Mother is in NH and seroquel isn't working anymore, her anger is coming back!! Has anyone watched this happen to a parent?

Contact the person who prescribed this for her and inform them what is going on. They'll know weather to up the dosage or to try something else.

Are disasters for others.

There are many discussions on this site about meds that work and meds that don't. Search for seroquel in the search box. Maybe by this thread getting pushed to the top with this response others will offer suggestions. Some medications work great for some that are disasters. It is a matter of trying various combinations, trial and error, to find what will work for her.

Ativan didnt work so they changed her to haliprol and that didnt work, not even Morephine worked with those drugs.. Her behavior is more directed at the family, the case nurse said that her anger starts to show more with the nursing home staff they will report to her to up her dosage.. I know they started her on a low dosage of seroquel... She was so nice when they first gave it to her, but not anymore, but she watches herself with nurses so far...Before this all happened she was over doing taking her norco from her chemo, she used like a sleeping pill.

How much seroquel is she taking? She might be starting to have ad adverse reaction to it. What does her doctor say? Many with dementia take up to 400mg a day. Maybe it is time to up her dosage? Or, she needs a new medication entirely. Ativan, often has the completely opposite effect on the elderly than is intended. Have they maybe started her on that in an effort to control the behaviors?
