i've been on every drug available since 1985 hospital stays every year, but it wasn't until i was put on clanazapam that I started to both sleep better and not feel like i've got dementia. I was in accidents and sustained head injuries that is why i think I have dementia. if so or not that drug helped tremendously, i go to bed early and wake up earlier, as before that I slept all day and all night. I was a vegetable, as i was also told by my brothers and sisters years an years ago. i would be taken by ambulance to the hospital alot back in the late1980's, but no one seemed to quite understand. Nowadays there are many more different diagnoses and drugs that can be used, i know you'll probably don't want to be a guinea pig, I used to go around the ward going"oink". Well i guess i was sicker than i thought, as now i feel somewhat "Normal" but it took many, many drug trials and i do like what I'm on now. I'm also on 8 different other meds, one for hypothroidism- synthroid,and who knows you may have something more serious or even less serious than dementia.Well i hope you get the meds you need or just even a better diagnosis.avlady
