have you tried searching online to see if this is a known side effect of one of these meds? — Beth in Australia ————————– Unless stated otherwise, anything I say here is my opinion only – I am not a medically trained professional FAQ for alt.support.sleep-disorder can be found here http://talhost.net/sleep Newsgroup Archives http://talhost.net/sleep/archives.htm this site is a work in progress – feel free to submit info/articles _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account

I have to stay with my grandmother at nights. She will be 98 in July. In the last year, she has started sleeping a lot in the day sleeping all night and talking in her sleep. She talks all night. ALL NIGHT. If she sleeps in the day, she is talking also. Clear and loud. Soft and mumbled. Her physical health is good and her mind is great. It is usually conversations with someone else she doesn’t remember when she awakes. I spoke to her doctor about it and she said "buy earplugs". I can not sleep at night for her and the earplugs do not help nor does going into other rooms of the house. She is wearing me out . Herself too. Her meds are: Torsemide, Propranolol, Isosorbide, Diovan, Coumadin and Lexapro. Anyone have any suggestions? 10k
