Suggest Treatment For Sleeplessness While On Donepezil, Memantine And Trazodone
My husband takes donepezil and memantine. He has trouble sleeping. The doctor added trazodone. For the past three nights he has been awake and pacing more than usual. What should I do at this point? He suffers from Alzheimers (moderate to severe)

Hello,
Sleep pattern tends to be altered in Alzheimer’s disease patients. You can try drugs like zolpidem (Zolefresh) as it is effective and safe in similar conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
