Good morning, Mom in the stroke ward was given 50 mg of Ketrel for sleeping at night. She was stunned until about 12 noon the next day. Now she is at home and I give her 25 mg of this drug overnight. It must affect the lowering of pressure, I think, because the other drugs that Mom takes for hypertension have not changed, and she has never had such low values - 106/54 or 113/56. In addition, it is a bit confused before noon. There are no paresis, there is a fairly normal contact. Only he still has weak legs. He walks slowly with the help of a walker. I would like to suggest to the doctor to descend from Ketrel. I know you can't put it off suddenly. How to reduce it with such a small dose? Can you administer, for example, for 10 days after 1/2 tablet, and then after 1/3? (I know that the manufacturer does not anticipate splitting the drug, but I do not know of any other way to stop than reducing doses). Before the stroke, Mom slept great 10 hours a night. Perhaps she would still sleep like this without the boosters, and so strong ones that stupefy her. The doctor will be with us in two days. Please advise if I can give half a tablet of this drug at night. Best regards.
