I've gone cold turkey on Xanax without issue. Now, I may not be unconscious for 6-7 hours after laying down to sleep, but I feel as rested on 4 hours of sleep without them as I do with 6 hours of unconsciousness on Xanax. PS - I started with Dalmane (Flurazepam) back in my late 20s, and I have found nothing left me as side effect free. They have tried to replace it with Temazepam instead (the side effect list was identical) but they failed to do the job for me (30mg doses per night). I've also used Ambien and Ambien XR sucessfully but had some side effects. The side effects of 1--2mg of Xanax are tremendous. I wake feeling drunk and my balance is shot. Not going to use them anymore, you have helped me with your advice Dr, thank you. OH, is there an easy way to help an older person sleep? Give them an orgasm. That really helps. Keep up the good work doc!
Loved it❤thank you
I am so thankful for your advice as I am going to see my primary care Dr next week, and I am really sure that I do have the beginning or maybe close to middle stages of Dementia. I am 68 and have been having episodes for almost 1 year, I see my Dr. In 2 weeks. I thank God that I saw you on my phone, you gave me a lot of insight into Dementia. In this last year my brain has gone down as far as remembering almost anything. I do have times where it just takes a few minutes for it to come to me, I also have times when it's just NOT THERE. I did write down as much as I could , you were very informative and I THANK YOU for being someone who really CARES to enlighten people about this terrible subject. I don't understand why there are so MANY people getting this terrible thing . I don't remember ever hearing about Dementia until 10 maybe 15 years ago. May GOD be with us all. I truly thank you for sharing all of your information on this subject. Mitzi Lott
Information imperative for patients, for everyone, to be aware of. Thank you so much. ❤
Lithium and Lamictal? Thanks very much!
Chlesterol lowering meds like Statins too should be added to this list.
I address statins in the written article: betterhealthwhileaging.net/medications-to-avoid-if-worried-about-memory/
They are certainly prescribed more often than necessary, but they don't consistently slow the brain and worsen memory the way the medications in the video do. For this reason, geriatricians don't get amped up about statins.
They should be banned
@BetterHealthWhileAging My 92 year old aunt still played tennis -- until she was put on a statin. That was when her dementia started, and this fornerly astute woman was even taken for $150 thousand by a Publisher's Clearing House scammer. She died in a home, never gaining her cognition.
BIGTIME
It is very difficult to talk to your pcp about anything when they cut you off. Very frustrated with the whole system and I used to work in it.
So true. There are people working to improve the system but it's tough, as most of the current financial incentives work against what is better for patients.
Find a new doctor. Remember they work for you. I once asked a doctor why he refused to use the best tools in medicine to treat me and he asked what tools. YOUR EARS listen to me I've lived in this body for X amount of years and I'm telling you something is wrong, it's your job Doctor, to find out what it is. Honestly we went on to have a good patient/doctor relationship.
@@SuperCaliforniaBarbihope both of U R same....ex
I agree wholeheartedly! It’s extremely frustrating to go to doctors knowing they most likely have a preconceived notion of what’s wrong with you and as a result they blow you off and simply go down their own path. I have yet to find a physician who genuinely listens to you and treats accordingly. They act all nice and polite and pretend to be listening and hearing what you’re saying but in their mind they have their own preconceived story. I’m fed up with the whole process and for my own sanity I stay away - It just isn’t worth the frustration! I just recently had to experience seeing my doc for a medication issue and found out the hard way that he doesn’t have a clue how to prescribe for someone my age or else he totally missed what I was telling him - plus his note in MyChart was inaccurate and I had to go over what I had told him at my appointment. Please understand I’m not an overbearing, obnoxious patient. I know from being a nurse how that will shut a doctor down and your chances of them hearing you are even less (if that’s possible). ERs are even worse. Nope! I’m done and am avoiding the medical system as much as possible. I’ve searched for other doctors and 1) You can’t get in to see them for at least six months to a year, 2) the whole practice can no longer take new pts, 3) as a result of number 2 they have to refer you out of their system entirely. I’m done….
