I don't feel comfortable giving these to my grandma because of the shaking and anger and other side effects. Hospitals don't seem to have any other treatment plans except sedation. My grandma can still do most things on her own but she wakes up early in the morning, saying she is getting religious messages and wants to write them down, it is hard to calm her when she gets like this. Has anyone had any success with melatonin or something more natural?
My mom is fine, no Alzheimer's, reads books, does puzzles...just back to her normal self....Hope this helps..
Beyond giving you the name of, what I believe is, a good choice for an anti-psychotic/anti-anxiety drug available, I agree with cirnraff. Dial down the dose to where GM is not tortured by her "symptoms" and hopefully also not showing new, traumatic signs of side effects. Sometimes, even if an Rx pill comes in a minimal milligram dosage, cutting it in half or quarters is better for the individual. Good luck!
