Patient is still experiencing psychosis to the same degree of what it was before hospital visit. Fifty mg of Seroquel has been taken at bedtime since being released from the hospital. Psychosis symptoms were noticeable on Thursday evening, 3 days following release from hospital. Patient also communicated feelings of depression Thursday evening. Psychosis / thought disorders were continous throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. Patient sees doctor May 7th for first consult after hospital release by Psychiatrist in same hospital system, once previously visited before the Keppra event. Patient has experienced headaches in the upper/back region of her skull. Auditory hallucinations have occurred since being home from the hospital.
Obervations are that the hospital medicines which were tested or tried are now worn off and Seroquel is the only medication being used at this point.

Hi, I have read a few of your posts, and wonder if the patient has had a brain MRI ruling out Chiari Malformation? the pain in the lower back of the head/neck is a classic symptom, as well as there can be psychiatric symptoms as well.
We've had 3 MRIs todate. The first was three years ago I think, the 2nd was a year ago, and the 3rd was about 2 weeks ago. That condition was not mentioned by the doctors reviewing the report and we haven't asked about it. Thanks for your remarks :)
