in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

In addition to the donezpril and memantine, has anyone added any cbd products for sleep and or calming?

I would also like to recommend the digital publication " What About Me" that I found on

womanandwell.com for wives dealing with husbands with dementia, but would also pertain to husbands with wives living with dementia.

    I gave my husband CBD gummies. I asked the doctor and he said it was OK. You can search this forum for CBD and look at the old posts. The search thingy is at the top of the page.

    I also give my wife A CBD/THC gummy each afternoon to help her calm down. It works for us. They have different doses so I would start low and increase if needed.