Say “no” to most meds. Use diet wherever possible.
All doctors should be as helpful as you!
TODAY THE DOCTORS & HOSPITALS BECAME CORPORATIONS - A TRUE FACT!
But they are not
Sadly, they aren't. Sadly, they aren't
Thank you for what you are doing. My husband is blind, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and dementia with Lewy body. I’ve had two back surgeries and have been taking care of him for a year by myself. I’ve also had 2 back surgeries and I’m 81. I wake up every morning around 4:30 or 5 am and go in my living room to pray and I can’t stop sobbing.. we’ve been together for 64 yrs and it’s like I’m grieving. I’m not getting near enough sleep. Take a tiny piece of Ativan the dr. Gave me yrs ago, but never increased it. Since I’ve watched this, I will surely stop it and take the less than 1/2 every other night and my dr also put me on Zoplicone for sleeping but it’s not working. How do I get sleep. I’m about to break with the pain in my back, but I have to keep going. You have a calming voice. Don’t stop with what you are doing. God bless you. God only can get me thro this nightmare. Thank you
the lord be with you and your husband as he is, all we have is him and our prayers, god bless friend
I add my prayers to the last reply. May the Lord cover, comfort, and strength both you and your husband
if you access youtube, if you listen to sleep meditation.
'unlock your life'
she has several for sleep, soothing and calms your breathing. sarah dresser has a lovely voice. completely free. hope this helps.
god bless.
Oh dear my heart is going for you...Have you tried herbal medications? I buy a herb called Scullcup in Herbal store, and make a tea 1 teasp for 1 cup of boiling water/ I start in the afternoon and take up to 3 cups. It definitely helps me. Pray for you...
Melatonin helps you sleep. The most common mistake in taking them is taking too small a dose. They are NOT a medicine, they are a supplement available at your local grocery store or health food store. I take two 3 mg tabs (6 mg total) an hour before bed. RE your work helping your husband: look into Home Health Care assistance through Department of Human Services. It is free to people on medicaid/medicare and disability which you surely qualify for. You will be able to interview several qualified people to make sure your personalities combine well and will be given a certain number of hours per week when this person comes to your home to assist you/clean your home/care for your husband as you require.
This is the absolute best video presentation I've ever seen. Dr. Kernison is articulate at the level of crystal clear. Thank you, Doctor Kernison. ❤
You are just wonderful! Thank you for your honesty and professionalism. I am a pharmacist’s daughter and granddaughter who practiced old fashion pharmacy. I followed my elderly family steps. Thank God I do not like nor need medication. I am seventy years old, swim everyday and take only natural infusions and supplements when needed.
Hello 👋
My grandfather is 83,5 years ago we started eating a whole food plant based diet,he has dropped almost all his medications including blood pressure,statin,and a life long antibiotic along with a few others,he is sharp as ever,the doctors strongly advised AGAINST this.but we decided as a family the risk of the meds far outweighed the gain the might have. Much love all,food is the true medicine,fruits vegetables herbs seeds and mushrooms!
EXCELLENT! Wonderful presentation - she has a very calming voice, and provides explanations and where to go for more info. I will be visiting her site often and share it with MANY friends who have family members with these problems. Thank you!
Excellent video n very helpful for all.
Helpful, thanks! 👍👍
I have shared this information with my 84 year old mother, her friends, and our octogenarian neighbors. My mother in law died 16 months ago from complications related to Alzheimers. Unknown to us, my mother in laws' geriatrician (who is a friend of our family) had advised her to add Tylenol PM (acetaminophen & diphenhydramine) to her evening medications because she was having difficulty falling asleep at night (following the passing of her husband). She took this over the counter medication every evening, for 14-16 months before she began having difficulties with problem solving, impulse control, and memory. This information is priceless; thank you for sharing.
