in Caring for a Parent

hi there! Anyone have any experience when their alz pt starts a new med (rexulti) and then they being more confused? Is this based on the disease or based on the medication…. I know it’s really hard to say. But I’m hoping if I stop the med, that she’s not as confused.

    No one can say for sure, but it's certainly a possibility that it's the med. It could be the med, it could be a combination of meds, it could be a side effect that will lessen. It could be an unrelated issue - UTI. I recommend tracking the symptoms and taking notes. Speak with the doctor.
