Should either of these drugs be used for anxiety with a person with dementia? Thanks.

I'm sorry the drugs I were questioning are Vistaril or Lorezapam. The Dr had prescribed Lorezapam on a as needed basis. Someone said Vistaril is safer. Dr is on vacation cant ask question. Thanks.

Lorazepam has been a God send in my home! It has made a world of difference. My MIL was extremely agitated and borderline violent until we started her on it. We do .5 mg in the morning and again in the evening. I have not heard of vistaril, so I can't offer an opinion on that drug.

Good luck!
