Thanks for all of the responses. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss what happened to my dad. My family are like CIA and dont discuss anything with me. Ever piece of information I have at this point has been acquired all through my own searching.
To answer your question, he was in fact given sedatives along the course of his treatment. At the time of his death his current scripts included:
Halcion
Restoril
Xanax
Desimipramine
Imipramine
Dexedrine
DarvocetALL of those being prescribed to a suicidal man. Can you believe that? The two that I have the biggest problem with actually are not even narcotics. ITs the antidepressants -Desimipramine and Imipramine. Even back then, PDRs instructed practitioners to NEVER give these particular drugs to a suicidal patient, as they were dangerous in the fact that overdose was fatal.
So for the life of me I cannot figure out WHY his quack doc would do such a thing. I hold a lot of anger and disgust for that man. But now that I know that my dad truly had a condition that his doctor was not aware of, it makes me less upset about that.
Not that I am forgetting what that doctor did. But I do forgive him in my own heart.
