MY SON

HI MY SON IS 19 YEARS OLD. HE JIONED THE MARINES RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. I DIDN'T STOP HIM BECAUSE I KNEW THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED SINCE HE WAS 5. ONE NIGHT HE TOLD ME HE WAS HEARING VOICES. I ASKED HIM WHAT WERE THEY SAYING. HE JUST SAID THEY WERE CALLING HIS NAME. O.K. SO WE HAD A FIGHT BECAUSE HE STAYS UP ALL NIGHT AND SLEEPS ALL DAY.(AND THIS WAS AFTER BOOT CAMP). HE JUST COULDN'T HANDLE IT ANY MORE SO HE MOVED OUT. HE STAYED AT VARIOUS PLACES (FAMILY). THEN ONE DAY HE JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BEST TO SEE SOMEONE. SO HE SAW A DOCTOR ONCE A MONTH AND SHE DESCRIBED SEVERAL MEDICATIONS TO HIM. NOTHING WORKED. NOW HE'S ON SEROQUEL 200 MG TWICE A DAY AND ANOTHER 100MG ONCE A DAY. THAT'S 500MG A DAY NOT TO METION AN A ANIEXTY MED. AND SOMETHING ELSE. CAN'T REMEMBER. (I THINK HE RAN OUT ANY WAY)SO ANYWAY EVERY NIGHT HE TAKES HIS MEDS. AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S ON HEAVY DUTY DRUGS. THEN HE PASSES OUT. HE SAYS HE DOSEN'T HEAR VOICES BUT HE STILL DEPRESSED AND FEELS WORTHLESS. PLEASE TELL ME. WHAT SHOULD I DO? (ALSO THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW HE LOVES POT AND SMOKES IT OFTEN I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE.) AND HE WAS CALLED TO KUWAIT. BUT BECAUSE OF MEDICAL REASONS HE CAN'T GO (THANK GOD)! (HIS FRIEND WENT WITHOUT HIM!
