Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
You just posted a story about your brother who was prescribed Seroquel and is 'confused' as a result. Now your son was 'given Seroquel when he was diagnosed with schozophrenia' and you say he got worse to the point where he could barely talk?
Are you looking for validation that Seroquel is a 'bad' drug?
Seroquel is Quetiapine which rebalances dopamine and serotonin to improve thinking, mood, and behavior. It is commonly prescribed to treat schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder with good results. It should be noted that many many schizophrenics refuse to take their medication, no matter what medication is prescribed, and wind up in much worse shape mentally than they were before the meds were prescribed. My best friend's son is one of them. If he would just take his medication, he'd be living a much fuller life as a result. My half brother is another who refuses to take any medication to help his schizophrenia, and his life is a total nightmare as a result. I would much rather see him try Seroquel than live as he does!
The purpose of medication is to HELP those of us with conditions that wreak havoc on our lives. Oftentimes, different medications have to be tried before the right one is found to treat a person for whatever condition they are suffering from. That doesn't make Seroquel a 'bad' drug, just not the proper one, perhaps, for your son at the time he may have taken it.
I personally take Seroquel for sleep. It works wonderfully and I can fall asleep and better yet, fall BACK to sleep when I wake during the night.
The dosage is very varied--I know it's used for many mental disorders, and of course, like any other psychotropic drug, not everyone reacts the same to it.
My daughter was on it and it made her so zombie-like she couldn't function.
You should be in close communication with the dr who prescribed this. It may not be the best med for your son.
