How long after using medication should we expect to see changes? patient sleeps well at night is drousy during the day but by 1pm the symptoms are back.
Brief Answer:
Visit to a neurologist, continue increased doses
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In case, no improvement with current dose, increase is required. The effect of drug is seen in 2-3 weeks. The probable diagnosis may be frontotemporal dementia having memory and behavioural symptoms.
The improvement in memory may not be very marked but behavioural symptoms may be controlled.
You are advised to get a visit to a neurologist for detailed mental status examination to guide you about improvement and prognosis.
Patient examination is necessary to make a prognostic statement.
