My husband is on the same two Alzheimer’s medications you mentioned. He does see a geriatric psychiatrist, which has been very helpful. The first two years no medication was prescribed by the psychiatrist. Several months ago he prescribed an antidepressant to my always-mellow husband which has had a tremendous positive effect. Husband is a bit more outgoing and cheerful and a lot less agitated.

Eva, no direct experience with a psychiatrist. However, I did find a brief, interesting article on mood disorders on the Mayo Clinic website. If your husband’s symptoms match any of these disorders, then perhaps a psychiatrist can help.

I’ve been under psychologist are since before my AD diagnosis. I do telephonic appointments because I sometimes will flat refuse to go to an appointment. She works along with my neurologist. I’m not on antipsychotics. My psychiatrist helps me the most with symptoms and meds. Good luck.

My husbands pc put him on an antidepressant and it has really helped him

All of the above sounds so normal to me. Wearing clothes to bed. Showering. I try to get him in the shower once a week and try to used the foam cleaner. He is bowel and bladder incontinent. I just tell myself I had 2 kids and changed diapers so this is kind of the same. Some days get to me and I get real down. I’m fine for awhile and then I crash and want to run away. I can get out sometimes but I sometimes feel I’m in another world compared to everyone else.
