Need info asap re my Dad. Cutting long story short, he's on Risperdal and anti-depressants, 'cos he wasn't sleeping and had gone loco.Thought everything was under control (he goes off on one when he's not ok, total physcosis about anti-cancer lights, poisoned water etc . Anyway, we worked out that when he didn't take his tablets, that's when episodes occurred. Carer now in place to do brekky and give meds, am and pm. Last Wednesday me and Dh spent 3 hours saying same things over and over, soul destroying having left kids at home. He was tired but totally ok next day, absolutely fine. Saw him yesterday, fine. Carer phoned at 8am to say he's off again.
I need to know if anyone has any experience of this and I need help. He goes to a day centre and they're stumped as well. Have increased his meds in the hope that it will stop happening, not working. Any ideas and also how quickl;y can people go "downhill" as it were?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
