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.

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
