Hi @denise96. Sometimes he may need to prove to the care team that what they are suggesting won't work. If he refuses to take the medication, the team may through up their hands and deem him non-compliant. If he takes the medication and still doesn't sleep, they may continue to look for other solutions. If he's not willing to work with them. There's not much else they can do. I'm sorry that you are stuck in the middle, that's a terrible position to be in.
Is he stubborn enough to want to prove the doctors wrong? I know a few family members of mine own that may be up for that type of a challenge, (rolling my eyes as I type).
If he takes the meds,
-the meds don't work for him, he proves them wrong, he still feels bad, and gets more help. He feels like he wins the challenge
-or the meds work, and he sleeps and possibly stops troughing up. Making you feel better too.
Please try to take care of yourself, it has to be so difficult to watch his misery.
