Update: Mood swings and anger issues

I want to think everyone who responded to my last post. That night I got a call from hospice to discuss my wife’s condition. I mentioned her anger and was told that the memory care staff had Lorazepam on hand that they could give her with my permission. I said that was alright with me and was told it would be passed on. On two days since then I’ve been told that it had been given to her that morning. I didn’t ask the results, but by the time I got there they must have worn off. I don’t know what the next step is from here so I’ll just wait and see.

    they may have to adjust the dose or try other meds. Sometimes it takes awhile. Glad they are helping her. Let them know her behavior because they don’t see her all the time. Keep talking to hospice.
