Can Lithium be sent home with an individual firm the hospital? My wife is believed to be stale her meds and she says she have some left form the hospital. She be there surrounded by July 06. She said they sent three bottles, is that possible?Lithium for BiPolar patients?
No. Ethically, a hospital should not discharge a patient next to 10 months worth of medication, and it's HIGHLY unlikely that they did so. Generally when a bipolar patient is hopitalized, it is for severe depression or severe passion, often near delusions and/or hallucination. For this reason, it would be hazardous, and certainly not within the patient's best interest to d/c them with so much medication.
A apt hospital would do thorough discharge planning with the forgiving and his/her family, and ensure that he/she have follow-up appointments with his/her consultant, psychiatrist and the rest of the treatment team.
Generally, they discharge the merciful with singular a couple of weeks worth, or perhaps a month's worth of meds.
Patients are commoy prescribed Lithium, because it is that substance that the brain is underprovided that causes the bipolar conditon. Three bottles of Lithium...I don't infer so. She may have be prescibed some other medication to go along near the Lithium, such as Elavil (Amyltriptyllline).
