    Hello Floyd.  Seroquel initially in a very light dose but slowly increasing over the last 4+ years has been a life saver for my DW and I.  Rick

    I'm so happy for you.

    Sadly, seroquel didn't work for my DH. Does it matter which dementia, or is it basically per individual, whether a certain medication works or not?

    From my experiences dealing with this... It's kind of a crap shoot. I don't think they know enough to fully battle this disease. I mean, I asked her doctor for the Seroquel and with little discussion, she filled the prescription. Which is what I wanted, but shouldn't there have been more... I don't know. And I found out about the Seroquel here, not by any of her doctors. So, they probably have dozens of meds that we never hear about. Shouldn't they be making suggestions?
