hi, this is my first visit to this site. can anyone offer any avdice? my dad has had AD for about 7 years. he has been taking aricept but three weeks ago the doctor took him off. he has rapidly declined, an almost daily difference. the only coherent word he can say is "frightened"! he is only sleeping about 4 hrs and is constantly adgitated. my mum cares for him but now can't cope. is this decline usual on stopping aricept? help.
