Have SIL (52) with cirrhosis among other illnesses on hospice now since the new year due to cirrhosis, she had a large hematoma taken care of dec 16. Since 3 weeks before the surgery until now she swings between extremely manic and up up up to comatose needing a diaper. On her up stages she is less herself each time sleeps less than 2 hrs at a time....becoming more childlike also. Has had episodes of psycosis of seeing people and animals who are not there. But with medication this seems to have gone away. Having to limit her from going outside and just to tell us if she's leaving her room seems mean but she can hurt herself if alone, she falls all the time. Does anyone have experience with cirrhosis? Is this how it is?
Rispodal as your probably already know is an anti-psychotic that is used to treat both schizophrenia and bipolar. Is she missing a dose here of there? I don't see where any of the possible side effects that I've looked up online apply. Have you contacted the doctor who gave her this medicine? They need to know about this.
I hope this works out. Let us know how it turns out.

Sounds to me like SIL has rapid cycling bipolar disorder with psychotic breaks with reality when in a very manic state which is true of some people with bipolar when manic.
What meds is she taking?
Is she on meds for bipolar disorder?
What other meds is she taking?
