Dementia with PD

I am really concerned with dementia. The doctor gave Exelon patches for his loss in memory. I am worried. Anyone have any idea as to which med Works best for cognitive impairment in PD?

I am giving my father Alpha GPC to increase his choline levels. That helped him a lot. You can also try CDP Choline.

He is taking the generic oral version of the Rivastigmine (same as Exelon) which prevents the break down of choline in the brain. So, supplementing with choline only makes since.

Why wouldn't doctors recommend supplementing with choline? I think my dad's neurologist doesn't even know how Rivastigmine helps with dementia just that it does. When I told her about it, she just said if it helps, great.

What do you mean, Cincinnato? B1 helps cognitive impairment?
