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:
