Unusual aggressive behaviour

[Guest guest]

Hi

There have been several mentions of people with MSA getting aggressive and

yet they weren't aggressive in nature prior to getting MSA. I do believe

that SOMETIMES (NOT ALWAYS) this can be caused by incorrect dosages of

medications or a clash between two or more medications. I know of two such

cases where this has happened, one was with my wife, . She didn't

actually get aggressive, but had severe paranoia and hallucinations (daytime

dreams). Once the Sinemet and Parlodel (bromocriptine) were adjusted, she

was ok again. But a friend of ours, whose mother was in advanced stages of

Alzheimers, got a call from the nursing home to say she had gone berserk and

had hit another resident with a chair and actually broke the chair. This

little old lady was 4ft nothing in her high heels, weighed next to nothing

and was the most docile person you could ever meet. It was discovered that

a major change had been made to her medications and when they addressed the

changes and made the appropriate adjustments, she settled down to being Mrs

Docile again.

My local pharmacist here in Melbourne is qualified to do medication reviews

and this is funded by the federal government. He has done such a review for

us. I would advise anyone whose partner becomes unusually aggressive to do

likewise. It may help.
