Melatonin and anti-psychotics

So I talked to David’s psych team three times today.  The result, we are going to get him back on his meds, get him stabilized again.  They are also going to put him on an anti-psychotic drug.  I forget the name of it. They are working to get as many of his meds in liquid form as possible.  This will make it harder for him to vomit them up at will. We are also transitioning to a time release melatonin and a melatonin spray. He should be home in about 72 hours.  Still waiting on getting him placement in the residential facility.

I woke up to discover that my cell phone was missing.  I woke up with heartburn and went to get the pack of gum that I use to help me combat the heartburn. Missing.  I got the phone back.  No luck on the gum. It isn’t that he stole the gum, it is that he feels no compunction or remorse in doing so.  His story changed no less than four times and resulted in a full out meltdown in which he was begging at the top of his lungs for someone to save him. I never touched him except to calm him down. Still no gum.  The package is here, the package is there.  I
