Form 8

[forgetmenot]

My daughter is no longer covered under our medication plan and ODSP does not cover her ADHD medication strattera so was told to get a form 8 filled out by her psychiatrist. I will pick up this form hopefully Monday when she sees her doctor. Does this form go to the pharmacist or do i have to give it to ODSP representative I have enough of her meds for one more week although she will be going to a program on Wednesday maybe i should wait and give them the form 8. Just want things in order for her before she leaves. Thanks

I don't know if this is the same Form8.pdf. But, if it is, it is to be faxed or mailed to the address provided on the form. And I assume the physician returns it since s/he can get paid for filling it out according to this page.

Thanks but i don't think it is the right form as it is not work related just for her psychiatric meds she is on for some reason strattera is not covered.
ODSP said to get her psych doctor to fill out this form 8.
I see him Monday so hopefully he should know where it goes if not i will phone ODSP back on Monday as well as they are the ones who said to get it filled out.
Always something to do!!!!
If all else fails ill just buy her the meds they are expensive but if she needs them so be it. thanks for trying though.

I'm not sure what Form 8 is, Violet. Call ODSP and ask them.

You might be able to get samples of the Strattera from her Dr. My psychiatrist supplies me with one of my meds in samples because my disability doesn't cover it.
Just a suggestion.

 

[forgetmenot]

Yes thanks STP i have done this once already. I wish i would have thought to ask what i do with form when i got it. I will be alright i can ask tommorrow oh God just need calm my brain down abit. Everything is going to happen to fast. I will be okay thanks I will write down to remind me to ask psych doctor tommorrow for more samples just incase. thanks. I want to ask her not to go away i don't want her to go I know it is not what i want it is what she needs right. Would it be wrong for me to ask her not to go but to stay as she is doing so well now.

Yes. It's about what she needs.

Would it be wrong for me to ask her not to go but to stay as she is doing so well now.

Yes. It would be both wrong and a bad idea for both her and you.

Where is she going?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Where is she going?

See above:

she will be going to a program on Wednesday

 

[forgetmenot]

She is going back to Homewood where she became unstable because she went off all her meds. She is going to a different program that deals with trauma and substance abuse. I won't interfer iwon't ask her anything It is between her and her mental health nurse. Im sorry i asked I know it is about her i know. thanks oh it will all be okay One thing at atime First get form 8 filled out and sent whereever. thanks

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Violet, is this Form 8 the same as the "order for admission" Form 8?

Never mind. That wouldn't be it unless she was charged with something under the Criminal Code.

 

[Andy]

I'm assuming that is a rehab facility? And I totally agree with Dr.Baxter. She may be doing "well" but it sounds like she still has a long ways to go. I don't understand why you would even think to ask her to stay if she still has things to deal with. I'm sorry if that is rude of me to say, i don't mean it to be rude, it's just an honest question.
I hope you can tell her you love her, wish her well and send her on her way to work on a bright and happy future.:support:

 

[forgetmenot]

No you or noone would understand why i would ask her to stay but as i said i won't do that.
I will take her wish her the best and pray this time outcome won't be like the last. Yes she has more work to do and yes i have work to do but we both have been so stable so happy oh i understand i do.

 

[Andy]

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
I wish you both recovery and happiness.:support:

 

[forgetmenot]

Please STP you didnt' upset me im okay, i am you are right everything you said is correct okay. I will wish her well that's all i can do thanks for your advice.
