[quote=Anonymous]Why is the neurologist unwilling to up medications or add a new one? How many neurologists have you seen? Have you tried a psychiatrist? Is the concern due to seizure or fall risk? I would get another opinion on the meds. No place wants to deal with an abusive elder in our experience and you are better off adding meds or increasing dose. Ideally, you need someone with expertise in challenging elderly, but if you can't find that you need someone a little more open minded. The behaviors will just get worse so the person needs to be able to weight risks to her health vs. risk to the health of those who interact with her. Also, what meds is she on? Is there an anti-psychotic in the mix?[/quote]
