Husband has Alz.doctor discontinued Xanax and gave risperidone. He is know confused in the morning saying he wants to go home. He never said that before changing to risperidone. After about an hour he is ok and knows where he is.
Has anyone else had this experience.
My Mom had daily panic attacks, we tried several drugs and risperidone (0.25mg 2X daily) was a life saver.. It stopped all panic attacks and paranoia.. It does make her drowsy but that I can deal with.. Better than her shouting for me at 4am to call an ambulance and blabbing non stop nonsense..
