Hello, I am new

She is on Aricept from the memory clinic, which doesn't seem to have helped and Half Sinemet which has also made no difference. So that's me. I look forward to talking to you all and getting to know you. Thank you for letting me join x

When the time comes

Stop all drugs that aren’t intimately involved in keeping me alive or alleviating pain such as any dementia medications I may be taking (Namendia, Aricept, etc...), drugs for hypertension, lipidema, etc...

An Interesting Week

He asked if I would mind starting Aricept. As I had reviewed several studies of the effectiveness of Aricept use in early DLB, especially without overt concurrent signs of Alzheimer's, being quite a bit more effective than placebo without a great many side effects, I agreed.

Frustrated

He is on the generic for aricept for memory now for almost 3 years. What concerns me is that I've been reading (which is probably a mistake) that aricept is for dementia associated with Alzheimer's, he is on th highest mg,but he has never been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Medication

My husband is taking Aricept, I don't know if it is making him more drowsy, he sleeps most of the day. Has anyone tried stopping it and if so any improvements?

Ooops, I DiD It Again

It's Donepezil which is the generic for Aricept. He did say it has more side affects than the Namenda; didn't say what they were; also fine with me. Never experienced side affects from the Namenda.

While I suspected this for some time, his dementia is now confirmed

He will start on Aricept today.I know it helped his Aunt when she started it several years ago so i hope he has good results with it. He has mostly non-motor symptoms which are hard to control since they are unpredictable and new one keep popping up.
