diazepam induced "psychosis"
Posted: 01-27-08 16:20pm

hi!

We have a patient who suffers of following disorders after application of 27 mg diazepam in 2 days (approx 50/50):

-cannot keep things in mind (always forget nearly all, after a few minutes till a few hours)
-always headache and swindle
-always tired
-nearly no motivation
-loss of nearly all memory for a period of approx 2 years before the application of diazepam (forgot names, technical knowledge, general knowledge, social knowledge, language knowledge etc..)
-loss of mental speed, cannot combine things, cannot remember things etc.

=> is always "blocked" with regard to "higher" brain functions.

Please don't ask why the diazepam was applicated, we checked that and that's not the reason.

The patient was diagnosed with schizophrenia-form psychosis one year later after the diazepam application. He was applicated with nearly all atypical antipsychotics, but nothing helped it only got worse with this meds and patient had nearly all adverse effects, before the patient read the package insert, which the psychiatrist has never seen, too.
The more the patient took antipsychotics, the more the patient symptoms fit to a schizophrenia-form psychosis.
The patient was added a sexuall dysfunction with this antipsychotics. He still suffers from this sexual dysfunction after not taking antipsychotics for over 6 month. When he stopped taking antipsychotics the sexual dysfunction became a little bit better.

I am sorry for possible language and/or vocabulary mistakes, but English is not my first language.

I hope someone could gimme a hint what i have to do to cure this patient.


Thank you!

Unfortunately, we're not doctors! Can't really help you there.
