Hi Jeroen :-)
>i aint hospitalized, i am going 3 days a week to the hospital?
Unfortunately, you will have to be admitted to hospital if you want to try Leponex :-(
>should i go to a psychiatrist outside the hospital and ask them to prescribe this for me?
No, treatment with Leponex is only initiated in inpatients. All psychiatrists would say the same.
>i really need your advice on this... what should i do?
If you really want to try Leponex you will have to ask your psychiatrist to admit you to hospital. After you have been stabilised on Leponex you will be able to continue treatment with Leponex as an outpatient. You would probably only have to stay in hospital for a short time. When people start treatment with Leponex they sometimes have serious side effects such as very low blood pressure. It is safest to start Leponex in hospital because the nurses can monitor you closely eg. measure your blood pressure regularly etc.
Good luck!
