My mother has recently started having increased restlessness and agitation in the late afternoon/evenings. She will pace and can't focus on anything, and will obsess about where her boyfriend is and worry he is outside talking to someone else, etc. She will go back and forth out to the lobby looking for him. After particularly difficult evenings, she won't sleep well and will get up repeatedly during the night thinking it is daytime. (and it is hard to convince her to go back to bed)
Our caregiver company has suggested speaking to her doctor about possible medication for the evenings, to help to calm her down. I've been doing a bit of online research about this, but wanted to know if anyone else has found success with medications and what kind.
