Alzheimer's disease & dementia expert Dr. William A. Van Horn answers a listener's question about her ailing father and explains his treatment approach to Lewy Body Dementia.
Too many people suffering from this awful disease are overmedicated and end up laying in bed drugged up until their death. It's easy to get an agitated patient under control--you put them to sleep. The skill is getting them awake all day and calm.
In this video, he discusses medications including:
- Klonopin (Clonazepam)
- Aricept (Donepezil)
- Celexa (Citalopram)
- Sinemet (Parkinson's drug)
- Sulpiride (an antipsychotic medication)
- Effexor
- Trazodone
- Namenda
- Seroquel (Antipsychotic)
- Mood Stabilizer (Depakote)
Don't give up on your family member with Lewy Body Dementia because some doctor says there is nothing else we can do. There are many things you can do to dramatically improve the quality of life for your loved one who has LBD.
With proper medication, your loved one with LBD should sleep all night, wake up fresh in the morning, experience pleasure, and their behavior is under control enough that they can have a wonderful relationship with you.

Key points • Dementia with Lewy bodies is a clinical diagnosis that is highly specific but moderately sensitive to postmortem finding of alpha-synuclein Lewy pathology in the neocortex. • Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and ancillary tests to rule out alternative diagnoses, including other neurodegenerative conditions (eg, frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer disease). • Clinically, dementia with Lewy bodies is distinguished from Parkinson disease dementia through the “1-year rule” according to the latest consensus criteria (McKeith et al 2017), where dementia with Lewy bodies has onset of dementia within, or prior to, 1 year from the onset of Parkinson disease, and Parkinson disease dementia is characterized by dementia occurring greater than 1 year after a diagnosis of established Parkinson disease. • Parkinson disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies share some genetic risk and prodromal symptoms and can be indistinguishable at autopsy; thus, Parkinson disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are likely a spectrum of clinical manifestations of underlying alpha-synucleinopathy with different patterns of onset and progression. • The majority of patients with clinical dementia with Lewy bodies are found to have sufficient amyloid-beta plaque and tau tangle pathology for a secondary neuropathological diagnosis of Alzheimer disease; thus, aging and Alzheimer disease-related pathology may be synergistic with synucleinopathy to result in clinical dementia with Lewy bodies. • Treatment is largely supportive, and data for symptomatic therapies are limited, however, cholinergic therapies approved for Alzheimer disease may improve cognitive symptoms. • Future work aims to identify pre-symptomatic phase of the disease for more rapid diagnosis and implementation of emerging disease-modifying therapies targeting the pathological process of pathological alpha-synuclein aggregation and propagation throughout the CNS.

Dr. Van Horne. I am a previous patient of yours. My name is Evy Clark. You saw me in your workshops and in Marietta Ga. I have not found anyone to treat me for my panic disorder. I have been having memory problems. No one will prescribe me klonopin. How can I get my medical records? I haven't been able to find you. Please respond.
