[QUOTE="My mother was temporarily prescribed a sleeping pill called Zopiclone which helped her get a restful sleep. The risk was when awoke and got up, she felt groggy and was more prone to falls. Luckily, we had a waking nightsitter who was there the instant she awoke so could assist her to the bathroom.
Keep asking questions here - between we've all be through ALL the scenarios so there are always options to try.

Hi Moog,
Thank you letting me know about the side affects of the Lorezapam. If it makes them groggy and slow it is not a good thing, as you mentioned that is not the way you want to see a love one..But as you mentioned it should only be used in case of an emergency.. As for the Zopiclone, that is one of the medications my MIL is on. She seems a bit groggy but not terribly.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I am learning a lot from other members and appreciate this forum.
