Why is my husband behaving strangely after taking haloperidol for Alzheimers?

My husband was diagnoised with alhemizers he started being mean so the doctor put him on haloperidol and was like a zombie.  He has been off of this drug for 2 weeks and now he won't hardly get out of bed and sleeps all day.  He has started now eating in the morning.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicSometime, in dementia, due to antipsychotic, patients develop side effects like dystonia, dyskinesia. Better to avoid antipsychotic in his case. Give him drugs like mementine or donapezil after neurologist consultation. In case, he has some behavior issue, then better to give quetiapine as an antipsychotic. First consult neurologist and discuss treatment plan.Thanks
