My son was aditted in the hospital for Psychosis.. I cant get him to take his meds and it seems like its getting much wore.. Please tell me what I can do to help him. When I try to talk to him about his meds he starts to get aggressive.. I worried about him hurting himself. He refuses to go back to see a doctor cause when he was in the hospital  they put him in isolation room.. I dont know what to do to help him.. Do you have any suggestions for me.. I will do whatever it take to help him.. Thank you Sherri

Hello thanks for asking from HCMHe was admitted in hospital for psychosis and now he is refusing to take medicines and is getting aggressive while asking for medicines. He is also at risk of hurting himself. As per my opinion as he is having psychotic episode and is refusing to take medicines then he can be given long acting anti-psychotic drugs in injectable form. Drugs like Fluphenazine are available in injectable form and provide protection for unto 15 days. Other option is to give him drugs without his knowledge by mixing with food. Drugs like Risperidone, Olanzapine (Both anti-psychotics) are available in tasteless and odourless form and can be mixed with food or liquids. As you are his father and primary caregiver, visit his psychiatrist and discuss about these options, he should improve with these methods.Thanks, hope this helps you.
