Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I am new to the group. My mom was diagnosed with LBD a year ago. She needs full time assistance with everything and her mobility is very poor. I am wondering if/what types of meds there are for controlling her moods as well as bursts of crying uncontrollably. Would appreciate any assistance in dealing with this. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. > > > Hi , I too would like to know what meds are suitable to give an LDB patient. I know there is not a lot. My sister has very wide mood swings and cries a lot too. She was diagnosed a year ago also, but she has had this illness for much longer than that. She is being given Ativan for her agitation, but I don't think she should be on Ativan and I certainly wouldn't recommend your mom being on it. I think it may help at the time, but when it wears off, her agitation is worse and she seems very depressed. If someone can advise you what your mom could be given for these moods, I would love to know as well. Good luck. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
