My mother, who has had Parkinson?s disease for nine years, is experiencing worse hallucinations, bad dreams, trouble sleeping at night, and confused talking during the day since starting Qutan 25; should we stop this medicine or increase the dose?
Qutan contains quetiapine, which is often prescribed to help with hallucinations in Parkinson's disease. However, since she is experiencing increased confusion, nightmares, and sleep issues, it is very important not to stop this medication abruptly or increase the dose on your own. Sudden changes can make her symptoms worse. Please contact her neurologist or doctor immediately to discuss these side effects. They can safely guide you on how to adjust or taper the medication and find a safer alternative to help her feel more comfortable.
