Medical marijuana is better and safer. I know. My mom had dementia and only that helped her sundowners and gave us both quality of life till she passed away naturally.
This is the best and most informative presentation I have seen, as a caregiver 24/7 for my MIL with Dementia we have experienced first hand the side effects
Of some of these medications. Navigating through the pharmacology has been our biggest issue. This video should be in the handout when a loved one is diagnosed with Dementia. Thank you.
I couldn't agree more. All caregivers should listen and take note. My grandmother has Dementia and takes many medications due to Diabetes, cardiovascular and the list goes on. Some neurologists practicing do not take the time to review medication lists before prescribing the next med. For a geriatric patient, that should be the first thing to review. Thankfully, our pharmacist has caught these hiccups that have to do with interfering with blood pressure medications. Has anyone tried CBD oil with their loved one with Dementia? You hear about all the great things it can provide but have not read how it could interact with a Dementia patient. We're just SO over the pharmaceuticals and the numerous side effects they cause.
I absolutely agree! It should be!!!
Perfect!.. Thank you for this information it just solidifies my thoughts on Dementia and what to do for our loved ones!
I must be proactive and not let my depression get me down ,I must find help for my dad
Look into art therapy. I’m getting my cert and working with dementia patients and the results I’ve seen are jaw dropping
I’m an RN in a nursing home and this is very interesting and helpful. Also, my mom has dementia and she takes some of these medications.
Do they help her?
@@JesusSaves7012 yes. My mom has taken dementia medicine for 21 years and she still walks 4 miles a day with her caregiver. She also eats vegetarian food and vegetables.
Great Content Dr Sarah! Very informative for exam. Thank you
Could you send some info for anxiety and small veins in general. I have lost youth to over sedation. 17 years a sleep awake 5 hours a day.
Important information. But it would be important to analyse combinations of a mixture of drugs. It is unreal to assume that medications/chemicals isolate themselves and don't combine and form new, unknown 'meds'. We know some pharmaceuticals are dangerous together, but who has studied the potential impact of, say, a combination of 15-25 different meds?
So much good information. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much for your video, it helped a lot
Please tell me where to get the log that you mentioned. I JUST found your site and desperately need this help
Those drugs for Alzeimer (Aricept and Memantine) can be used for vascular dementia?
ANTICOLINERGIC ALL OF THESE with the exception of wellbutrin are dangerous, cause memory loss
And death. Antipsychotics killed my grandma and the fda specifically says not to prescribe antipsychotics to the elderly.
I love your power points
When they're already dying and have dementia, give them opioids and benzodiazepines. Make them comfortable. Make them euphoric. Ffs they're gonna die anyways, why prolong their misery?
I have good vision regularly on my mix not so much!!
What improves the elastics of veins.
Can b6 and 10mg melatonin at nite be used with trazadone drug fir sleep
What do you do if your veins are to small.
I am getting over PTSD right now.
My left atrium feels week .I'm 40 I need prevention. And a natural way to treat this. I do not know if geodon did not work. Respiridone dangerously constipate,for me. Ability suddenly started working for me. And lamictal. I found I have a egg protein allergy that made things awful 😭
Art therapy

What about vitamin E with vitamins like C
I'm very smart when I'm not emotionally hurt.
Can you send me the pdf
Valuim helps deal with stressful people for me.
I also had policythemia
what about Remeron?
Can you take CBD instead of aricept and namenda
Good lecture ❤
I'd like to know how you suggest getting dementia patients off of resperidone once they've been on it for almost a year. I've read that taking patients off of this drug is often worse than leaving them on it.
My mother's dr is considering a trial of risperdal for sleep. Why do you want to stop it?
Rene Hay Ask if she can try melatonin. It’s much safer.
@@renehay77 I don’t think I’ve met anyone who enjoys it... most people feel like they’re crawling out of their skin. Hope it helped your family
I have always had a high motabolism.
Delta 8 CBD gymmies work great for sleep & they're legal in all states. Melatonin10 mg.
My grandma was given Rivastigmine patch when she didn't even have dementia. Now her mind is all messed up.
Sadly, I think a lot of patients are prescribed meds that they don't need, and end up paying the consequences of it. Too many physicians have poor diagnostic skills and/or are too lazy, too uninformed, too busy, and/or have egos that lead them to assume and not appropriately, thoroughly assess.
With all due respect, are you talking about Alzeimer or all dementias? It is not clear. It's frustrating not to know.
Took it for the first time today...DISASTER...had within hours severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea ,,,,I am done with it. You don't mention this and the pharmacy did not nor did my doctor..
My daddy had a stroke in February of 2023 ,but he is losing memory, how would you help us?
What about cbd oil
I am depressed around eratic people
Psychotic meds hurt !!!
No pain no gain! Help me please, psychomeds hurt when you don’t take them.
I have to have three Omega threes to function well.
It's not so much the number of "pills" taken, but the dosages. Three of one dosage might be more than, equal to, or even less than another dosage.
So organ cleanses help.
Thanks a lot , Madame !!!
Respiridone messes with the pituitary wrong. Hormone rage.
Hello sir. my child has not been developing any kind of intelligence for long 17 years. Please if you can give advice to increase the level of intelligence of my child I will be grateful to you. Your page follower.. Thank you

Would u Ever use oxycodone for a patient with dementia?
no!
@@trinket2fine thank u. My mother was so heavily sedated when they moved her into
Memory care she never woke up in 3 days!! Then she passed. She was only 78. They Never even changed her clothing! And they lied to us when we called the first day because we couldn’t get there to see her. When we asked how she was they said “Oh she’s doing great! She’s in the dining room eating with everyone “! And then later they said she was in watching a movie with all the other patients. Meanwhile they blatantly lied as she Never even got out of her bed for three days! My sister went the next day and got into bed with her to hold her and let her know she was there. Her breathing was extremely labored. My sister called an ambulance and they came out and she had died before they got there. Plus the memory care facility told my sister NOT to call an ambulance! My sister did not listen but it was too late😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔😡
Atavan does nothing for me. I'm excited about being awake. I just need to acclimate to the news and weird scary movies.
Small amount of coffie
Never thought I’d see the day when I was thankful just to see my dad take a drink of water on his own 🥺😰😭😢😡,maybe I’ll grieve myself to death before dementia kills him praise be to God that Jesus is with me in this,in all this misery may God somehow get the glory out of it,I’d rip my soul out and die and go to hell just to save my dads soul from hell cause he’s not saved, but sadly it don’t work this way
