Thank You So Much Its Great That This Is An

thank you so much its great that this is an option for people.. ok this is my scenerio. my grandmother just passed away in portugal and my mother has been there since august when she got sick and is now taking care of my grandfather because he is extrememly depressed and nervous. we are trying to get him to come back to the u.s but he cant even ride in a car without taking something so he doesnt get car sick i think dramamine is what they give him.. anyway the dr there put him on protiadene which is spelled in portuguese and i looked it up in the dictionary and its a antidepressant. it is 75mg he is taking. what is a comparative antidepresant spelled in english. we think he should try wellbutrin do you know the name in portuguese? another thing is that he needs a anxiety medication and i have been taking xanax for 3 years and switched to klonopin for the last 4 yrs. can you give me the name of in portuguese for xanax or something similar.. what is your opinion on what combination he should take? he is in excellent health. he just turned 90yrs old and still cultivates his own farm basically just potatoes and vegetables. him and his friend just hoed and bagged 100 50lb bags of potatoes the other day just to give you an idea about his physical health. now his mental is all there also but he has been crying alot and rambling about how my grandmother is sitting up there rotting away and it makes him sick.. the grave yard is less than 200 yards away so its constantly on his mind. and my aunt and uncles keep telling him he needs to come back to america that its not fair my mom is stuck there taking care of him. my grandfather feels very bad and knows the right thing is to come here but he just cant get passed the fact he has to travel to get here.
