Just spoke with Darah....UGH!!!  I told her the Zyprexa was an absolute no go. I asked again about a true sleeping aid..possibly an OTC.  She mentioned Restoril.  She thought it could be given as low a dose as 7.5mg.  I will  do some research on it. She did not recommend Tylenol PM because it can be so hard on the liver and kidneys..her words.  She mentioned again about the fact that she's been on Ambien for 20 years plus has tried Remeron and Restoril...obviously, she has trouble sleeping...and swears by Ambien!  She also said that the Melanon (an herb to aid in sleeping) also carries side effects like urinary retention.  Could this be a reason Dad's had chronic UTI's?   I'll do some research on this as well.  She's looking up the results of the UA and Dad's weight, which was taken yesterday.  Dr Parten has not made it there yet, but only has until Saturday to make his rounds there...I guess this is Septembers visit he's trying to complete.  They have state inspections going on today...I'm sure this is a stressful day!!   She's suppose to call me back in an hour or so after she's located the UA results and the weight.   Ok, hitting the showers real quick and trying to get ready for the day!!  Love you,  Jamie
