Alzheimer S, Issues With Agitation, Combative. Any Drug That Could Be Used To Get Him Out Of Bed In Morning?
My husband has had Alzheimer's disease for about 7 yrs. He is in Memory care and we have some issues
with agitation and he gets combative. He is on Xanax 4 times a day but is worse when they try to get him out of bed.
Is there a drug they could use before they attempt to get him up in the morning??? Would there be something they
could give via patch.
