My husband is in the denial stage. He says he does not have LBD as he has no symptoms. He has been telling everyone that her was misdiagnosed by an “intern” at mayo clinic! He was at the dr yesterday for a long talk. Yes u have LBD, your zoloft is not. A mind altering drug. Yes you were in on the decision to take. Yes you were here oct 9 and was in on the decision to have a 50 mile radius driving restriction. He has courage kenny drive evaluation nov 8. He is very angry at anything such as you described freedoms away from him. Drive, financial. We have poa in place but a dr has to deem him unable to care for himself before it can be activated. . We are not at that place quite yet. It is coming I see now.
I appreciate your advice. I hope we r able to keep in check. I didnt know about a compulsive part of lewy. I am learning so much.

Has Zoloft done anything for him? If not, there are other antidepressants and other medications that are used "outside" of what they are intended to help with this kind of thing.
