Thank you. You are making sense. Re
was he coming off drugs and seeing things, Its confusing re the dustmites. He said he could see them and was in a panic for 38 days cleaning his unit and not sleeping well, outside on the entranceway. He is angry at me still for suggesting to him that maybe he was influenced by the meths. Though he is on anti psychotic medication depot shots he still doesn't seem to accept that maybe his psychosis was from the drugs.. He thinks it was simply a crisis he survived. That the dust mites were the problem and he's the victim of them. Even the clincal team manager says we dont know about the dust mites if they were real or not, but he was very paranoid in the mental health unit. So now yes, thank you its good to know about your brother in law having to make a choice between medication or illicit drugs. That they cant take both it seems. So there is hope that this depot shot will help my son deal with his addiction. They are just trying to get the dose right. Trial and error it seems, as they say in the beginning he will be very tired, and he sleeps most mornings,but hopefully will gradually get used to it and maybe will be able to have a life in time... thanks again for replying to me.
