My mom called me crying because my dad is wigging out. He is hallucinating, doing weird/strange things; putting forks in the toaster, bread in the washing machine, etc..
They just added new meds but my mom couldn't remember what was new. He's on sooo many.
I asked her for a list of his meds (his diangosis is BiPolar, Hepatitis C, heart disease, diabetes, degenerative disc disease, COPD).
They are headed to his doctor right now (but he has so dr's that aren't working together and each one gives him different meds).
He also has a morphine pump installed in his back.
Here is a list (does anyone know if these could be counteracting and freaking him out?):
****************************************
1) Zofran 4 mg's for nausea
2) Klonopin (2 mg's twice per day) My mom did say he ran out early and just got his refill in a few days ago.
3) Seroquel (100 mg's)
4) Neurontin 600 mg's ( 4 times per day)
5) Darvocet 100 twice as needed
6) Toporal Xl 50 mgs (1 tablet daily)
7) Lamictal 100 mg's
8) Plavix 75 mg's
9) Lexapro 20 mg's
10) Lasix 20 mg's daily
11) Lonoxin tab .125 mg
12) Mavik 2 mg
13) Shots of Lantis 100 units (twice per day)
14) Novolog 10 mlPersonally, just looking over this list, I'm surprised he's not dead by now. There are so many things here he's given by all his different specialists without ever checking what else he's on.
He's also been known to abuse his meds too so who knows if he took too much of something or added a little MJ on the side of this cocktail.
I could hear him in the background over the phone and he is totally out of touch with reality. He thought I was calling about the fish he caught (he hasn't left his house in a week and doesn't fish).
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm really worried about him. If anyone has any insight, please let me know.
