My father is 68 years old. We have noticed that he shows some erratic behaviour, irrelevant talking for few moments again he comes to the original behavoiur during a day. We have consulted with neurologist and he advised to perform few blood test. Accordingly it was done and found high blood sugar. But now sugar is under controlled and he is taking four tablets regularly i.e Zefretol 400mg, Lobazam 10 mg, Chetafin, Benfomet. Now problem is that he is very much week, sleepy, drowsiness. Is it due to taking of Zefretol 400mg and Lobazam 10 mg or some other reason. I will be very very grateful if you answered me

Hi Dr Bijoy, Thanks for using healthcare magic. I have gone through your available history. What your father has is delirium. The cause of delirium has to be find out. the causes include electrolyte imbalance, neurological problem or alcohol withdrawal if any. Both Zefretol as well as lobazam is responsible for weakness, sleepiness and Drowsiness. You should consult good physician/neurologist for detailed evaluation and treatment. thanks
