my husband too was given seroquel, it did help. after a bit he would still think people were coming. I would tell him stories, the car broke down, change of plans for the imaginary people coming. Just rolled with it, somehow or other it worked. Calmed him down..same with money. told him I hid it so no one would steal it, tools, anything . Had it all taken care of, it gave him peace me too.

My husband gets upset and agitated with imaginary people. It has been an issue for us for 4 years. Initially, I tried to handle without medication, but almost 2 years ago our neurologist prescribed Seroquel also called Quetiapine. We started with a low dose of 25 mg and eventually over time increased to 100mg given in the afternoon and bedtime. This was a life saver for us, as I thought I wouldn’t be able to take care of him by myself unless we got a handle on the agitation. He still thinks there are imaginary people, but the medicine along with some behavior changes on my part of just being accepting and trying to distract have improved his agitation and sleep markedly. The drug has a black box label warning for use in the elderly that was scary for me, but my husband tolerated the drug well, and as I said for us it was the difference for my sanity and the ability for me to be able to take care of him by myself.

You might find Teepa Snow videos on YouTube really helpful. My mom is at a stage of more hallucinations and it can be hard on both of us. Teepa has good suggestions.

I agree with anything my husband says within reason. Live in their world and work around what they are seeing or hearing. You have to be creative to keep them calm . ( you can’t poor concrete if it’s snowing outside 😄 )

Teepa snow on youtube has helped understand alot about dementia and has helped me deal with alot of situations differently. Stay strong
