Hi all, Mother had a bad reaction to Olanzapine/Zyprexa - couldn't stop moving and getting up all night - when she finally had a few hours sleep her legs were still moving in her sleep. We stopped it. Then by chance I was staying there overnight and the CH gave it to her by accident. I finally figured this out at 2 am when she had been restless/sleepless again and I asked the nurse. The issue is, her anxiety has been somewhat improved each time a couple of days after - so I'm wondering if these side effects decrease - anyone else had this experience? We're wondering whether to trial it again - psychogeriatrician said we can but I certainly don't want to experience going through it again - someone else can sleep on the floor this time!
Also.... has anyone tried Trazodone? Any good or does it cause a lot of dizziness? Thanks.....
