Hi all
My mum takes 10 mg Donepezil daily. I suspect that she's not always taking her medication and I know that the consultant has said that if I can't be sure she's taking it then they'll stop prescribing. My question is a medical one really. Would it be obvious if she missed taking her medication for one day, or maybe two? Or would it take longer to notice any difference? I noticed yesterday, Tuesday, that she was more flustered and anxious than usual and her memory was even worse than normal. From her boxes it could be that she didn't have her tablets on Sunday and Monday.
Any medical types out there, or people with experience, I'd be grateful for some guidance.
