We took our mother off sleeping tablets(molipaxin and olanzapine) as they werent really working-she would often be up 30 plus hours, agitated, restless, never yawned during these moments.
We went back to a hot whiskey. She isnt as agitated or restless and yawns now and will tire herself out more quuickly, the longest she would wander now would be a couple hours.Shes more managable off them as understands us more and not as drugged looking. Shes not drowsy walking around and so less chance of a fall now.
Nights are becoming hard again though. She is back and forth to toilet alot or there will be times when she wont go back to bed.It takes a long time to settle and we find our days and nights are rolling in to one with no time for ourselves.
We were looking in to other options ,like a relaxer such as attivan or other sleep aids that arent anti psychotic or for moods etc
Any suggestions?
