What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
I have a 15 yo daughter who was admitted to a mental health facility for thoughts of suicide and self harm. While she was there, her doctor called me and asked for permission to start her on 10mg of a medication. Upon discharge we were given an Rx and sent home. For the next few days she started acting completely out of character, thoughts of self harm were even worse. Just one example; she at one point told me she wanted to jump out of the car (while I was driving) and hit her head on the pavement repeatedly. 6 days after she was discharged from there she took 10 of the meds she was prescribed, ambulance was called, when they asked for the Rx name and dosage, I told them the name and dosage and gave them the bottle. They looked at the bottle, the Rx was for 20mg, not 10 as she was taking at the facility. I then admitted my daughter to another facility to get her of the medication that she was over-prescribed and onto a more stable one.
Is there anything to pursue legally?
