Guest guest Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 My mother who has been diagnosed with LBD since Thanksgiving 2011 was recently placed on a low dose of serequiel, ti help her to sleep and with hallucinations. It did the exact opposite the hallucinations increased tremendously. Dr said we could stop the med, and that it seems her dementia is progressing faster then she would like to think it would wants her to see a neurologist sooner then may. Mom is currently taking the exelon patch and has had that doseage increased 3 times. We are at a loss for being able to locate good solid information regarding LBD symptoms and stages. Mom is 73 and we have seen drastic changes in memory and ability to do things. At times we feel all alone and doing search after search and coming up with mis-information. I have read that life expectancy is 6-8 yrs and was unsure if that was true? I know truly none of us know when its our time to be called home to Jesus. Any helpful comments etc.... are so very much welcomed and appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
