Has Anyone’s Loved One Been Put On Haldol (haloperidol) For Aggressive Behavior?
Where Can You Place A Very Combative Person?
My husband is very combative when We try to help him. He fights and kicks the home care givers out of the house. Police have been called twice. Dr. put him on haldol but that doesn't seem to stop him when we try to clean him up, or get him dressed or redirect him. But it does keep him at bay when we're not asking something of him. He's in hospital now for his 2nd seizure. Trying to place him but no facility will take him after they read his records. They changed his med's, but he's still… read more

Any People Have Issues With Donepezil And Leaky Bowels? Husband Wont Talk About It, But I See It On His Underpants.
Yes, donepezil can cause GI problems. Talk to his doctor.
My Husband Has Been Experiencing A Lot Of Shaking Hands And Feet. One Of The Original Possibilities Was Parkinsons. Is That More On Course
Was he ever on psychiatric drugs like Haldol if so could be TARDIVE DYSKANEASIA if so Austedo is good for tremors.

It's a demented game, and I'm losing.
Anyone Have Experience With Haldol? And How Do I Tell If He Is Agitated Or Just "active"?
We started Dad on low does at night to help him not fall out of bed, and to get a better night's sleep, with less agitation. Seems to have worked great.
During the day, Dad gets into periods where he counts and moves his arms, hands and maybe even his legs some (wheelchair bound). Hospice at the AL center suggested that this is a sign of agitation and they recommend more Haldol. I don't want him agitated, but I also don't want to just add pills to keep him somewhat sedated. I feel like his… read more
Mom only gets this in extremely agitated condition. She is on Trazedone on a regular basis and that seems to keep her on a more even keel,she doesn't seem drugged.
Hi, My Wife Is 58 And Has Been Diagnosed With Severe E/O Alz/Dem. She Is Being Treated With Meds For Anxiety, Depression And Aggression.
Her Neurologist prescribed Duloxitine 60 MG in am. Quetiapine 25 MG in am, 25 MG in afternoon 50 MG at pm and Olanzipine 5 MG at pm. My wife refuses to swallow these, so I have been having to crush the tabs and open the Duloxitine capsule and mix them in applesauce. The Neurologist said this was okay to do and the Duloxitine is not the delayed release
My wife has been on the Duloxitine and Quetipine for about 8 weeks now and they just started the olanzapine last week. Her aggression,… read more

Have Any Of You, Who Have Lost Loved Ones With Dementia, Observed Them Having Terminal Restlessness?
My husband, who is under hospice, has recently become non stop restless and not able to sleep at all. Just previous to this, he was in a cycle of being up 24 hours and then sleeping 24 hours. But now, he’s not sleeping at all.
That’s good to hear. Now maybe you can get a little rest. The last few weeks before Ernie passed were physically and mentally exhausting. He started refusing food the second day he was in hospice. He… read more
