Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Tracey, sounds like she is on a whole lot of serious meds. If I were you I’d ask her (or her guardian if there is one appointed) to go along to her next doctor’s appointment just like you suggested you might do. Find out the why and wherefore on all those and go from there. I have had to do this recently with my mother in-law and it helped a lot. I could post all the information including side effects of all these drugs, but it’s a pretty scarey thing –especially when you don’t have all the information you need. It is kind of like taking one page of a book and reading it out of context. Taking pharmaceuticals is never a good thing, as we all know, but I wouldn’t mess with this until I had the whole picture. Good luck to you.

Can you please help me with info on these drugs? Time is limited at present have sick kids. 1. Risperdal - Schizaphrenia - she not schizaphrenic but could be using for dementia which I read could be fatal for high blood sugar levels which she has - type II diabetes as well if used for dementia related psychosis there is an increased risk of death. 2. Kalma - Alprazalam - for anxiety disorders and depression. 3. Diaformin - for diabetes. 4. Aspirin - don't know if got heart problems. Am trying to get Carl's brother to write down all the meds she is taking so I can organise meeting with doctors and find out why on all these things. Thanks for your help.
