A question about paranoid and mean behavior

[Guest guest]

Hi Everybody.

My dad and I are still dealing with mom's paranoia and rather mean behavior.

She just called me and told me he was trying to kill her and was putting stuff

in her medicine. He is having a hard time getting her to take anything the

doctor has precribed. She was taking Respiradone (not sure if I am spelling

that right) last week which was prescribed by the psychiatrist. I thought that

was suppose to help the paranoia and agressiveness. She seemed almost her old

self last week but yesterday the evil twin came back and I guess she is still

here. I don't think dad was giving the full dose since it really knocked her

out and maybe that is the problem. Of course now she is so angry with him she

won't take anything. The only thing she will take is her Parkinson medication

which of course has side effects. My question to you all that have gone through

this is, is this a new thing we will be dealing with daily now? It seems like

it comes and goes for several days at a time.

I am trying to get used to this as its new but its really hard when she is

telling me horrible things my dad is doing to her like beating her and threating

to kill her with a gun. I know she is afraid. She saw the psycharitrist a week

ago but got mad and told him she wasn't crazy but everyone else is.

Its a living hell for my dad and I just pray this is something we can get under

control soon. Its so unlike my moms normal personaility.

We have been told my mom does not have LBD but Parkinson Dementia. I don't

really know what the difference is as it seems to me the symptoms seem the same.
