Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi - Welcome back. Glad you had a visit with your parents. May I ask, why is your dad taking Ativan? My dad was given Ativan, before I knew of it's effects, and it acted in reverse. What was given to calm him down and keep him on even keel actually turned him paranoid and caused huge behaviors. He never returned to his baseline. Hugs- Sandie Des Moines, IA dad, Merle, passed from LBD 9-20-02, age 65 mum, (MIL), Jo, passed from LBD 4-29-07, age 78 -- Austin wrote: I stayed with my Daddy Saturday. I made a list of his pills: Morning---1 micarbis 40 mg. 1 terazsin 10 mg. 1 Synthroid 0137 1 atenolo 50 mg. 1 levothyroxine 25 mg. 1 depakote 500 mg. Noon 1 Seroquel 50 mg. Night 1 neurontin 100 mg. 1 ativan 1 mg. 1 seroquel 250 mg. 2 depakotes 500 mg He has been taking these pill for almost a month. He has good days and bad days. My Mama had to call the police to pick him up and bring him home this past week. He stole the car keys and left. It is a small town--the police didn't ticket him. My Daddy is a big muscular man and my Mama(his caregiver) is very small. She is having a difficult time with him. He has terrible hallucinations. He has a primary care doctor and neurologist. His main doctor is the first to identify lbd! I NEED ALL ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS ON THIS JOURNEY! I already miss my Daddy because he is gone!
