Hi Lynn, Cotalopram already has a sedating effect and if he’s on two per day, then I would think adding anything else could become dangerous (falls etc). I would most definitiely have a discussion with his specialist (not necessarily the primary care physician).

Lynn, I have no advice on meds, but gosh, I wish I could give you some real hugs fir all you are going through! And maybe a foot massage for all the running you must be doing! Good luck, and let us know what you find out!

My husband has been given Trazadone to help keep him calmer . It seems to help.

Hi Lynn, I’m so sorry - you sound as though you are truly exhausted. Have you spoken to he doctor about this behavior? Maybe the doctor can prescribe Lorazepam to relax him. This is something that may help with the constant figiting that he is doing as it will relax him. You are in my prayers ...... things may not get better but our reactions towards them seem to adjust. Many hugs to you!!!!!!

My H is also on Citalopram 40 mg once a day as well as Wellbutrin and Seroquel (low dose for aggression). We have added CBD Oil twice a day to help with the aggression and it seems to be helping. Unfortunately what works for one doesn’t work for another. The oil is natural and has less side effects. Good luck to you.
