> I've never asked Babble for advice on a client, maybe I'm not supposed to. But this one lady troubles me. I'm there to help her with her hoarding. It doesn't help that her partner is a hoarder also. She sees a psychologist and a psychiatrist. She has dissociative disorder with well developed alters though I've only seen one I think. Her pdoc prescribes:
> Seroquel
> Geodon
> Alprazolam
> Topomax
> Wellbutrin
> Abilify
> Effexor
> I know many here benefit from polypharmacy but something tells me that this lady is over medicated. She usually doses off when I visit her or call (I know, I'm boring). She is lethargic and has poor concentration. Maybe I haven't given enough info, particularly dosages, but I was still wondering if anyone had an opinion on this cocktail. I wanted to check here before I call the doctor.
OMG, I can't believe a Psychiatrist would put someone on such a combination of drugs with potential for serious interactions. This raises a red flag.
