Back To Haloperidol

It’s Nadine’s birthday tomorrow and I’ve got no idea what will happen. I am told that she tried to organize something with her friend Annette during my absence and I wanted to ask her about her plans today. Unfortunately, this was impossible, because she is sleeping almost all the time since yesterday 9 p.m. She was awake for one hour when we had visitors but fell asleep again immediately after they left.

As I told you already, her state deteriorated last Wednesday and she went almost comatose. Most of her medication was cancelled then and on Friday and Saturday she became surprisingly better. But her hallucinations have returned too. It reminded me of her state from the end of November when she had to be treated with Haloperidol. A few drops at a small but constant rate each day did the job then.

Having this in mind, me and her homecaring nurse decided to put these antipsychotics which were called off on Wednesday too back on her menue. The backside of this substance is it’s sedating side-effect. I gave her five plus ten drops during the last two days and now she’s asleep for almost 22 hours. Her sleep is calm and quiet and her breathing is regular and sounds relaxed, so I’m not too worried. But I’ve got no idea how this will continue and how it will affect her birthday. We have to wait and see…
