Aggressive and violent outbursts"
Hello,I am new to this,but to-day I have read some very interesting facts about AD and had very good advice,on Aggressive and violent outbursts",unfortunately my wife who has AD for the last 4 years,has started them,in the past 5 weeks,I was prescribed Haloperidol for it,at a low dose of 0.5 millogram twice a day,the first morning she awoke it was a huge difference,and it was really working for her,no more getting up during the night and calming her down and getting back to sleep,then after about 10 days on it i started seeing her getting a bit zombie like in looks and actions,so I dropped the doze down too 0.25 mill..twice a day,but !! it was not helping at all,with violent outbursts" ,I have never seen this in her before,and she did not even know who I was or anyone in her immediate family,Daughter,Sons etc.. so it was stopped altogether.
I was then prescibed Amisulpride,and she has been taken this for the past 10 days but!! I do not have any change in her violent outbursts" .
I was looking on the threads to-day and I think I was on the correct course on Haloperidol,but was giving her too mutch of a doze,now i will be in touch with her GP and asking advice about the Haloperidol,but at a lower doze and only when required,will be in touch and post the outcome..and hope this helps someone in simlar situations..all the best to everyone in here,and thanks for your help..
