Rispiridol, the long acting injection. She went to her local ER and reported the SI, they ended up calling her psychiatrist who told her that her thoughts were delusions and he gave her a double dose of the medication early and then sent her home with no follow up
Actually, the community mental health center claimed they followed up with her but she didn’t answer the phone. She didn’t answer the phone because she was dead. It took me calling them saying you know what she hasn’t been answering my calls either, and she usually calls me all the time, she usually calls you guys all the time have you heard from her at all? They were like no, yeah that’s weird, we’ll call for a wellness check.
I know you aren’t in the US but if anyone is reading this and they have a loved one suffering from mental illness, do not ever ever let them go to Seacoast Mental Health in New Hampshire or Exeter Hospital in Exeter New Hampshire. They will die and everyone will just say oh well, they had mental illness anyway. She didn’t have SI before she was injected with a medication With a black box warning for SI.
Also, I found out the hospital really doesn’t care about HIPAA regulations if you are screaming at them and posting all over Facebook that they murdered your mother. Maybe it was because I was her emergency contact they felt OK doing it but they ended up sending me her medical records from that visit to prove to me that it was her doctors decision to overdose her and send her home. Not that it mattered, but the board of medicine was extremely impressed with my ability to bully them into giving me medical records.
Thank you for your kind words, she’s not the only one in this state who has been abused by their mental healthcare provider. It’s really bad here. But I know it’s really bad everywhere these days.

Thank you for sharing Maggie. This is so beyond the bounds of what care should look like, it's disgusting. I'm so sorry again

I am so so sorry. No one should go through that. And they absolutely should be held accountable.
