My mom has dementia In the beginning she was hallucinating so dr put her on abilify and lexapro. It was 2mg of abilify and 10 of lexapro. I decided over the years to stop the abilify as it it dangerous. She seems to be doing better. Less agitated and can sleep at night with 7.5 of temazapan. It has tAken me quite a while to get her down to almost .5 mg while increasing her lexapro to 25 mg. she no longer has hallucinations which was the reason for putting her on it. Wondering what others are tKing. Thank you
She is on Risperdol 1mg 2x daily for anxiety.. We just increased from .50mg 2x daily.. Her constant rocking and pacing has stopped. Thank goodness..
She sleeps much better too.
