Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes, why if a person who is elderly and has dementia that a Dr. Would prescribe an antipsychotic drug to treat this person when all that I read says that these drugs should never be given to a patient with dementia even though they have a behavioral problem, why do you administer theses drugs that aren't approved by the FDA. There are all kinds od adverse reactions and none of them are good for these patients, from what I have seen they calm the behavior and back to the nursing home to die. This s where my husband is now. He is on depakote and geodon