Tylenol/acetaminophen twice daily is a great sleep aid that almost no one knows of. Careful with liver function. I’m someone who just doesn’t get tired at night without help and acetaminophen is all I need, but I have to take it twice daily.
Bacopa monnieri
TY for sharing this information
Thank you. 🙏 After listening to just a few of your videos has given me hope again. I am in my 70th year and terrified of the future. I am from the UK and our health care (NHS) is broken. Thank God for people like you who are able to share the much needed advice and information. Question; if you can find the time to produce these vital youtube videos, then why can’t G.P’s spend 10 minutes with us?
Also in UK, and you are so right, the NHS is broken. There is no longer proper healthcare in the UK. Getting to have a face to face with a GP is mostly impossible and when you do you're simple fobbed off with more pills. It's a disgrace.
FABULOUS NEWS
GOOD QUESTION!
Sadly, many older people want way more than 10 mins 😢
Talk plain your mic is terrible uts hard to hear you S L O W T A L K .😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢IS 😢😢
My 88 year mother used to fall at night. We figured it was Ambien and after discontinuing it, no more falls. Ambient should not be prescribed to seniors!
Thank you doctor. Great information. 💕
Great information I enjoyed this video very much
Ty, this is very informative.
Incredibly informative. I am an RN and found this video helpful for my husband and myself. Thank you Dr. Kernsian for sharing!
Thank for this video. It's very informative.
Thank you for your informative videos.
Excellent video presentation of a truth that most doctors have no guts to denounce. Dr. Leslie Kernisan, you are not only a caring doctor but a clear teacher too. Many of us have observed the pernicious effects of drugs in the brains of elderly people and the "resistance" of doctors of which you spoke. It is very sad to observe that and not be listened. This presentation sould be heard by ALL doctors and not only by geriatricians, geriatric patients and their families.
What about statins? A doctor told me that the side effect of statins is memory loss!!!!!!!! Needless to say I refused them. What's the point of having perfect cholesterol if you can't remember your name? 😮
Thanks so much for a great video. I am a psychologist and my wife is an MD and ND who has shifted her practice away from pharmaceuticals and toward behavioral approaches. I am now 81 and in good health.
Great information, thankyou for all your effort to inform.
Thanks Dr kernisan for such important conference GBY
I'm surprised you didn't mention Statin drugs, they are the worst for memory problems
Thank you so much. The more educated we ae the better. We must often be our own advocate. I have been there for my parents and grandparents, and I do not have a daughter and the sons will often find this kind of things harder, so as I am getting older myself, I realize I better keep up some on this!
Thank you so much for doing these informative videos.
Thankyou DR. great video, for sleep, l take daily 2-capsules 350-400 Magnesium Glycinate
l tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar( with the Mother)in 8-ozs of Water. Always after meals. I sleep like a log thanks to my English Dr. Im 79 -yrs old.🇬🇧
This is a wonderful presentation.
Please keep making these videos.
Explains very clearly!! Will try to listen to all learning a lot😊
You are clearly an extremely caring, intelligent, patient, focused, and beautiful!!!! doctor! Thanks for all this is information! The risks of a medication are very infrequently outlined by a doctor in my experience. Thanks for being awesome!
Terrific, clear presentation that actually provides useful information and DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A SALES PITCH!
You opened my eyes ! I am 67 ! Thank you so much !
DR KERNISAN: Thank you, thank you, and thank you! I simply can’t tell you how listening to this video has taught me, and also gave great advice how to communicate with my Dr my concern about taking one of the drugs she prescribed a few years ago, and an alternative to this particular medication. I have been concerned about my declining memory loss and thought it was a part of ‘getting old’.
Then by happen chance I stumbled on this video. I now have hope, because of you sharing your medical knowledge about drugs one might be taking and the possible risk/side effects on our memory decline. God Bless you.
