What's with the Drs.?
Just to play devil's advocate for a moment...
Valium, an anti-anxiety med, paired with soma- used often for insomnia, plus haloperidol- an anti psychotic= he was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, with
depression as a secondary dx. Vicodin (hydrocodone) - could be actual hydrocodone, not vicodin- which is an ingredient in some cough medicines- which
if he was having flu like symptoms, may have been prescribed for that.
It's a startling combo to the average bear, but not so suprising to someone with mental illness that have secondary effects. I myself take daily
celexa, propanol (NOT for HBP- for anxiety), oxycontin, flexiril, and seroquel.
That's alot of crap. But has no "highs" involved, nor am I walking around like a zombie.
Just saying, his combo of meds is not really as ridiculous as it seems, in fact, for his dx's, it seems rather mild.
