On Aricept and Seroquel. He has been doing fine. I gave him one. He said he felt SO sad he didn't know what to do. He felt like something bad was going to happen or was happening. This scared me cause it was out of the blue. He was perfectly fine until 1:30pm. He looked so scared and miserable. He is napping now.. What just happened ???? It made me so sad to see him this way. He just looked tormented. As I said all week things were fine. Please help me understand. Thanks.
She stopped doing this as her dementia progressed. It could be that her meds prevent this or it's just a phase of dementia that she has gone through.
Ask hubby if he feels like he is "disappearing", I know that sounds weird, but some panic attacks will do that. It's hard to explain but a person going through that will know exactly what you mean. Most panic attacks will go away after 20 minutes or so.
Distraction helps. For me it was either channel surfing until I found something I liked on TV, or jumping feet first into a political debate forum.
