The doctor put Bill on Seroquel about a month and a half ago due to severe anger issues - it seemed to just kick in this past week and what a difference it has made so far! They also doubled his Sertraline and changed it to morning. He had been taking Sertraline since 2014 so I don't think that made the noticeable difference. I had read that it sometimes takes the Seroquel a month or so to help.

Bill's behavior before it kicked it was so bad that I really didn't think I could keep us living with our daughter. It was one thing to have him cussing me out but to listen to him go after her was heartbreaking. Now he is loving. I only pray that it lasts. He was always hard to live with unless he got everything his way. But with his dementia it is no longer safe to give him 'his way', which helped to trigger the severe anger (aided by the dementia).

So thank heavens for the doctors adjusting his medications!
