I
am beginning to appreciate how important it was for Andrew to take control and
try to manage his illness. When Andrew would go off his meds for a few days, it
would take a while for the meds to clear his system.
During that time, where he
still had some benefit from the meds but few of the side effects was when he
felt the best. However, it was a very short window.
This may have also been
true of his use of marijuana and prescription drugs. When he was taking them,
he felt better; the after effects of marijuana were an intensification of
irritability and delusions.
The prescription drug that he used to his greatest
relief was OxyContin.
