Hi
Mum has now been on Aricept for 4 weeks, dosage increased over the weekend. Dad and I both feel that (sadly), she's got worse, not better.
Hallucinations are worse and she seems a little more disorientated than usual, but we're not sure if it's coincidence that her drugs have changed or this would've happened anyway.
I feel a little gutted, had really hoped this one would make some difference, even just for a little while.
Since Mum's had everything else, is it likely that they'll put her back on drugs she was on before (should they decide that the Aricept is not appropriate), or will they just leave her with no drugs at all now?
I can't bear the thought that that's it, there's nothing left to try. She's just too young for this and it's too much for Dad........sorry, just feeling a bit down,
Mandy
