Has anyone ever been prescribed any of the following medications for psychotic dementia with HD? If so what were your results please:

prolixin
nuplazid
clozapine

Thanks

I'm sorry I don't know about any of those being used with HD. I will say that I've heard Risperidone is good for younger people and also Serequel (sp?). But I'm not a doctor and I could be wrong.

Shar,

None of those are listed in the Stanford HOPES master list for HD drugs.

The prolixin is similar to Haldol from what I hear - nuplazid is a new drug as of July 2016 which has had tremendous results in parkingson patients especially with behavorial problems - the clozapine is a drug which has had good results from what I hear for behavorial issues with
HD patients, however, it requires blood testing weekly and from the side effects I have read I feel it can potentially be a very dangerous drug
