I am desparate to find help for my 41 year old brother who is suffering from PTSD and a BPD. His psychiatrist is currently prescribing Zyprexa (10 mg), Risperdal (2 mg/2X a day), Paxil (60 mg/1X a day), Gabapentin (250 mg in the am; 500 mg in the pm); Topamax (100 mg; 2X per day) and Xanax (50 mg am; 50 mg pm). He is constantly sedated and has terrible symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, swelling of the tongue, hallucinations, restless sleep etc. He has gained a LOT of weight and has elevated cholesterol requiring treatment with a statin. His appetite is insatiable (primarily carbs.). We have a family history of coronary disease and diabetes so this is very disturbing. My brother is now home-bound due to his meds and anxiety. The doc has never suggested cognitive-behavior therapy along with meds. My brother has gone from being a very successful professional to a zombie with these treatments. His problems began 8 years ago when he began having flash-backs associated with childhood trauma. What can the family do to help? Is he overmedicated or am I over-reacting.
