It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Definitely speak to your doctor. Pepsee raises a good point; I know that my father was certain that he needed his benzodiazepines because when they wore off his heart raced and he felt acute anxiety and he thought he would die, I'm equally certain the effects he was feeling were the result of addiction.
I wouldn’t mess with the seroquel dosage. It has so many side effects, potential side effects...
Talk to your doctor and explain your problem of sleeplessness. Or ask the pharmacist, who’ll carefully choose his words because he can’t give you straight up medical advice. He can explain your drugs to you.
Try Sleepy Time tea with extra valerian. Drink at bedtime. Buy in most grocery stores.
Serena, lorazepam, also known as Adivan, is for anxiety disorder when taken on a daily basis. You get an immediate initial high from it, as you know. However, when the high wears off, the calming effects do not. You just don't feel the high anymore.
When you stop *feeling* it, you are telling yourself, you feel anxious again. This is not true.
This thinking pattern is exactly why people get addicted to prescription drugs. By looking for that *feeling*.
Do not fall into this trap. If you think anxiety is rough, fighting an addiction will bring you to your knees.
Seroquel, does NOT feel like Ativan. It causes depression in people looking for that high. Thus leading you to take more Adivan, then prescribed.
Seroquel IS prescribed for some people with mood disorders. But if it wasn't given to you for daytime use, the effects will be negative.
Be honest with yourself about what your doing and why. You're on a very slippery slope right now. And hopefully you haven't fallen over, by taking more Adivan then prescribed.
Definitely talk to either your pharmacist or the doctor who prescribed the meds.
Seroquel is an anti-depressant and Ativan is an anti-anxiety. While they both have sedative effects taking Seroquel during the day in place of the Ativan can mess with your brain chemistry.
Additionally, if you start taking Seroquel in place of the Ativan you'll run out of your Seroquel before you're supposed to. If it has a refill on it your insurance won't pay for it to be refilled until a certain date. If you want to bypass the insurance a prescription of Seroquel is about $1,000.
Ativan is short-acting, Seroquel is long-acting. If you take a Seroquel during the day you will be sleepy until it wears off.
