General Discussion

I think (from what I read online) those cases are folks sitting at home, deciding to try it (self-medicating). The MD in the jail or wherever is probably dosing carefully and knows about possible interactions.

I'm not arguing that off label prescribing is a good thing. Just noting that it's super common. Unless there is harm done - the MD in this case is probably fine (again, not a medical professional. But I've worked as a MSW for years - and even done some research. MANY drugs prescribed in psychiatry are prescribed off label. Especially to kids.........).
