Does anyone else feel this way. I haven't had a good night's sleep since she arrived. They could no longer care for her. She has dementia and long ago was diagnosed with paranoid schitzophrenia. The combination is driving me and my husband crazy.
Sleep deprivation is probably the biggest problem that hinders coping.
I've taken her to a Dr. for meds to help her sleep but the anti-psychotic that was perscribed kept her awake at night. I only tried it for 2 nights. The problem was I had just enrolled her in a day care program for 2 days a week, prepaid of course and was anxious to have her go because I needed some time to myself. I often feel that no matter what I do or what works for others just doesn't work for us. I'm very tired.
