Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

Interesting. I’ll ask her gerontologist about that. We mostly work with her primary care physician because there aren’t any Alzheimer’s doctors in our area, so we just periodically have video chats with a gerontologist. I’ll stop the melatonin and see how it goes.

She was agressive and constipated on melatonin.
- Comment
Long term melatonin is not something they recommend. Besides she doesn't need it with Trazadone. Actually doctor may prescribe her antidepressants or other stuff to work with trazadone.
- Comment
What were her side effects of the melatonin?
- Comment
Do you need melatonin???
