I’m sorry to hear the suffering your son and you are going through. It feels so scary. The thing that stood out to me was that your son told the GP he feels the medication isn’t working, and he has given it two months. And that the GP said he needs to persist. In my experience, when a similar thing happened, she got worse because she felt she had tried to speak up and wasn’t heard. It may help to say something like: 1. I’ve been thinking about the recent appointment and how you explained your medication isn’t working 2. It must have been so hard when you were told to just keep taking it 3. Would you be open to making another appointment and I will help advocate for trying a new medication? 4. It may take time to get the appointment, wean off this medication and start a new one 5. You know best how you are feeling and what is working and helping. I want to support you to find a way to feel better and I will try to listen and understand and to back you up. Good luck! People tell me that it gets better and I hope and pray our children all heal and that their lives become better for them. ... View more
