in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

Ive talked about this before, he's tried Seroquel and Respirdone with terrible side effects at the lowest dose. He takes Buspirone and Prozac, he's happy, I drink more wine.

    bonkey I looked back at your previous posts. I am curious as to what the side effects were. There are other drugs, I would keep trying. You don't have to just submit to this. Have you consulted a geriatric psychiatrist?

    On Seroquel day 6, he fell in the street, and the next day fell out of bed. On Respirdone day 9 he literally could not sit up, or stand. He recently had Covid again and it sapped most of his strength so now is getting OT and PT. He is urine and bowel incontinent. So the talk is still annoying but I just shrug it off and tell him to be quiet, it's not the most important thing now
