Hypersexuality

bonkey

Its been a long time since I've posted, but his hypersexuality is much worse. He is not angry, or mean, or delusional, just talks about sex non stop. The only thing that makes me feel better is that I have caregivers who aren't nt phased by it, having seen it a million times. It makes me feel like I'm in a more normal world

I think my husband is doing the same thing…when we are watching tv he is constantly making vague sexual comments

I don't know what to say…people have had good luck with Seroquel and Respiradone, but they were terrible for my husband, he fell in the street, couldn't sit up, etc. After the first doses. I'm grateful he doesn't have worse behaviors

Please check with your doctor about trying Cimetadine. It is the generic for Tagament, and studies have shown that it helps elderly men with dementia who have hypersexuality. My PCP researched it and we tried it for my DH and it worked!!!! He is so much better, and there are none of the terrible side effects with Seroquel and Risperadone. I was doubtful that something so simple could help, but it has made such a difference for me and all the female caregivers around him. Good luck - hypersexuality was so hard for me, and it was such a relief to have that quieted down.

Im going to try it. What dosage, how many times a day?

Palmetto Peg

My husband takes 200 mg once a day. In the beginning he was taking 200 mg twice a day, but it has been reduced by half and still works. Good luck! It really changed things for me!
