Ok, check this out----i have a brother who is autistic. He is being seen by a nurse practitioner, he has Intermmitent Explosive disorder among OCD and other autistic charactoristics. He is on a ton of medications and i just wanted to get some opinions of what they you would work, this is ridiculous but here goes...he takes...
Thorazine: 50 mgs two times a day
Geodon: 80 mgs 4 times a day
Seroquel: 300 mgs tablets 3 times a day and two tablets at bedtime=1500 mgs!
Risperdal Shot: 37.5 mg every two weeks
Depakote ER: 2; 500 mgs tablets 3 times a day=3000 mgs! (i hear the max is 2500!
Xanax: 2 mgs tablets 4 times a day
Halcion: 0.25 mgs at bedtime
Tegretol XR : 300 mgs 3 times a dayhe has no seizure disorders, but he does have a hard time sleeping and has extreme OCD. All this nurse does is either lower or raise medication. I mentioned luvox or zoloft to her and instead prescribed geoden for his OCD.
He has already gained lots of weight on these meds. who has heard of being on 4 different antipsychotics? No antidepressants//can anyone give me any feedback or opinions?