A grateful new subscriber from Missouri.
well i have been taking benzos for 30 years and my memory is bad and getting worse. thank you for the info
thank you doctor ...you help to know better ..👍💔
In Canada, many pharmacists are far more accessible and helpful than doctors. Definitely worth starting with your pharmacist before approaching your doctor!!
great information
Thank you for being so transparent! YOU ARE A HERO!

I've found that the meditative, soothing music that RUclips offers is very calming and helps me relax and sleep . I'm 77 years old, female, and have had problems with balance. The music I prefer is flute, violin, harp and piano, sometimes mixed with rainfall sounds. Recently I discovered a video of our beautiful earth taken from the space station and accompanied by soothing music. It continues for 11 hours so you can fall asleep to it.
Yes, a soothing audio can be a great option to help with sleep. Some people like a hypnosis audio (so a voice making suggestions) combined with soothing music. Others like natural sounds like rainfall or waves. Thanks for sharing what is working for you.
Thank you for sharing this
This is fantastic information. I’m looking at through the lens of a daughter dealing with my dad’s dementia.
Excellent information, blessings❤❤
Very informative and helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you v much! Very informative and educational 🙏🙏
Extremely helpful. My spouse overreacted when told they suspected Lewy Body Dementia and killed himself the next day. He was on so many of these medications.
I feel for you, that's so shocking. I think it's criminal how these meds are dished out so eagerly when their harms are known but not communicated. although I understand the doctors don't get trained in what these drugs do to the body, only which ones to give for which ailments. sorry for your needless loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss.😢
I like this kind of information. Thank you doc.
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
Thank you Doctor ❤
Thank you. Well done.
Thankyou for this!
Thank you for this clear presentation. I think most of us wish we had a doctor just like you!
Thank you Dr. Kernisan! This video is well worth the watch!
This was very helpful. Thank you
Thank you 👍🙂
Adding a statin eroded my memory and capacity for sweet dreams. Talked to more and more friends and relations who found statins not good. Turns out I don't have a statin deficiency after all. Thanks for the clarity on sleep and shrink meds, Doctor Kernisan!
I took a low dose of a statin just once and immediately felt awful. I could not wait for it to wear off.
As for Bezos, they are tranquilizers, Of course they affect memory, at least while they are in the system.
On TBN over 20 years ago an MD provided scientific proof that they were made like pesticides. He called them pesticides! I refused to take them dropped fatty types of foods, looked at labels to see how much cholesterol is foods n ate more oats less red meat,forced myself to ride my stationery bike. But did go to a great cardiologist to get my heart checked properly❗
Thank you so much for educating us through these videos and for your website.
Haldol should definitely be outlawed. I saw what it did to my mother.
It's one of the most powerful of the anti-psychotics. Antipychychicks should be used only when really needed. But folks who work in mental institutions liked Haldol because it can be put into the food of medication resistant patients and the taste is relatively easy to conceal.
Killed my sister at 75.@adrienneelliott7961 (Haldol)
Informative
Thanks very much for bringing light to taking prescription drugs!
Great presentation! Thank you!❤
Hello from Newzealand, you are very helpful and explain everything so people can understand.
Glad you think so!
Just found these short post in “Better help for ageing! Thank you for sharing ! Very helpful!
I find that if I'm having issues with sleeping, I will have a warm cup of green tea mixed with jasmine. The scent is beautiful~~the jasmine flowers are gorgeous and even though green tea is caffeinated, I have no problem drifting to a peaceful sleep. I found out the hard way that jasmine is relaxing. My friend sent me a box and I had a cup before going to work for a closing shift. I had a heck of a time staying awake until midnight! 😆 Having night time rituals do assist in letting the brain know that the body is supposed to relax now. That got me tbrough my senior year of college.
Thanks to this Dr, I will be letting go of two medications that I currently have on hand. I'll be discussing others with my PCP this week.
An honest to goodness Doctor❤❤❤
Great great doctor! Thank you!❤
Thank you very helpful I’ am 73 years old need those information provided.
