A Blog for care givers to talk freely. Give and receive tips in caring for a loved one with dementia. My mother was diagnosed with moderate Alzheimer's 3 1/2 years ago. She is now suffering with severe Alzheimer's.

Medications
Last week mom's doctor tried her on a new antidepressant. Within 2 days she was more confused and got agitated very easy. So I called the doctors office. I wanted to stop the medication, they wanted urine (urinary track infections can increase confusion). They got their urine, I stopped the medication and 3 days later I had my calm and less confused mom back. Stay up on the medication given to your loved one. Plus, trust your gut when it comes to their care.
