- 3:15pharmacotherapy
- 3:16for

- 3:18not

- 3:22Now,

- 3:2319.
- 3:23That's
- 3:24actually

- 3:35lump
- 3:36the
- 3:36dose

- 3:38So,
- 3:38okay,
- 3:39two
- 3:39good
- 3:39things
- 3:39there
- 3:40potentially.
- 3:41But
- 3:41he's
- 3:41sleeping
- 3:41too
- 3:42much.
- 3:42So
- 3:42do
- 3:42you
- 3:42want
- 3:42him
- 3:42to
- 3:43just
- 3:43sleep
- 3:43all
- 3:43the
- 3:43time?
- 3:44And
- 3:44now
- 3:45we
- 3:45have
- 3:45to
- 3:46ask
- 3:46the
- 3:46question,
- 3:46where
- 3:46is
- 3:47he
- 3:47sleeping?
- 3:47Right.
- 3:48A
- 3:48lot
- 3:48of
- 3:48folks
- 3:49who
- 3:49are
- 3:49dealing
- 3:49with
- 3:49homelessness
- 3:50are
- 3:50sleeping
- 3:50out
- 3:51in
- 3:51the
- 3:51street
- 3:51or
- 3:51in
- 3:51alleys
- 3:52or
- 3:52in
- 3:52very
- 3:53unsafe
- 3:53conditions
- 3:54or
- 3:54environments.
- 3:55And
- 3:55I've
- 3:56heard
- 3:56from
- 3:56them
- 3:56personally
- 3:57say
- 3:58that
- 3:58sedating
- 3:58medications
- 3:59are
- 3:59a
- 3:59big
- 3:59problem
- 4:00because
- 4:00they're
- 4:01sitting
- 4:01targets,
- 4:01right?
- 4:02They
- 4:02have
- 4:02valuables
- 4:03that
- 4:03are
- 4:03already
- 4:03stolen.
- 4:04Quite
- 4:04often
- 4:05they
- 4:05are
- 4:05exposed
- 4:05to
- 4:06violence
- 4:06and
- 4:07assaults
- 4:08and
- 4:08all
- 4:09kinds
- 4:09of
- 4:09social
- 4:10determinants
- 4:11that
- 4:11are
- 4:12much
- 4:12more
- 4:12frequent
- 4:13in
- 4:13the
- 4:13homeless
- 4:13population
- 4:14than
- 4:14they
- 4:14are
- 4:14in
- 4:14the
- 4:15regular
- 4:15population.
- 4:15So
- 4:16giving
- 4:16somebody
- 4:17a
- 4:17medication
- 4:17that
- 4:17is
- 4:17heavily
- 4:18sedating
- 4:18when
- 4:18they're
- 4:19already
- 4:19too
- 4:20tired
- 4:20is
- 4:21probably
- 4:21not
- 4:21a
- 4:22good
- 4:22idea.
- 4:22There
- 4:22is
- 4:22also
- 4:23some
- 4:23literature
- 4:23that
- 4:24Seroquilzit
- 4:25is
- 4:25being
- 4:25abused
- 4:25on
- 4:26the
- 4:26street.
- 4:27So
- 4:27if
- 4:27you
- 4:27give
- 4:27him
- 4:2830
- 4:28pills
- 4:28or
- 4:2960
- 4:29pills
- 4:29or
- 4:2990
- 4:30pills,
- 4:30whatever
- 4:30it
- 4:30is
- 4:31you
- 4:31decide
- 4:31to
- 4:31give
- 4:31him,
- 4:32and
- 4:32he's
- 4:32on
- 4:32the
- 4:33street,
- 4:33he
- 4:33also
- 4:33becomes
- 4:34a
- 4:34target
- 4:34to
- 4:35a
- 4:35robbery.
- 4:35And
- 4:36a
- 4:36lot
- 4:36of
- 4:36patients
- 4:37who
- 4:37are
- 4:37houseless
- 4:37do
- 4:38get
- 4:38robbed.
- 4:39And
- 4:39so
- 4:40especially
- 4:40now
- 4:41you're
- 4:41making
- 4:41him
- 4:41a
- 4:42target
- 4:42because
- 4:42he's
- 4:42carrying
- 4:42a
- 4:43medication
- 4:44that
- 4:44can
- 4:44be
- 4:45stolen
- 4:45and
- 4:46abused
- 4:46on
- 4:46the
- 4:46street.
- 4:47So
- 4:47there's
- 4:47even
- 4:47a
- 4:47higher
- 4:47value.
- 4:48It's
- 4:48not
- 4:48to
- 4:48say
- 4:49that
- 4:49everybody's
- 4:49going
- 4:49to
- 4:50know
- 4:50that
- 4:50Lenny's
- 4:51taking
- 4:51Seroquel,
- 4:52but
- 4:53again,
- 4:53it
- 4:53might
- 4:53be
- 4:53this
- 4:54needless
- 4:55intervention
- 4:56when
- 4:56you
- 4:56could
- 4:56have
- 4:56picked
- 4:57something
- 4:57different.
- 4:57Now,
- 4:58believe
- 4:58it
- 4:58or
- 4:58not,
- 4:59Seroquel
- 5:00is
- 5:00actually
- 5:00not
- 5:01the
- 5:01answer
- 5:01here.
- 5:01It
- 5:01is
- 5:02not
- 5:02the
- 5:02least
- 5:02appropriate
- 5:03pharmacotherapy,
- 5:03although
- 5:04I
- 5:04would
- 5:04argue
- 5:04it's

