Reply #22: Ask for a list of ALL the meds he's on right now.

Then get on the web and do some research.

My SO's Dad went batshit crazy and got put in the locked mental ward in the hospital. Delusional, hallucinating, wandering the house at night, etc.

The problem? He had a bad reaction to a medicine (a treatment for Parkinsons called mirapex).

I found the rare side-effects (delusional, etc.) while researching all his meds online (he was on blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and other stuff). Anyway, we asked the docs to take him off the mirapex. Two days after they took him off, he was pretty much back to himself again.

They found another drug to help him with his Parkinson's.
