Re: Helping an lbd caregiver (Zyprexa)

[Guest guest]

There are no hard and fast rules about antipsychotics since 50% of those with

LBD can handle them, and 50% cannot. Most LBD experts start with Seroquel or

Clozaril, but many with dementing illnesses cannot tolerate those. While many

with LBD cannot tolerate Zyprexa, many can.

If the " no more than 2.5mg of Zyprexa " is in writing and the fact that 10mg was

administered can be documented, then perhaps that's the point on which the

caregiver could file a complaint with the state's medical board.

> Hey friends, Im posting to help a fellow caregiver, who apparently told her

loved ones doctor he could have no more than 2.5 milligrams of zyprexa and whose

doctor gave her lovedone 10 mg only to have her lovedone decline a great deal

rapidly from it.Her question to me is ...Is there any printed official info that

states that a patient should not be given this much zyprexa or is there an

authority that could be contacted to verify that this should not have been done?

to help this person get together a lawsuit against this doctor as her lovedone

has decline drastically from this?Thanks for any help in advance Ron
