Hello,
Olanzipine is known to cause Parkinsons disease like symptoms. but the dose you are taking is minimal. the main thing is to reassess the need for antipsychotics and are they realyy required. Secondly you can try Pacitane

Dear lybrate-user, it is possible that benzodiazepines do affect concentration. However give it a few days till your brain gets used to it. If you feel the difficulty in concentration is persistent or intolerable please contact your prescribing physician soon.

My mother, 62 years of age has been suffering from dementia and depression since 2016. She was prescribed dveniz, daxid for depression and admenta (bds), aricep (ods) for dementia since september, 2016. The disease has progressed albeit slowly. But there had been behavioral changes specially repetitive behaviour, frequent fits of aggression etc. Because of the increased aggressive tendencies, her doctor asked to stop antidepressants in january 2020. aggressive behavior dwindled down after that. However it increased a bit since december 2020. Due to unavailability of the previous psychiatrist we had to consult a separate psychiatrist in february, 2021. He started a new drug, olanzapine 2.5 (ods). My mother started taking the drug since february 10th. However she started getting quite drowsy from the middle of march. So we had to visit the doctor on march 26th. He asked to stop olanzapine 2.5 and continue with aricep and admenta. She was more or less fine till last tuesday, 6th april. But suddenly from 7th april there was a total change in everything. It's almost like she's spellbound! totally lost and not being able to do basic daily activities. It's almost like her brain has been switched off. She's walking slowly, not being able to eat/ drink on her own. And since yesterday she's having trouble using the toilet too. Not being able to pass urine or stools. Is this because of the drug olanzapine? If so, then can some other drug be used to negate these side effects of olanzapine?

It is sad to convey but symptoms you suggested are of disease progression and not because of side effects of on going medications.

Hi, I can understand your worries. I would suggest you to take some counseling sessions with a good psychotherapist. Join a meditation group and also join some positive group activities like sports or music. Basically you have to relax mentally and your body needs some exercise.

Hello
you are already on 80 mg fluoxetine. There is no need for buproprion. Sometimes excessoive dosage can lead to switch to mania. Better go for some relaxation exercises and activity scheduling. Thanks.

Hello,
I being a neurologist its difficult to comment on the problem you are facing. But my sincere advise will to get hold of a decent psychiatrist or a institute/medical college with a psychiatrist for proper treatment. You should not neglect it and these can be treated. At the moment you seem to be getting a cocktail of medicines and this needs to be relooked at for better treatment.
