Barb, I know what you mean. Some of these abbreviations just baffle me too. RAD means Recovering Addict Daughter. I always posted on Friends and Family of Substance Abuse Forum. My daughter since then went into recovery and was doing quite well. She has been clean for 8 months now. During this process the pdocs started treating her for bi polar disorder. The docs claim she was self medicating with drugs instead of getting into proper treatment. She was doing okay, I thought with the dosage of meds that she was taking. Yesterday the pdoc increased all of her meds and it is just too much for someone her size. She is petite and doesn't weigh a lot.
I asked her what she is going to do and she doesn't like to discuss her meds with me. I worry a lot and don't like her taking all of these pills. I understand if it is necessary but I think some of these docs tend to overmedicate. She wants to take control of her own situation and wants me to stay out of it. I told her I just don't want to watch her hit the floor again. I am still shakey today from that whole thing.
Thanks for your replys Barb...........Lo
