How can psychotic behaviour be managed?
human
My son is 42. He has mental illness and gets an injection of Haldol once a month. He went out and did a lot of meth as he has not slept in days. He has a history of meth use. Anyway, he is becoming psychotic , talking to self and people who are not there. He needs to sleep. He has Benztropine which I keep for him. Would one make him go to sleep??? I think he has been up for about 4 days

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Meth is a stimulant and causes insomnia. He needs to be detoxified. Once better make sure he joins some counselling sessions. Benztropine is prescribed for side effects which are caused due to Haldol. It will not aid in sleep. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
