I just wanted to see if others have experienced this, please, and how they've dealt with it.
My mum has Alzheimers, but it's really only short term memory loss at the moment. She has taken to getting up every morning having her breakfast, but then going back to bed because she "doesn't know if i'm coming or going". She takes Memantine for the dementia. She'll then get up about lunchtime, get dressed and be pretty much her normal self with no recollection of feeling bad in the morning. The mental health nurse put her on sertraline as she thought it could be depression or anxiety, but she took them for 10 days and was much, much worse so they took her off. Has anyone else had similar experience, please?
