Hi Pammie

Instead of Stages like Alzheimers, LBD has Phases, because not everyone follows

the same stage. Symptoms may appear anywhere from early to late phase of LBD.

Here are the LBD Phases:

Re: - Klonopin/Psychostimulants

Getting caught up on e-mails.....sigh...... I need TWO of me. Anyone have

any good connections on how to clone?? LOL!

First, as always, thanks for all the links and advice. Although I don't have

time to read all of the link info now I hope to be able to soon.

My biggest concern right now is that mother is definitely getting

worse.....becoming more confused, as well as depressed. Is it because I am

weaning her

off of the Risperdal or is she slipping into the next stage of Lewyville???

And what ARE the stages? Did someone send me the link again? I have not

gotten through all of the e-mails so maybe it is there. I have no idea what

stage

she is in.

She is not sleeping well at night AT ALL. It's about to kill my poor dad. He

is getting grumpy and she is, too. Although her " grumpy " really isn't that

bad at all compared to some of what I have read here with other LBD LO's.

I have about another 6 weeks before she will be off of the Risperdale and

hopefully we can make it until then.....sigh........

In the meantime, is Melantonin the only thing over the counter that we can

have her try as a sleep aid? And should I wait to ask the Doc to put her on the

Klonopin until AFTER the Risperdal is out of her system??? HELP!
