I can’t say exactly how it helps, but it seems to help him not be as compulsive and agitated. He also sleeps more, which is time he is resting snd not compulsively worrying, rubbing his eyes (convinced there is a stick in his eye. There isn’t. We know this after 2 different ophthalmologists have given him complete exams) and stressing over small tasks like sweeping the porch or changing the oil in the car. He intermittently asks about locating his car keys, even though he doesn’t drive. He worries there is a water leak underneath the house. There isn’t. I read that treating the mental anguish is just as important as physical pain, so I intend to explore more options at his upcoming doctor appointment. Based on my experience with my cousin, who died after 6 years with early onset mixed dementia, a certain amount of distress seems inevitable. Eventually, she stopped being insistent about anything. Her verbal communication lessened. This has taken longer with my father. I suspect it’s due to him having Alz and not mixed with another condition. Oh, he also takes Sertraline daily and Xanax for breakthrough anxiety.

I told mine the cards were cloned by scammers, the credit card company closed the accounts, and we're waiting on the new cards. He was also doing the crazy ordering on Amazon.
My daughter's card was cloned and the physical clone presented at a lumber yard by somebody IN PERSON!
