My LO has recently started taking Memantine. They have mixed vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s. I feel this medication is making them so confused. Has anyone else experienced this with their LO ?
Ok thanks for that . I will do as you suggested. Definitely less aggressive but at times not knowing I am who I am, their daughter and we have lived together for 19 years. Maybe it’s just the progression of the disease. They are 94 years old.You would be better telling the person who prescribed it about the effects. Mine has been on it 3 years 20mg at night and is definitely better, more relaxed. When do they take it? could take a bit of time to get use to it but everyone is difference I would check
that could just be the dementia progression. i would check it. if its a sudden symptom, could be an infection that can throw them off balanceOk thanks for that . I will do as you suggested.
