Thats
Yes it is working well for my husband, his main issues were anxiety and obsessive thoughts/behaviours, it has certainly resolved a lot of that. I know that Mirtazapine is supposed to increase appetite as a side effect, but I guess it depends if someone gets that side effect. The riseridone is more anti psychotic and slows everything down, which I think is why it causes weight gain
Thats good to hear.
My mum though simply defies me continually now, 4 hours to give her two medications in liquid form this morning, should have taken her antibiotics at 7am!
She closes her mouth tightly, holds some in her mouth, spits some out, there no way of knowing how much she has actually taken. Thankfully she is fine with the carers that come twice a day, I may ask for an extra afternoon call to help feed her because she is negative all of the time with me now whatever I do.
Sorry to say that part of me is now starting to hate her, I try so hard, do everything for her and yet she is making me ill! Its done deliberately too, she understands enough still to know that she wants to control me in any way she can to the bitter end. In fact a lady friend of mine has started to call her the black widow.
All very sad indeed.