- 6:29But
- 6:29again,
- 6:29I
- 6:30don't

- 7:16person
- 7:16at
- 7:17the

- 7:21Lenny
- 7:22right
- 7:22now.
- 7:23So,
- 7:23again,
- 7:24it's
- 7:25not
- 7:25the
- 7:25right
- 7:25answer
- 7:26here,
- 7:26my
- 7:26friends,
- 7:27but
- 7:27it
- 7:27is
- 7:27you
- 7:28wouldn't
- 7:28be
- 7:28wrong
- 7:28to
- 7:29say
- 7:29it's
- 7:29not
- 7:29the
- 7:29best
- 7:30pharmacotherapy
- 7:31for
- 7:31him
- 7:31either.
- 7:33Now,
- 7:33what
- 7:33about
- 7:34Vraylar?
- 7:34Raylar
- 7:35is
- 7:35reasonable,
- 7:35okay?
- 7:36It's
- 7:36FDA
- 7:36approved
- 7:37for
- 7:37bipolar
- 7:38one
- 7:38depression.
- 7:38It's
- 7:38kind
- 7:39of
- 7:39one
- 7:39of
- 7:39the
- 7:39new
- 7:39kids
- 7:39on
- 7:39the
- 7:40block.
- 7:40Okay?
- 7:41Mood
- 7:41stabilizer,
- 7:42antipsychotic,
- 7:43perfectly
- 7:44serviceable.
- 7:44I
- 7:44don't
- 7:45have
- 7:45a
- 7:45lot
- 7:45of
- 7:45negative
- 7:45things
- 7:46to
- 7:46really
- 7:47say
- 7:47about
- 7:47it
- 7:48either.
- 7:48It
- 7:49does
- 7:49have
- 7:49a
- 7:49pretty
- 7:50favorable
- 7:50metabolic
- 7:51profile.
- 7:51But
- 7:51again,
- 7:52even
- 7:52if
- 7:52your
- 7:52patient
- 7:53doesn't
- 7:53have
- 7:53metabolic
- 7:54issues,
- 7:54why
- 7:55give
- 7:55them
- 7:55something
- 7:55extra
- 7:56to
- 7:56deal
- 7:56with?
- 7:57Because
- 7:57it,
- 7:57you
- 7:58know,
- 7:58think
- 7:58a
- 7:58medication
- 7:59like
- 7:59Seroquel
- 8:00or
- 8:00Zyprexa
- 8:00will
- 8:01reliably
- 8:02mess
- 8:02with
- 8:03their
- 8:03metabolic
- 8:03profile.
- 8:04And
- 8:04now
- 8:04you
- 8:04have
- 8:04Lenny
- 8:05out
- 8:05there
- 8:05who's
- 8:06already
- 8:06house
- 8:06and,
- 8:07you
- 8:07know,
- 8:07home
- 8:08insecure.
- 8:09Maybe
- 8:09his
- 8:09diet
- 8:10is
- 8:10processed
- 8:11and.
- 8:11And
- 8:12it.
- 8:12It's
- 8:12just
- 8:13like,
- 8:13well,
- 8:13why
- 8:13give
- 8:13him
- 8:14something?
- 8:14Why
- 8:14give
- 8:15him
- 8:15another
- 8:15problem?
- 8:15So
- 8:16I
- 8:16think
- 8:16Vlar's
- 8:17perfectly
- 8:17suitable.
- 8:18It
- 8:18does
- 8:19have
- 8:19an
- 8:20extremely
- 8:20long,
- 8:21effective
- 8:21half
- 8:22life.
- 8:23So
- 8:23if
- 8:23he
- 8:23misses
- 8:24a
- 8:24dose
- 8:24and
- 8:24he's
- 8:25not
- 8:25as
- 8:25compliant
- 8:26because
- 8:26he
- 8:26can't
- 8:27be,
- 8:27again
- 8:27because
- 8:28of
- 8:28social
- 8:29determinants
- 8:29where
- 8:30he
- 8:30just
- 8:30can't
- 8:30secure
- 8:31the
- 8:31medication
- 8:32quickly
- 8:32enough,
- 8:32or
- 8:32there's
- 8:33something
- 8:33that
- 8:33pops
- 8:33up
- 8:34or
- 8:34he's.
- 8:35People
- 8:35steal
- 8:35from
- 8:36him,
- 8:36or
- 8:36he's,
- 8:37you
- 8:37know,
