Question 1

one of the meds dad is offered is 1mg lorazapam twice day. if we hold to the dosage schedule, he is in a stupor constantly. not good! options?

Accepted Answer

Stop The Lorazepam: Your dad is ninety years old. This medication is the worst possible thing for him. The elderly often fall and break their hip and then could die from this complication. They are too groggy to realize how unsteady they are when they try to get up or walk.

I would recommend a visit back with the doctor or getting a new expert in geriatric medicine.

Question 2

how long does catatonic stupor last? and what do doctors do to help them during this?

Accepted Answer

It depends: How long catatonia lasts, depends on what is causing it.  In schizophrenia, sometimes low-dose IV Lorazepam can allow enough movement for the patient to eat. If it's actually rigidity from antipsychotic medications, countering with cogentin, artane, or Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help.  There are other possible causes besides schizophrenia as well, and these need to be addressed as needed.  Timing varies.

Question 7

how can i deal with feeling super low?

Accepted Answer

Are you low a lot?: Or are you just feeling blue right now?  One of the best antidotes i know for feeling this way -is  exercise (enough to get your heart pumping). When done in a green area like a beach, the woods or a field- it has been shown to have an even more powerful effect on mood. Additionally - don't isolate. Spend time with people who you can be open with as well as having fun with.  Do things you enjoy.

Question 8

i want a way to make cuts heal super fast?

Accepted Answer

Simple Care: The real question is what not to do that slows down healing. Avoid using alcohol, peroxide, hibiclens, betadine, and bleach solutions. Inflammation ( red, hot, swollen, tender) is important to healing  so anti-inflammatories (motrin, advil) are bad. Cover the area with a clean dressing changed every other day  and protected from trauma.  Antibiotics do not help healing unless it is truly infected.
