T:<medicine>/ <medicine>? <num> MG. WHAT TO DO? 	Q:Mom has Alzheimer's pretty much last stages but she walks around and is in fairly good physical health. Her sleep habits are so erratic that we never get a night's sleep. Went to the <professional_practitioner> today after <num> completely sleepless nights and he prescribed <medicine>. I checked this site and was scared by the results i saw posted. Can anyone tell me if this drug will help or does it make things worse. Need to know BEFORE she starts taking it. (just as an aside,  she is taking <medicine> too and used to have <medicine> to sleep but it made her more confused! 	A:<medicine> is not good for people with AD.  It can cause agitation, anxiety.  Do you have good relations with her <professional_practitioner>  If not get another <professional_practitioner>  you can talk to.  That <professional_practitioner>  should know beter(guess not).  It CAN make AD appear worst.  


A:DIDN'T HAVE TO USE IT YET. I'LL TRY TO GET ANOTHER MEDICAL OPINION. MY <professional_practitioner> CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (GO FIGURE) ANYWAY,  I HOPE I CAN HEAR FROM MORE OF YOU WHO MAY HAVE SOME SUCCESS STORIES ABOUT IT. THANKS.  


A:Not all <professional_practitioner> know about AD, but they should.  Medications for AD do work, but not in every person.  <medicine> has <medicine> in it another no, no for anyone with AD, or <medicine>, or other meds.  for incontinemce <medicine>, <medicine>, any of that type medication not the best, it canm make the person worse.  If your <professional_practitioner>.  insists on giving any of these med.  get a new <professional_practitioner>  


A:ALL RECOMMENDATIONS CONSIDERED!  ON HOW TO GET A NIGHT'S SLEEP. WHAT MEDS WILL WORK? <medicine>? <medicine>? <medicine>? <medicine>? WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL?


A:<medicine> is good.  It does work.  


A:is that a tranquillizer or what category of drug is that and what is the doseage?


A:<medicine> is an antidepressant.  mg.  range from <num> to <num> mg.  I was on <num>.  mg & it worked good for me.  I no longer take it, as I don't need it anymore.  I'm sleeping good now.  


A:I most heartedly agree with <name>.  I use to be the owner/administator of a retirement /rest home and for the AD patients <medicine>(<medicine>) was a huge no no It does make them even more confused. <medicine> would be my choice i was also on that for awhile and it worked for me <num>mg at bedtime . hope you get some help. like a <professional_practitioner> that understands AD better and what not to rx them (my opinion) Take Care AND God Bless


A:OPPS.  I like to drink strawberry Margaritas, also White Zinfandel with my meals when we go out.  My <professional_practitioner>  gave me the ok.  


A:she's taking <medicine> and doesn't get to sleep? Wow. I took that stuff for <num> nights and had to quit because I slept forever. My mom takes <medicine> and says it's the best stuff ever. I'm currently on <medicine> (my family has a lot of sleep issues. this is just my experience with them,  but I don't know about how they work with AD,  so maybe someone here can tell you that) and it works great. Snowy - thanks for the list of medications to stay away from. very helpful. :)


A:I have AD <name>, <medicine> is fine, but it's a antiphsychotic med.  <medicine> is an antidepressant. 


A:Be careful about <medicine>,  they gave it to my wife in the <institution>,  and it flipped her out. did the oposite of what it was supposed to. Hallucinations,  etc. <medicine> worked better. Hard to anticipate interactions with Alz meds and others. she is on basic alz meds as well as <medicine> at night. sometimes <medicine> during the day if she is anxious. Even <professional_practitioner> are not sure what to do for these patients.  


A:<medicine> has a <num>% ratio of making AD patients worse. Red this is from both medical training and personal experience
