how do you get a person to go back on their medication, or at least to go back to doctor?

Do whatever it takes to make it happen.  Recently, 3 of my cousins were murdered by a friend of theirs that was off of his meds.  Also, you be careful around her...If she gets violent, call the police and tell them she is off of her medication.  They will make her take it or go to jail.

Take him/her to the doctor and get some treatment.  After that wait it out. (While admistering the medication of course) Do what the Doc says.

Why don't you want to see a psychiatrist?  There are medications that can help your problem.

"I take meds but I guess they are not working too well."\n\nWho prescribed your meds?? What are you taking? Contact your doctor immediately and let them know they don't work.

Tell someone who has the power to commit her or make her see a doctor.  This would be a parent or husband.

Take your medication (all of it) and if you started it today you can go back in 24 hours, you should only have to miss one day if you start your medication today or even yesterday.  If you started yesterday, you can go back tomorrow.  Drink lots of fluids and stay rested.

I have dealt with this too. The best thing to do is for him to start back on his meds. But with someone with this condition you can not convince them. They have to decide for themselves and sometimes they do. You can try to talk to him when he is being nice if you think it is safe. But I know from experience their mood can change quickly. If he is not on his meds you should not be there. It can be dangerous. I know you care for him but you do not want something bad to happen. Find someone to live with until you have the money to move, a friend, a parent, someone.

Absolutely do not worry about wasting the doctor's time. You seem very kind, but when it comes to your child, the doctor would want you to come back. That is why the doctors are there, to help you. I would take her back anyway, before you sent her back to school.

Keep doctor documentation and keep fighting.  The idea is that you'll give up before they do.  So don't.

You need to return to your doctor instead of asking these people.

Have him make an appointment with the doctor because something is wrong with him and it needs to get "fixed". If he will not go to the doctor, they need to discuss the options.  For me it would be us discussing why he doesn't want to go to a doctor; me getting a lover; us getting a divorce.

You can talk to him calmly about the ways medication would help.But,don't yell or criticize.I don't think that would help.Good luck.

If your friend is a minor, tell her parents, and the school nurse, immediately! (The parents to get her to take them, and the school nurse so if she starts to act up, the office will know why and the nurse will better know how to handle it.)\n\nIf your friend is an adult, taking her meds is her choice. You can invite her out to coffee to sneak some caffiene into her so she can concentrate a little better...lol. The main thing is when the consequences start to hit (reprimands or loss of job, poor college class grades, lost items), just keep answering her ranting about how it's all unfair with..."well, if you took your meds it wouldn't be happening like this!"

1.Medication 2.Psychotherapy.\nSee your Family Physician or a Psychiatrist. Medication treatment for both is usually the same, so they hit two birds with one stone, which is good.
