My grandma, who was in her late 80's to 90's at the time, took it and it worked really good for her. She was always really agitated and used to think the neighbors were all spying on her. (She was the one doing the spying!) She didnt start taking it until she got into an assisted living arrangement but it really helped calm her down.
