Try to be patient with finding the proper combination of medicines. A lot of folks think doctors can run diagnostics, figure out the right combination of meds, and quickly get a good result. The truth is that there is a lot of trial and error and necessary observation with medicine (and particularly so with mental illness). If you and your family think they are simply sedating him, maybe you (or your family that is local) can ask around and find a psychiatrist that has a better reputation.
In any case, hoping for the best for you and your family. I know it is really difficult to see our loved ones, particularly our parents, go through times like these.
