Frustration!
Hi Sharon
My Dad is on amisulpride for the aggression. He has improved so much since being in the aricept. His conversation levels have increased. We think the chest infection he had could have caused the psycotic episode in the hospital. He has not even mentioned that since being moved to this unit. Its just so frustrating that we can't even speak to a Dr. I feel they will not get a true assessment of his behaviour in there because there is no stimulation what so ever. He is bored and is getting increasingly frustrated being in there. I'm not even sure if his own GP can go and see him in there for a chat so he can advise us. I just think its crazy that we have to wait another week to see his consultant. We keep telling the staff he is becoming fed up in there. We have told them how active he usually is but they are not interested.Its frustrating for all of us. We have also mentioned that we think he needs a hearing test as it would help if he could hear what we are saying all of the time. They have not said if they will be following this up.
