What a nightmare. John seemed really happy, docile and pleasant, although very confused, when he came out of 2 weeks respite, probably due to the Trazadone that he has started taking. However it hasn't lasted.
Whilst in respite he pushed over another resident who was blocking his view of the TV. Last week he apparently got very angry with another client at the Day Centre which he attends and then yesterday, after a very difficult bedtime and early morning, he had a fight with the same client (who apparently is very difficult)
The CPN has told me to increase the dosage of the Trazadone to twice a day (50mg each time) whilst she talks to the consultant to see about giving him Memantine. ( She has got permission from the Trust to prescribe it to John). Does anyone else have this?
I am really worried that they will stop him going to the Day Centre - I don't think I would cope without those 3 days.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
