He went in yesterday...this was really a planned admission to 1. detox him off this quasi legal supplement called Kratom, which has opiod properties 2. stop the brintellex for a week since he cannot tolerate doing it outpatient and switch him to Ensam, which is an mao inhibitor patch.
He's been going to work for the most part since July when he was suspended x 2. However, all he does is take this stuff and go on the computer. He stopped working out, went to only the minimum meetings, etc.No antidepressant has ever been able to touch his low motivation and drive. So he's going on the mao inhibitor, which is used with treatment resistant people.
He was up to some funny business Sunday. He came down to go to his friend's baby's christening. We dropped him off with the understanding that he would get a ride or take a cab to the train, since we weren't going to be around. Instead he stayed overnight at a friend's and didn't call us, giving us the excuse that his phone was dead. He was supposed to get advance notice to spend the night away from his sober house. Instead, he's a no call, no show. So I get a call from the house manager yesterday. We finally track him down at the hospital, where he was waiting for a bed in detox. He told me he had stopped the brintellex antidepressant on his own 3 days ago hoping to speed up the process, and that made him kind of loopy and manic.
Sounds real fishy to me. But I have no proof.
I told him, you know they would have dropped you had you gone to the house before going to the hospital. Your story just doesn't add up. I said, can't you see how suspicious this is? Well, he said, I wasn't thinking straight, I figured I was going into the hospital the next day, why even come home.
He insists he wasn't drinking. Not convinced.
