hi all its been a while since i posted things have been awful last 4 months mam was in assesment and now in home which hasnt been a nice experience to go through as many well know. to cut short mam is fighting this all the way she is in an emi residential unit but is running! up and down the corridoors, pulling down curtains, throwing things out windows, trying to climb out window, throwing tea up walls, bending the radiator covers off! swearing and many other things. At first she did not sleep but now she is on temazapan and this is helping, she is also on lorazapan through the day but doesnt seem to work for her agitation. I take her out every other day and fool myself into thinking hey shes not that bad really and then today i watched her trying to put the watering can on her foot as her shoe and it broke my heart. The consultant is coming out tomorrow to prescribe different drug and i would be interested to hear from anyone whos loved ones have experienced calming medication.
