My mother-inlaw (84) "Dementia & OCD" does not really take any medication but seldom I give her a panado for pain. She has now become violent & bangs on the tables. She speaks & argues to people that are not there, threatens to kill herself!!!
Papa3773, have Mom-in-law tested for an Urinary Tract Infection. Such an infection in someone her age can cause all types of symptoms such as becoming violent, etc. If her UTI test is positive, it can be treated with antibiotics.
Call her doctor, or take her to the ER or an urgent treatment unit, and tell them what you've told us. They will investigate possible causes and give her appropriate treatment.
