Is Taking Nuedexta Safe For Lewy Body Symptoms ?
My husband was diagnosed with probably young onset alzheimers 5 years ago. In the last month he s had delusions, hallucinations, sleep talking, some screaming. He went to a memory care facility and then to a geriatric psych hospital. They re giving him Nuedexta. Is this OK if he has these Lewy Body symptoms? Can it help the delusions and hallucinations and sleep disorder or will it just stop his screaming?

Dear User,
Thanks for using healthcare Magic.
In my view there is no evidence that shows any benefit of Nuedexta in alzheimers disease. This drug has been studied in pseudobulbar Affect. The symptom you described does not indicate anything that occurs in pseudo bulbar affect.
Thanks
