Hss your loved one been prescribed Seroquel for delusions?

My husband’sonly prescriptions ( he is on many supplements) are for sleep but they are not working this week. Trazadone 100mg at bedtime and Klonopin .125 mg dissolvable in the middle of the night. He also gets Melatonin and Theanine an hour before bedtime.
But lately he is getting up 3-4 times, goes to the bathroom and I have to direct him there and get him back to bed so my sleep is completely disturbed- making me very cranky. He is also mean and belligerent during those wake up times.
I need to find another solution but I hate more meds as he has a hard time feeling alert in the morning.
I’m ready to talk to his docs but I’m also ready to try the CBD but would want it under a doctors care.

@maryvc Suggestion. Amazon has a package of four "night lights" that have several modes. Always on, lights up when motion in detected, on/off at dusk/daylight. $26.49. I got these in Oct. after she fell in the bathroom. Now with the light set to turn on when motion is detected as soon as she swings a leg out to the floor the light comes on and doesn't turn off until one minute after she is back in bed. And I can sleep through it, though I know she is up. I also got
Toliet safety rails to help her raise herself up from the toliet. The other light are strategically place through out the first floor making softly lit areas for both of us.
SEE BELOW.
AUVON Plug-in LED Backlit Night Light with Motion Sensor & Dusk to Dawn Sensor, Dimmable Amber Nightlight with 1-50 lm Adjustable Brightness for Bedroom, Bathroom, Stairs, Hallway (4 Pack)
If Amazon doesn't have it, it isn't made. Except for food we always check Amazon first. Our nearest good shopping area is 15 miles away.

@maryvc , eventually with the progression of my dad’s condition, we focused on getting through the days and nights. Daddy’s agitation and unrest became pervasive. Him being refreshed and functional wasn’t possible. We would have tried CBD if it was legal here.
