Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi Lynn, I am glad that your Mom's bad hallucinations and nightmares have been stabilized. A little happy hallucination with an imaginary friend is not a bad thing. I always found it difficult knowing that Mom was looking at me and hearing other words coming out of my mouth and seeing someone else and not me when she was looking right at me....but that person she saw and the words she heard were not good, and she was fearful. So, I am glad that your Mom's current hallucinations are nice people and speak the same language. God bless all those who suffer from this disease. > > > > My Mom is 75 and has LBD. She takes 5 mg of Zyprexa every night. She has done this since 2003. Whenever we try to come off of it she gets anxious, and starts to hallucinate. She also had a really bad reaction to Aricept. I was just wondering if any one else has any similar experiences? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I know different meds work differently on each person. All i know is that they put my Mom on 5mg Zyprexa in 2003 when she first hallucinated. Every time we tried to come off they would start. This last time the rehab took her off...she came home....fell following something....ended up back in rehab and back on Zyprexa......after few weeks she is back to " her " normal. I will never take her off Zyprexa. she misses one dose and its not a good thing. So I hope this helps. I Know it may not work for everyone but it works 4 her. Judy.....Daughter of Helen 75 w LBD.
