Father's dosage was increased by doctor. I suspect that the nursing home may just want to keep Dad in his wheelchair to keep him from falling, rather than concern for his memory. VA doctors wanted to know why the increase in dosage? Dad is extremely sleepy most of the time, moreso than with the 5 mg dosage. I am not sure if he has had seizures, but he has some jerking arm movements occasionally that I have observed during visits. ## My Mother was diagnosed w/Alz. 14 years before she died.At that time,no meds had been approved for alz. and she started having seizures within 3 years that worsened to the point she would turn over a chair she was in or break the toilet seat off due to the severe contortions. There have been 5 family members of mom's family with alz starting with my ...

described on news program as used for removing plaque from alzheimer's patients ## I need more information. ## I want information about Florizan ## It is actually spelled Flurizan and is being produced by Myriad. Here is their site with more information: This drug is still in the investigational stages, which means it is not available to the general public at your pharmacy yet. It is still in the trial and testing phase, so as yet is not approved by the FDA for universal use.
