My mom has had PD for 19 years or so...fell broke her hip last year and has been living in a board n care home for the last year. I have seen all the signs and symptoms everyone has posted except the extreme agitation my mom exhibits on a shedule of 4 times a day? At 10am, 1pm,4pm and 7pm she seems to have a 45minute tantrum with incoherent ramblings but in obvious frustration or agitation? It is very hard on the caregivers to keep her safe sometimes during these fits and for us to observe as family members? The obvious tie in is to meds but it doesn't seem wise to add more PD meds (she gets plenty now)? Has anyone tried other anti-agitation meds with any success?
advice please?
