Hss your loved one been prescribed Seroquel for delusions?

I just weaned my wife off of the lowest dose of Seroquel. It's not only a drug used reluctantly for the elderly but it had no effect on my wife's hallucinations. She has been thinking there are two of me and from a few to several other people living with us upstairs. IF our caregiver recommends a newer med, we'll see.

@hughmcguire4 I too stopped the Seroquel. It didn’t help with my husband’s hallucinations either. He now takes Sertraline. It doesn’t stop the hallucinations either, but it does seem to help keep him calmer and more manageable.

@hughmcguire4 , I hope you find something helpful. My understanding was that the med helped with agitation. Not preventing hallucinations, but helping keep the mind calm so it’s not as upsetting. It helped my family members but everyone is different.
