She is so beautiful! Can i help? I am going to get in touch with the innocence project people tomorrow (today). Please say a prayer. How can i not try to give justice to my brandon and alison? Have i gone insane yet?
:Justice:
I am so sorry for your loss...your heart must be broken.
One thing I picked up on in the article was that she had taken seroquel that night. I'd like to know more about this.
It's main use is an as anti-psychotic, but also has off-label uses, such as being used to induce sleep.
I have a few questions:
Was your daughter diagnosed with any mental illness prior to this?
Was the Seroquel prescribed to her? Or did she get it from someone else?
Had she taken the seroquel before this night?
The reason I'm asking is because most people are given methadone, bupe, or benzo's when going through heroin withdrawals. And if Seroquel is taken by a person who is
not psychotic, it has the
potential to make them become psychotic.
Obviously it also causes extreme drowsiness, and possible numbing of emotions......which could explain her lack of emotion when paramedics/LE arrived.
The fact that your daughter was trying to kick the habit shows she must have been putting her son first, and truely loved him.
What a terrible shame it is that there aren't more affordable rehab facilities available that allow mothers to have their children with them at the facility.
OT: When I went to rehab, it was a government-run facility set on a farm.
I believe it was the only facility in the state that allowed children to live with their mothers throughout the 12 month program, that also included parenting classes.
If something like this had been available to your daughter, things could have been very different.
