hi,
my mum came home from hospital last monday, and on the whole she seems fine, taking her medication ok, walking without aid, putting on her make-up
but for some reason after taking her afternoon meds, my father turns into a stranger, or rather an imposter, she knows this man looks like my dad but no amount of telling will persuade her it is.
she is getting really upset by it, crying and shaking, more or less having a panic attack, ive had to go up there everynight and throw my own dad out of his own house, before i can calm her down, then my dad has to go to my house, luckily its only down the road, and he phone's mum to say he's on his way home, he then arrives home and she's fine
my question is could it be the medication she's taking as it only seems to happen after she's taken it, or is it another symtom of her dementia,
any replies would be gratefully recieved as i can then show my poor dad he's not on his own, he really is quite upset that its him she dosent recognise and not somebody else!
cheers xx
