Any good results with anti-psychotic medication for dementia?

I feel elders have a difficult time post-anesthesia, perhaps age is not factored in with administration of drugs. Could this person benefit from a dosage adjustment? .....rather than starting a new drug as each drug carries with it different side effects. If they have done well on this particular anti-psychotic then a dosage change might be better. Just my opinion.

The doctor may increase the dosage of the antipsychotic medication if the condition does not get better. How long this will be I do not know. I do know that it initially took weeks to even give them something that worked. No one is saying anything about the procedure right before the decent into mania. I believe it should be looked into more before just saying it's progressing Alzheimers.
