Amitriptyline & dementia

Morning 🌼 I have just had a note put on my notes for Amitriptyline saying use should be at lowest does due to the risk of dementia. It said something about the anticholinergic burden scale. I'm really scared. Is anyone else aware of this? Thank you!

For worriers about anti-coagulants

In addition, direct-acting OAC (DOAC) use was associated with a lower incidence of dementia compared with no use of OACs or with use of warfarin; no significant difference in dementia incidence was observed between warfarin users and OAC nonusers " So this seems like quite a good reason to take them.

Off topic but quite scary, I think

I have also read that dementia can only be confirmed after death when they inspect the brain for confirmation. Some people might be taking unnecessary medications especially if if they're a bit absentminded. GPs to be paid ÂŁ55 for each dementia diagnosis. Who is providing the monies?

Dementia meds and levo

At the dementia clinic they told her to take all 3 with breakfast, obviously this is wrong, but could this be why she’s feeling sick. Thank you

Dementia progression

The BI has led to vascular dementia, Recently, the dementia has started to worsen and we have had to move her into a Care Home for her safety and our peace of mind. She seemed to settle in well and was being well cared for.

The results of the Phase 2 trial: Mevidalen improves motor symptoms

The drug increases affinity of the D1 receptor for dopamine, and is thought to improve dementia symptoms by amplifying the effect of endogenous dopamine. LY3154207 is being developed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies.

Vascular dementia related to hypothyroidism.

I also suffer with severe anxiety and major depression and wonder how much that's affecting my memory,I'm terrified of getting a diagnosis of vascular dementia as what little quality of life, I have now , would be gone completely and my life will be virtually over from that point on.

A movie recommendation

It stars Anthony Hopkins, who gives his customary excellent performance as an elderly man going through the confusion of losing cognition on his journey with dementia. It's not a fun watch, or an action movie by any means, and of course, as is the case with dementia, there is no happy ending.

Just a catch up

On the 9th of February I lost my dear husband to the dreadful dementia disease, he suffered for many years. The medical certificate declared he died of dementia, but underlying chronic kidney disease and AF. As you can imagine my own AF is playing up due to the stress.

Drugs for mild dementia

My Mum 98 has mild dementia but over the last few weeks she has had a few problems which seem to have made it worse at night, She wakes up not wanting it to be alone. She's fine most of the time and as I said its mild dementia, that doesnt mean she is not distressed though when it happens.
