Psychiatric and Neurology
Sir, My father aged 67 years had a confused behaviour, dementia with insomnia and also imagination of sounds, things which do not exist too in the April, 2014. Then he did not sleep for 5-6 days continuously. Then we consulted a local psychiatrist who prescribed Lorazepam 2 mg once daily at night with Quetiapine 50 mg twice daily. On the first dose of the medicines he had a very good sleep one night and in the morning he became completely normal..Then We continued the medicines with reduced doses for some days and then withdrawn. Now In March 2016 this year He again had the same symptoms together with insomnia. But this time I noticed that just before going to this abnormal condition He felt a very heavy Headache as said by him at that time and suddenly he shouted for the pain and went again to that bad condition. But this time he had a more severe memory loss. And this time too the same medicines were prescribed by the Doctor together with Clonazepam 0.25 mg.
