   Help please! (Aging Issues board)

8th March 2008
Talk to her PCP about Risperdal. This medicine is used in nursing homes for exactly these behaviors. My grandmother was on it and it works wonders! I know it is tough and I feel for you. I cared for my grandmother for 2 years before she passed. We also had her on Lexapro for the depression. I highly recommend both medications. These lifesavers kept her from having to be placed in a nursing home and made it easier to care for her. God bless you it is not an easy undertaking. Also, you should look into having a caretaker/CNA come in every so often to help and take some pressure off you. :angel:
