My mum has vascular dementia and her psychiatrist for the elderly has put her on mirtazapine 30mg and venlafaxine 150mg for depression and anxiety.
At the moment she thinks my dad is having an affair and its a total night mare we are still coming to terms with the dementia.
Is anyone else here caring for someone on these meds.She also had diazepam when needed but the doctor is now talking about putting her on antipsychotics which we are not sure about.
As a carer Im finding it all very hard at present and so is my dad who is now looking to retire to care for mum.
