He states "I do not claim to know the cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but I do know that Aricept and other Alzheimer’s medications should not be used". https://www.drbrownstein.com/22871-2/?inf_contact_key=d0e96b85cfad51c5d850b7483f1888a7d18a532c4142cb79caf2b269de1401faHe states "I do not claim to know the cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but I do know that Aricept and other Alzheimer’s medications should not be used". https://www.drbrownstein.com/22871-2/?inf_contact_key=d0e96b85cfad51c5d850b7483f1888a7d18a532c4142cb79caf2b269de1401fa

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.

There is no blood in urine but he did have an orchiectomy in March.

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...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...

My Perfect Demented Lifestyle

He says I am doing as well with cannabis as I could have expected to from the usual suspects (aricept, et al) with none of the nasty side effects so....its like go with god. And I will not lie, doing crazy without cannabis would be miserable; this way it is tolerable.He says I am doing as well with cannabis as I could have expected to from the usual suspects (aricept, et al) with none of the nasty side effects so....its like go with god.

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.He asked if I would mind starting Aricept.

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.He is on the generic for aricept for memory now for almost 3 years.

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.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.

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.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.
