hi..visit a psychiatrist once again..may be she have had convulsion for which eptoin was prescribed..but the continuation of this drug at this age should be reviewed..alzil is anti-dementia drug, but the dose may be increased,,she should be prescribed sedatives for sleep and also some low-dose anti-psychotics to tackle behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia..consult soon..wish her good health..
