I’m thinking my wife needs injections due to non compliant. If a med doesnt work in a month she quit
Everyone is different. With my daughter it was fairly quickly she also still took lithium
Christina was introduced to it while she was hospitalized and she was still taking lithium. With Chris I would say within a couple of weeks. She reacts very quickly to meds – the same when she goes off them… She will be manic within 2 days.
But everyone is different as I said. I’m so sorry you are going through this. It’s terrible for everyone. I would love to open a community much like the ones that they are building now for retirees… like some towns etc… But the difference with the one I would design would be that it would be for families with a mentally ill family member who may actually not live with them but in another living situation nearby-- their own apartment, group setting etc… There would be many opportunites for those afflicted to meet others-- support groups, mentoring etc… same for the family members… it works… Good luck
