Sun downing

I’m curious when was he first diagnosed and from that time when did odd behavior start ???

My DH has recently started with this. It can start early to mid-afternoon. He started Trazodone a couple of weeks ago. I have it in the evening. He sleeps well and it takes the edge off. The sundowning and agitation persists and I am waiting in the Buspirone to arrive and use that for the agitation.

it seems to be common but with different degrees. Distraction is a good tool but sometimes you get trapped. The best advice given to me lately is to just walk away. The DH usually forgets in a few months minutes. Remember you do not have to put up with abuse of any kind. Mem seem to be worse than women.

Cate2024 My LO suffers from agitation late in the day also. I find that a small amount of CBD helps. It takes 20 min to a half hour to take effect, and then wears off in about 4 hours. It makes my stage 5 or 6 PPA husband able to calm down to a certain extent. Sometimes he's just as bad after it wears off, so I have a next dose ready. I make it worse when I stress, so I just find things I need to do while he is pacing or wadding up the bedding or emptying the refrigerator. Then, the next day when he catches up on his sleep, so do I. The waking from 2 to 4 am is the most painful. Sometimes he just talks in his sleep.

The agitation came along with falls, and in one of them he pulled a groin muscle. Now he cannot stand, so we have had to diaper him, and moved his bed to the living room and may get a hospital bed. This constant changing of the problem is part of what is so painful about this. Good luck to you. I just called a service to send a caregiver a few mornings a week, because my hands and arms are sore from trying to get him dressed and changed. He who weighs a lot more than me.
