Nursing home warning: Aricept and Namenda are considered psych meds!

My mthr is so much happier on psych meds. I imagine if your brain chemistry were breaking down, you would be frantic! My mthr paced, stayed awake for several weeks, and was so unhappy before we made the change. How unfair to deny people with physical needs medicines which restore peace in their lives.

All nursing homes are being pressured to cut back on psych meds. Hold your ground and insist on having the right to choose. If the Health Care Proxy insists on the meds, the patient will have them. Hold your ground work up the chain of command until they give in. Bother your congressman if that is what it takes.