- 8:37he.
- 8:37He.
- 8:38He
- 8:38has
- 8:39to.
- 8:39He
- 8:39gets,
- 8:39like,
- 8:40evicted
- 8:40by
- 8:40the
- 8:40police
- 8:41out
- 8:41of
- 8:41a
- 8:41certain
- 8:41location
- 8:42in
- 8:42the
- 8:42park.
- 8:43Right?
- 8:43There's
- 8:43a
- 8:43lot
- 8:44that
- 8:44can
- 8:44go
- 8:44wrong
- 8:44when
- 8:44you're
- 8:45homeless.
- 8:45And
- 8:45so
- 8:46an
- 8:46effective
- 8:46half
- 8:46life,
- 8:47a
- 8:47higher
- 8:48effective
- 8:48half
- 8:48life.
- 8:48There
- 8:49is
- 8:49a
- 8:49little
- 8:49bit
- 8:49of
- 8:49a
- 8:49grace
- 8:50period
- 8:50there.
- 8:51So
- 8:51that
- 8:52could
- 8:52work
- 8:52for
- 8:52you.
- 8:52I
- 8:52don't
- 8:53mind
- 8:53very
- 8:53large
- 8:53here.
- 8:54There's
- 8:54nothing
- 8:54that
- 8:54jumps
- 8:55out
- 8:55at
- 8:55me
- 8:55that
- 8:55says
- 8:55it's
- 8:55inappropriate.
- 8:56Lumateperone
- 8:57or,
- 8:58you
- 8:58know,
- 8:58that's.
- 8:58That's
- 8:59the
- 8:59last
- 8:59one.
- 9:00One
- 9:00of
- 9:00the
- 9:00last
- 9:00ones.
- 9:01Another
- 9:01reasonable
- 9:02choice.
- 9:02Also
- 9:03known
- 9:03as
- 9:03Caplita.
- 9:04FDA
- 9:04approved
- 9:05for
- 9:05depress
- 9:06depressive
- 9:07episodes
- 9:07associated
- 9:07with
- 9:08bipolar
- 9:08I
- 9:08or
- 9:08ii.
- 9:09Not
- 9:10a
- 9:10bad
- 9:10idea.
- 9:10It
- 9:10is
- 9:10dosed
- 9:11once
- 9:11daily.
- 9:12That's
- 9:12what
- 9:12Lenny
- 9:12wanted.
- 9:13It
- 9:13is
- 9:13expensive,
- 9:14though.
- 9:14Typically
- 9:15it's
- 9:15a
- 9:15newer
- 9:16kid
- 9:16on
- 9:16the
- 9:16block.
- 9:17So
- 9:18when
- 9:18we
- 9:18talk
- 9:18about
- 9:18what's
- 9:19the
- 9:19least
- 9:19appropriate
- 9:20pharmacotherapy?
- 9:21I
- 9:21think
- 9:21it's
- 9:21an
- 9:22appropriate
- 9:22pharmacotherapy.
- 9:23It
- 9:23just
- 9:23might
- 9:24be
- 9:24inappropriate
- 9:25because
- 9:25it's
- 9:25too
- 9:25expensive.
- 9:26So
- 9:26it's
- 9:26just
- 9:27yet
- 9:27another
- 9:27filter
- 9:27you
- 9:28have
- 9:28to
- 9:28put
- 9:29these
- 9:29medications
- 9:29through,
- 9:30right?
- 9:30In
- 9:31addition
- 9:31to
- 9:31the
- 9:31side
- 9:31effects,
- 9:32in
- 9:32addition
- 9:33to
- 9:33the
- 9:33patient's
- 9:33preference
- 9:34in
- 9:34dosing,
- 9:35you
- 9:35have
- 9:35to
- 9:35ask,
- 9:36like,
- 9:36is
- 9:36this
- 9:36too
- 9:36expensive?
- 9:37Because,
- 9:37again,
- 9:38it
- 9:38could
- 9:38be
- 9:38the
- 9:38best
- 9:39medication
- 9:39in
- 9:39the
- 9:40universe
- 9:41for
- 9:41your
- 9:41particular
- 9:41patient,
- 9:42but
- 9:42not
- 9:42if
- 9:42it's
- 9:43$5,000
- 9:43a
- 9:44month.
- 9:44Right?
- 9:45So
- 9:45my
- 9:45friends,
- 9:45the
- 9:45answer
- 9:46to
- 9:46this
