Hello, my name is Denise and I joined this forum because my youngest sister was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. My father had it and my mom had frontal lobe dementia. I try to stay on top of research, but a lot has changed. My older sister and I have been taking her to different doctors for testing. Right now she is on Exelon 1.5mg and she thinks it is keeping her awake at night. I have a call into the doctor because even though she has only been on it a week, she wants to stop cold turkey. Has anyone else done this and what will the side effects be?
