Cornell hospital psych ward info anyone?

the only psychiatric drug you are on is klonopin and other than over the counter meds you also take one opiate, what is your P-doc's reasoning for admission to a psych ward?

When the patient is struggling, and the doc wants to add medication, doing so while inpatient allows them to supervise the process/makes it go faster. They can titrate up or down more quickly because the patient is under supervision.

That can be true irregardless of any other meds the person is on - though, I'd guess it makes a lot of sense when the other meds are habit-forming.
