Hi,
My Granny has just calmed down a little bit from 2.5 hours of absolute panic; she has been trying to get out of the house; believing that she has left babies in the next door house and needs to tell her parents (she believes they also live next door but are away somewhere). She has been running from the front to the back door, looking for a key to open the door with and threatening me when I won't open the door for her (and staring out of the dining room window). She has also been begging me to phone her parents. After a lot of cajoling she has finally sat down with a cup of tea but is still asking me to phone her family. No amount of 'It's just your Alzheimer's disease', 'you live here' or 'your family will be here later' has worked.
I'm just wondering if anyone has been given a prescription of diazepam for moments like these?
