Good morning,
My husband has Alzheimer’s. He has recently started Memantine.
Since last Thur sday when we had a meeting with our financial advisor, my husband thinks the advisor has offered me a job, is having an affair with me, is embezzling his money. On Saturday he tried to phone the advisor to tell him what he thinks. We have known our advisor for 15 years, a friendly , professional man who up until now my husband has trusted. The message he left iwas very garbled, didn’t make any sense. He starts with these thoughts from the moment he wakes up to when he goes to sleep. He wants to take his money fromhis pension pot, find another financial advisor, thinks our sons are unsavoury characters, looking for what they can get.
I have tried reasoning with him, printing out his finances, I’ve shouted, I’ve cried and don’t know what I can do.
I have sent 2 emails and tried to phone ( no answer ) the memory clinic asking for advice,no success. Could the Memantine not be ‘ agreeing ‘ with him, he’s only being taking it for 4 weeks.
Any ideas, advice please
