My primary mentioned using Ablilify,but not much has been said about it being used in dementia patients.Anyone know anything?I have cut my Seroquel 25mg in half taking it twice a week,it's still too much.Makes me feel not quite like a zombie,lol.
While I'm still driving I refuse to take anything that will hamper my driving.

He's just a family practioner.That's why I have a Neurologist,lol.
They are using many meds.as crossover meds.for different diseases.I know it's for Bi-polar & schitzo.But so is most of the Antipsychotics.

Respirdal is a scary drug. My son now jerks at night because of this drug. If you can take anything else, do it!
