Hello everyone

the doctor put her on lorazepam 0.5mg for anxiety
zyprexa 2.5 mg for sleep then effexor 37.5mg for depression bi-polar, she must go to the pharmacy once a week to get one weeks worth.

I hope she can not do herself harm on 7 of these pills the lorazemoam she has 14 she could take them twice a day.

I am really at my wits end, she has been gone all weekend drinking, she did not take her pills with her thank god.

But that still leaves her with no meds. I know it is her choice weather or not she takes them to get better. I want to help but feel my hands are tied.

Any sugestions???????
