Syndopa Plus Tablet used for

My dad is 75 years old. Since last october, he is suffering from mental health issues. He started to get angry on frivolous matters, talking much on unnecessary things, imagine non-existent things (like someone has stolen his dress), etc. We therefore consulted a physiatrist for medical help. Initially, since there was not much improvement in my dad’s condition the doctor increased the dosage. But when my dad became too silent, the doctor started decreasing the dosage. As the medication continued for next 5 months, my dad started behaving in reverse order (talking very less, always sleeping, lost appetite for eating, walking very slowly, getting irritated with sounds). As his condition was same even after reducing the dosage 2-3 times, we consulted another physiatrist who was highly recommended by people know to us. However, things got worse and in the first day of medication itself my dad’s health worsened. He was not able to stand / walk properly and was completely drowsy. For the next few days, the doctor changed the medication several times. Currently, he has stopped medicines for mental health issues and has prescribed medicines for improving his physical health. However, my dad hasn’t recuperated properly and still not able to walk around freely, sometimes loosing balance when standing, sitting, climbing up steps and getting down from steps, seems lost in his thoughts and don’t communicate much with us. He also has difficulty in wearing his shirts (especially, putting buttons on). He also gets confused while choosing places to sit and ends up sitting on the edge / corners of the chair and sofa. He has also lost his appetite for eating. To sum up, before we started this medication, he was able to do his daily chores all by himself without our support. But now he is completely dependent on us. We are lost for reasons for this change of behavior and physical condition of my dad. Kindly let us know, if we are doing proper medication and any suggestion you have on treatment. Following are his present medications: •syndopa 275 (4 times a day every 4 hours) •selgin 5 mg (2 times a day) •syndopa cr (1 time in night) •complete td (1 time in night) •betonin syrup (5 ml for three times) he is also taking his regular medicine for blood pressure (arkamin 100 mg and amladoc 5 mg one time each) we are also worried about him taking excessive medicines at this old age. Please help us with your valuable guidance.

Hi dear understand your stress reg this. Your father may need help of more than one professional, visit a place where it is available where there is team work of psychologist, neurologist and psychiatrists may need regular monitoring of fluctuations, supportive counselling or psychotherapy and minimum medication depending on status if needed. Thank you and take care.

Hello sanjeeva I hear your concerns in this regard. I think you need to speak with your doctor or setup an online consult so that the medication regime can be streamlined after taking into account detailed medical history and past reports.

Hi Altaf There are lot other medicines in allopathy which can help as an adjuvant or can substitute syndopa. There are other options like DBS in case of resistant cases. it's in your best interest if you consult some good neurology centre or department of neurology in a medical college. Remember there are significant number of cases which are resistant to any intervention which are considered to be of poor prognosis, whose likelihood increases as the age advances.

You are lucky and brave who has learned so much as to write so much so well. This is not usual with the patients suffering from cerebral palsy. Practice of yoga and meditation will certainly help you. Kindly visit my channel drncgupta me and my yoga and yoga simplified. It may reduce the dose of muscle relaxants you are taking.
