Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Good morning Norma, I'm glad that this person was able to contact YOU - because you are the right person to talk to about finding a good doctor. I was horrified to read all the meds this person is taking... is it possible for this person to get into the city to see Dr. Galvin? Helene > > > I am writing out of frustration after reading an email from a caring person trying to get information re a doctor in New York for her cousin (who lives in NJ). These are the drugs that her cousin is currently taking: Ativan, Abilify, Depakote, Lexapro, Remeron! It is absolutely maddening to know that a doctor could give all of these drugs to one woman who has this disease. I feel so badly and have given my advice strongly, you can be sure. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 OMG Norma! Even without LBD how could a person function on all that? That poor woman must be almost comatose, likely with much agitation, hallucinations, inability to communicate any of it. I can't imagine the hell she is going through. > > > I am writing out of frustration after reading an email from a caring person trying to get information re a doctor in New York for her cousin (who lives in NJ).
