My Mom is 85. sometimes she gets these shaking spells. she does not walk on her own. does anyone have any experience with this and what do you do? I gave her 0.125mg xanax and she was so tired, I had to put her to bed. I don't want to do this but the shaking can't be good for her.
good luck!!!

I have no experience with the shaking issue but I would think that she became tired with the Xanax. Even a little bit of that stuff can make someone sleepy. Not a bad thing, but you know if you take Xanax it will do that.
So the question is, have you and your mom been to a neurologist? He or she would be able to diagnose the shaking and give you the proper medicine for it. Finding a decent neuro doc will really help!
Let us know and keep writing about whatever troubles you. There are more caregivers who will respond to you and help.
