caregiver concerns

Posted by laurie66 on November 10, 2002, at 15:40:59

Hi, this is my first post, I'm not the patient, my husband of 14 years is.
He had a complete meltdown 2 and a half years ago, diagnosis:
Panic disorder
major depressive disorder
adjustment disorder
fallout is agoraphobia and OCD
They recently put him on risperdal - Sept 11 1mg
and adjusted last tuesday to 2 mg with benztropine to help with the side effects. His regular meds are: Paxil 40mg, Effexor 375mg, Ativan and Diazepam when needed to take the "edge" off. He is also on eltroxcin.
My question - the side effects of the side effect fixer is quite scary, he can't hold a conversation or changes topic mid sentence. Confusion is really bad with this one.... how long before the side effects disapate?
any input would be helpful,
thanks
laurie