Dr. Kernisan, thank you so much for this very informative video. I do believe you saved my brain.
Terrific information that I hope will be able to be utilized. Due to many factors, however, I believe many of these cases will be an uphill battle to really provide an optimal alternative.
As you note, the attending physician only has a certain amount of resources, and, quite frankly, it depends on the often vulnerable, aging patient either taking charge of his or her care, or having a family or friend or other champion who will look out for their interests. Sad but all too true, especially in the case of a mental health patient. Thank you for your voice, though!
I think very useful to watch this!
This s a wonderful video. We all age and it's important we learn these things to be able to advocate for ourselves and loved ones.
Thanks for your great information 🙏 have been taking Zolpidem for over 20 years ! Recently noticed memory lose, confusion, lack of concentration,, even forgetting to speak & write in english 😅😂 Listening & thanking your next door neighbor from Mexico cty 🇲🇽😘💞 (how can I slow down or stop taking Zolpidem,after so many years ! 😮😢;)
Excellent Doctor❤
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the very informative video. What about mirtazapine, I have been takeing for 6 months and haveing memory issues?
You are great to explain everything about different drugs. Easy to understand!
This is the first time for me to watch your program & I will watch them all!
I spend few hours daily to watch all the different videos from other sources to learn about my problems & the medication I’m taking and what’s the best things to do for my health!
Thanks so much for your informative videos.
Oh thank you! Glad to read this.
So so very informative
THANK YOU.
A wonderful lecture. Thank you. Please pass this on to nursing homes. They could use this information....for sure!
Thank you for your kindness I’ve learned from you a lot blessings to you..!
❤Great information.
great info
Joy & Happiness gives energy, clarity, cognition.. prescribe meds that give low level dopamine release
Why no mention of statins, which numerous studies have correlated with dementia?
This doctor is awesome 👍🏼
Thank you.
My mom's best friend took benedryl for years for sleep and quickly developed horrible dementia in her older years, and she wasn't even that old when she died from her brain deteriorating. (about 70 years old)
Thank you Dr Kernisan for your educational video and I quite agree with the side effects of the antipsychotic medication and the benzodiazepine. Every doctor should evaluate the benefits and harms of medical treatment before prescribing any medication. You talk about "trying the other things" and could you please specify what other alternative things are available or other alternative medications, for example in an acute situation where the patient is agitated or expressing suicidal thoughts.
Low vitamin B12 mimics Dementia. Taking this vitamin every day is essential.
TY 👍
My php definitely glossed over my balance and insomnia for issues.
Thank you for avoiding Ambien- this drug should be outlawed! It’s potential dangers far outweigh any “benefits”. Great video thank you!!!!
Totally agree.
Wrong! AMBIEN HELPED ME SLEEP SINCE MENOPAUSE. I NEVER GOT A REACTION & I'M AS SMART TODAY AS I WAS IN MY 40'S. EVERYONE KNOWS THERE OWN BODY. MY MOTHER LIVED UNTIL SHE WAS 99. SHE HAD A BACK OPERATION WITH WITH SCREWS IN HER BACK. SHE TOOK PERCOCET UNTIL THE DAY SHE DIED. SHE WAS AS SMART AS A WHIP, NEVER WET HER PANTS & DIED PEACEFULLY IN HER SLEEP THANK GOD. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS SHOVING MEDICINES DOWN THERE THROAT. I WAS A LONG DISTANCE RUNNER FOR 39 YEARS & A PART TIME AROBICS TEACHER THREE TIMES A WEEL ALONG WITH MY FULL TIME JOB. THAT'S WITH TAKING AMBIEN. IT NEVER DID ANYTHING TO MY BODY. THR PROBLEM IS THEY STARTED TAKING THE MEDICINES AWAY FROM THE ELDERLY. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY WERE OVERDOSING BUT FACT, IT WAS THE YOUNGER THE PEOPLE WHO WERE OVERDOSING; A FACT!!!. THE REASON FOR TAKING AWAY THEIR MEDICINE WAS ALL OF THE HOSPITALS WERE CLOSING BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE NEVER ENTER A HOSPITAL & ELDERLY DIDN'T NEED THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THEIR "RIGHT" MEDICINES. NOW THEY HAVE THEY HAVE THE BIG HOSPITALS TAKING OVER THE SMALLER HOSPITALS. THE HEALTHCARE TODAY BECAME A CORPORATION - A TRUE FACT!!! I'M 76 & DON'T TAKE MORE THAN TWO MEDICINES!!!
