now my mum is on Haldole - some phsycho med that has her hallucinating and throwing fits - I'm going down there now for a clean up on isle 5 ! what do I tell the doc and my mum ? her perplexities of multi-faceted medications has everyone perplexed- can you provide any guidance ?
Legend, just wanted to say I went through Haldole with my Dad last year...hallucinations galore...and not seemingly fun for him, (his generation, at least with the direction he choose, didn't seem to enjoy anything about psychedelic, perceived, "out-of-control" feelings...
. The one thing he asked me to do for him while he was being dosed, was to hold my hand over him (he couldn't even stand to be touched at this point of his treatment...). This seemed to help ground him, or possibly take some of the fear out of feeling out of control and alone...I am not sure, but it felt really wonderful to be able to do something for him that seemed to offer him some relief. Just relaying this in case it can work for you and your mother too....
Also when he was on large doses of oxycodon, I would hold onto the back of his neck, or sometimes his shoulder. This time it was mainly for my comfort as I started flying around the room when I would stand near him!!!...but as much as he could express, he seemed to like this as well...
We each have our own experience to live, my heart goes out to you as you navigate this time with your mom, sounds like you love her deeply.
Did you find a source for hemp oil? I found a video of how to make it, but the only place I found to purchase it was England and the shipping process was challenging...
sent with love,
