My 91 yo mother (dementia) has been talking nonstop to imaginary boyfriends...some names are familiar & known to me ...(& are deceased)...this can go on all night long...so I took her to her neurologist & he said just increase Seroquel before bed time...If she refuses & then I have to hide it in a chocolate or ice cream.
But I have to put in ear plugs, play radio to drown out talking & then she lets out a big loud hysterical laughter...I would think all this constant chatter would exhaust her, but it don’t. She was even doing it when we took her to dr the other day & he thought she was talking on the phone....it’s just when she starts, it’s NONSTOP!!! & extremely irritating & annoying...especially since she’s “talking “ to my Father’s former boss & plotting how they are going to kill me & referring to me as “the prostitute!” Last night I increased Seroquel one more before bed & she slept much better...& so did I! Anyone have this same problem? Thanks in advance!
There was one night she was flat out chewing out someone for something. No way was I going to interrupt that!
For some reason hearing her conversing with someone, especially those times when she seemed to be enjoying the conversation, was very comforting to me.
I'm glad you found something that will help the both of you get some sleep!
