see any conflicts?
