Question: How much weight in the claims decision process does medication for a specific disease and/or disorder play?
I was given both Serentil and then Mellaril for an acute schizophrenic episode during a three month hospital stay on a psychiatric ward in the Navy, in 1973. Both are use to treat specifically for schizophrenia, but now are only recommended when at least two other types of medication are tried, because of bad side effects on the heart beat.
I am now taking Quetiapine Fumarate, which is also used to treat schizophrenia. Basically it is to keep the bezare thoughts and ideals that I get from time to time.
None of these meds are exactly a drug that you give someone to treat him for a personality disorder, inadequate type. HuH!
