Experiences with

Exelon

Is Exelon useful for Parkinsons in general? Or only those with memory loss, dementia and Parkinsons? Thanks

Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors, rivastigmine, donepezil and galantamine (Exelon®, Aricept®, or Reminyl®) were also permitted. The study found that ANAVEX®2-73 was well tolerated in oral doses up to 50 mg once daily.

Does anyone have any knowledge of Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as Donepezil (also known as Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon) and galantamine (Reminyl) and the other drug Memantine ?

He has been on Exelon (rivastigmine) transdermal patches for a year or so now and we were told that they are supposed to slow down the progress of the disease. He sleeps most of the day and often looks as if he is fighting to stay awake.

The next step will be the Exelon patch to see if he’ll respond with better speech and word findings (cognition enhancing drug). We are trying to get preauthorization for this drug through Medicare so we haven’t actually been able to try it yet.

We have found excellent results in slowing the disease and easing symptoms with: Exelon Patch (Rivastigmine), Mucuna Pruriens (plant based l-dopa) and Amino Acid therapy. At 9 years, he can no longer walk or stand on his own, and his cognition is up and down.

Hi all, my dad went to hospital and had a pyschological testing...the doctor then called us and said that my dad has loss of memory and that he should take Exelon patches....I dont konw what to do? Does this mean he has dementia? Anyone konow of Exelon patches?

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?

She also put me on Exelon. Does anyone have any experience with this drug and dementia in general. It’s scary.

My dad used it for 3 days then he felt dizzy and spinning (I am not sure it is because of Exelon or Remeron, but the gastroenterologist told us to stop them first and see how it goes).

Also on Exelon patch and Amantadine. About a month ago I added Mannitol with some pretty good improvements in cognition, attitude, my voice, constipation, a few fine motor issues, that have really felt like huge baby steps of hope! (Although it has not impacted the tremors at all...

Does anyone have experience with Exelon capsules and if so how did it help, if it did?

My Mother started Namenda a month ago, then added an Exelon patch one week ago with the hope that these would help her gait freezing. The problem is actually getting much worse! Has anyone experienced such a paradoxical effect?

Hi Folks! Rons new Neuro doc really wants him on the patch, but he's in Rock Steady Boxing class 3 days a week, sweats like crazy. And he tries to walk on the off days. Can he still use it? I've been putting this off long enough, have had it for 2 months, but I'm worried 😱

He put him on the Exelon patch (rivastignimine) but I haven't started him on it because of the side effects and how they might affect his caring for his son. Balance, dizziness, fainting, etc,. We would really appreciate any comments, advice, you can give us.

she was put on Exelon to slow down the progression of the disease. she has been pretty much self sufficient until approx 2 yrs ago when started to decline physically as well as mentally. she has multiple other problems including heart disease, neuropathy, urinary and bowel incontinence, etc.

Today the neuro prescribed him the memory patch, I thinks it's the exelon patch. Has anyone tried this patch? Any side affects? Thoughts?

On carb/leva, nemenda, exelon, lexapro,clozapam. Diag with depression, possible chemical poisioning, dementia, sleep apnea first. Slowed way down, on disability, unsteady at times, unmotivated, can't do numbers, building, fixing things like I could.

Sinemet has not worked or Exelon for the memory, I wonder what else they will suggest ? Sorry for the rant but P is becoming almost impossible to move around and requires 24/7 attention.
