Need help on using antipsychotic drug called Laporex

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

My mother has LBD and is in stage 3 or 4. She was doing very well until 2 months

ago although she always had hallucinations & dellusion. However they were all

manageable. Now she has started to be very aggressive and couldnt recognise her

home at all and want to go home all time - usual sowndowning sendrome.

 

We have tried Serequal before and it didnt help her at all. It made her more

aggresive. Doctor put her on Laporex, but she is not doing well with this

medicine as well IMHO.

 

Her career who started working only a month ago (so it could be that they

couldnt get used to each other) is having a hard time to calm her down. They

have to leave home in the afternoon and they return when my mother get tired of

trying to find her home.

 

My question is regarding Laporex. Has anyone any experience with this drug?

 

She started with 1/4 lunch time and 1/4 in the evening. But since that dose did

not really help her aggresive behavior doctor increased the dose. Currently my

mother is taking 1/4 in the morning, 1/2 lunch time and 1/2 in the evening.

Doctor is going to increase the dose but I am not sure this medicine is working.

I think it is making her more aggresive and confused. Or may be she is not on

the right dose, not sure. I am just worried that she will be even more aggresive

if the dose is increased.

 

Many thanks for your time.
