Any opinions on the best/safest AP for the elderly?
My mom is disoriented and delusional after a recent hospitalization. I had hoped that she would become more clear and oriented after she got back home, but she is still confused, hostile, paranoid, and has delusions.
The hospital had put her on risperdone 0.25mg but it was discontinued at my request with the idea that if she did not get better after coming home we would re-visit the idea of APs.
I remember hearing something about Seroqual being especially helpful in elderly people - any ideas on other APs?
