[quote=Anonymous]Help! My 88 year old mother is on eliquis because of strokes. She does not stay in bed at night and has fallen a few times. The doctor put her on Trazodone 25 mg for sleep. It keeps her in bed, but then she is groggy all day and does not want to do her walking and so on. Last night we skipped the meds, but someone had to sleep with her to make sure that she stayed in bed. She was great today, peppy and talkative. I would like to eliminate the Trazodone. I tried lower doses, but that doesn't work, she gets up. Has anyone tried special alarm signals for when she tries to get out of bed? I heard that the ones on the market stink. I am thinking about restraints, but I know that is taboo. She liked her level of alertness today. Not sure what to do. [/quote]
