Day 2 on Medication for my Brother

Tweet

So far the medication seems to do great for him getting to sleep, and in the morning he is fine. But later in the day the voices start again and he is increasingly agitated. We see the doctor on the 3rd for a follow-up so I'm hoping they can either up the dose, or prescribe something else on top of the olanzapine. It's been really scary for my family as we hate seeing him like this, and it's really hard to be with him pretty much 24/7 I am hoping my dad can help more and he can go there for a few days out of the week. I know inpatient would be best but he still refuses to do that, and we can't force him here in Oregon unless he becomes a danger to himself or others. Oregon is very strict on the rules for mental health, we had to sign waivers so we were even able to know information on his care. Continue the prayers, and good thoughts I know my brother is still in there and will come back to us someday.
