[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 344544, member: 1514"] Go get 'em Terry! Who cares about the dependency problem with an 81 year old. Also, I was on ativan for 4 years...or maybe it was only 3...cant remember now and had no problem coming off of it. And Abilify is contra-indicated in dementia patients because it can cause what it is supposed to eliminate sometimes. There are other AP's that work better. Did the prescribing doctor forget to watch the TV commercial? LOL. Good lord, when the TV says it, I would think it would be something to consider strongly. The nerve block is a good idea. If it wasnt for her thin skin I would consider the duragesic patch but I dont think her skin could take the adhesive. You really need a long lasting pain medication but you have to work that out with which AD you take. Some SSRI's can interfere with some pain medications. Just learned that. [/QUOTE]
