Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Meds

[SKCW]

Perhaps this is common knowledge, but for new folks like myself, did you know that a person having Dementia with Lewy Bodies, on the spectrum of Parkinson's disorders has to be really careful with medications? Over the counter meds like Benadryl and OTC's with PM on the label will have a much stronger effect. Antipsychotics and anesthesia can be really dangerous. Also, thought it weird that Levodopa may not work as well for DLBers. The mystery of it all continues...
