[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you! So the doctor didn’t want to do the antipsychotics (either typical or atypical) because they’re on the Beers list. But maybe he’s being too cautious. I read the side effects of these meds for dementia patients—-hastening decline or worsening CNS involvement leading to premature death—and while I get it, the suffering my parent is displaying seems awful.[/quote] I am the poster who initially suggested antipsychotics. It’s tough. My dad fell a lot, but we still tried an anti anxiety drug that can cause falls and it definitely improved quality of life and his interactions. Did the doctor recommend cbd? If not, what else is being suggested? I might try a second opinion with another person who works with this age group and dementia. I found doctors often disagreed with and contradicted eachother. Its tough. Keep us posted.[/quote]
