Q.
Our son cannot take psychotropic meds.
The state mental hospital wants us to consent to
ECT.
We believe some of his psychosis was induced by the
psychotropic meds.
PLEASE, tell us how to locate a residential facility
that will accept him so he can be washed free of
psychotropic meds before we decide if ECT should be
tried.
Thanks,
A.
This is not my area of expertise, but I would suggest
contacting the Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
Information Service:
http://www.nmsis.org/index.shtml
They have a toll-free hotline 888-667-8367 and could
hopefully point you in the right direction.