So should seizure medicine in people who don't have seizures aka Depakote and Topimax etc. They literally can cause a person who never had a seizure to develop seizure disorder and grand Mal seizures. Especially when they go off of it. They can also cause aplastic anemia [ translation: the person needs blood transfusions the rest of their life] . Off label seizure medicine is a profit making cash cow for big pharmaceutical companies and kick back for providers in Healthcare. Do your own research people. White coats are not God. They are beaurocrats . Most solutions here are Don't take this rx but these instead. How about treatment of the root cause before it even gets out the gate?AKA prevention wellness medicine?
At times rx is needed just do your own research. Our bodies are made by the divine creator. If we take care of them ,get proper nutrition with essential nutrients and trace minerals non smoking organic foods and stay hydrated with pure water [ distilled] but trace mineral replacement is necessary for every person with our food supply and soil having been destroyed by GMO seed, and pesticides. There is low nutrition content in most food. Try to never eat packaged foods. That is a disaster coming down the tracks. Avoid fast foods and factory food. Move, pray ,stay hydrated and think on good things lovely things. Perhaps get a naturopath to gain natural alternatives to big pharmaceutical sources that rarely treat the root cause of GG anything. We need surgeons and nurses and yes. Some things are just not avoidable. People do get illness. Do you own research. Try acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, natural health remedies under supervision of a naturopath that can collaborate with your M.D. Exercise even walking 20 minutes per day . GGet in the secret place with your creator daily and remember we are wonderfully and made by the creator of the heaven and earth. Seek God. Spiritual relationships with our creator are essential. Miracles do still happen. Stay positive. This l8fe is but a wispmof wind here on earth. If a person has their spine in line all the nerves and cranial nerves allow the nerve conduction to supply the energy electricitcal synapses to fire properly to all areas of the body. Ask Einstein. Research his quotes about it.
Do your own research. Blind faith in the sick care broken system in the USA is making people sicker not healthier in most situations. Asking people who are 100 years old in great health what is your secret? Most say " stay away from Dr's." No joke. That can be a ignorant statement; however, there 8s a lot of truth to it as well. Take care of your car put oil in the engine and get tune ups, change the tires, lt lasts longer and runs well Spark plugs are like a chiropractic adjustment. Ponder that for a while ❤. Blessings to all . People have been soon brain washed. Television is plagued with pharmaceutical advisement non stop. Insanity. All for profit Most times the side effects are the very thing they are saying they fix.
GOD BLESS YOU ...YOUR MINISTRY ❤ ❤ ❤
Very interesting, Dr. I am 68 and the only Medication I take is Lipitor for high cholesterol. I walk 2 /12 to 3 miles a day. I never have had thinking or memory issues, until they put me on cholesterol meds. I could tell my memory was getting affected so I cut the pills from 20mg to 10 mg. All is much better, sometimes a moment of slow thinking, but not often.
Very informative
Please don’t spend time worrying about this as it will give you the symptoms you don’t want. Make sure that you have someone you can trust on your side to attend any medical appointments to take notes and be another listening ear. This is not because you have anything to worry about it is just the common sense thing to do. Don’t rush any decisions take time and make sure you are okay with decisions made. Take ownership of any medication you are prescribed and remember the trusted friend/relative.

Very good info!
