but now after a week she says she has ringing in the ears when she goes to bed and when she gets up to use the bathroom she gets dizzy.I have let her Dr know but do Alzheimer’s patients make up reasons to not take the meds?Because she has fought me before about not wanting to take the meds,
Were she aware, then such a symptom could arise not simply "made up" but subconsciously thought about so much that it simply manifests to her.
Dizziness is also common, and of course, one of the side effects from these drugs that can so profoundly "help" is that they can impede or diminish mobility.
Again, as you are doing, this is for you and your mom's medical team to discuss and decide upon further try with this medication. Some early symptoms do disappear with a bit of time; meanwhile she is at more risk of falling.
Wishing you luck.
Their meds are/were ground up and mixed with pudding or some other very sweet treat to mask the taste.
