Hi. My husband was diagnosed with dementia last summer and he is currently takin galantamine. can this cause bad dreams as he jerks a lot at night whilst asleep and has almost punched me in the face. He has grabbed my arm aggressively and kicked me. He doesn t know he is doing it and I have considered getting two separate beds.

Hello,

I don't think this situation comes from taking galantamine. This comes dementia and changes that brain undergoes in this type of disease. I think Galantamine can help him be better.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
