Dear Carole, I hear you, and I will try----the staff psychiatrist at the NH did mention it as a possibility, but wanted to see if switching from LARGE dose of Prozac to Celexa would help the agitation. They could of course do the blood draws at the NH--or in the hospital--that would be no problem. I do intend to bring this up when I am down at the hospital tomorrow--bless you dear Grinch for your vigorous caring ! The goal is if possible to get him medicated appropriately so he can function at Westover, which is really a good place--Peter's current opinion that they are all devils and sadists to the contrary.....now I'm going to try to get some sleep pretty soon.
