My mom, 50 years of age, has been using Zolfresh 10mg (1 tablet per night). I have seen that if I talk to her an hour after she has had the tablet, she has not recollection of the same the next day. Slightly worried and wanted to find out what are the side effects of usage of this tablet? Can this tablet cause Alzheimer's disease?

I am 58 years of age and employed full time over recent times I have had disturbed sleep patterns and have been feeling very tired during the day. I have recently been diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease; however I am yet to get in to see a specialist and this may not happen for some time due to demand on their services. I know that the forgetfulness and confusion I feel is due to the disease; however, is it possible that the inability to get a good night’s sleep and the resulting tiredness is also related to Alzheimer or is it likely to another matter.

My mum who has Alzheimer s had a fall today , tonight she has a few bruises , and she is very wobbly on her feet , do you think I should get her a doctor , or wait till the morning and see how she is then , she has over the last few weeks got slower with her walking , but today after her fall she got a bit shaken , it was hard to get her to stand up tonight , but eventually my father got her to the bathroom and back , what do you suggest ?
I suggest she get to an emergency room. Alzheimer's patients die from falls and hip fractures and also from pneumonia due to immobility. Anytime she has a major incident like a fall it is best she be checked out by a physician to be sure nothing damaging has happened to her. Waiting a long time...
