Has anyone had any dealings with Zopiclone?
My mum has been in a care home for almost a year. She has had Alzheimer's since 2014 or maybe earlier. My Dad looked after Mum with my help and then he suddenly became ill in July 2017 and four weeks later he died so a massive shock and Mum camento live with me. She never slept through the night, getting up sometimes as soon as I'd helped her into bed, getting dressed with coat shoes and handbag and sat in a chair, sometimes downstairs in the dark but she couldn't say way when I asked her. Eventually we made the heartbreaking decision that she needed professional round the clock care. Since she has been in the home she has very rarely slept in her bed, often she sleeps for a while in a recliner, because of this her oncebslim legs have become red, swollen and warm and she is now having steroid cream applied after a course of antibiotics didn't work. If this doesn't work does that mean mums legs may become ulcerated?
Today the gp increased mums dose of Zopiclone from 3.75 to 7.5. I am worried that she will either fall because the urge to walk is strong or be like a zombie during the day.
If you have any personal experience of a similar situation I'd be grateful to hear them and for any advise. Thank you
