It seemed like a good opportunity to look at some of the side effects of this common drug being used now in the treatment of elderly dementia, and how side effects might manifest.
Notice especially the mental health side effects about half way down and ask yourself if you have seen this anywhere.
Mental health problems. Symptoms can include:
symptoms of mania, such as racing thoughts, feelings of power, and excessive energy
aggression or hostility
hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t real)
paranoia (feeling suspicious)
feeling overexcited
Again, it is good general knowledge.
