Hi Robert: I am a psychiatric nurse and PWP. Zyrexa is a relatively new ant-psychotic medication, useful for hallucinations such as you describe. Given in low doses (2.5 to 5 mg.), it SHOULD BE fairly well-tolerated. As always, watch for any possible side-effects (any worsening in wife's symptoms/complaints, etc.) Good site for drug info is: http://www.rxlist.com/ Carole --- Robert Gately <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I am CG.
