I heard from Mum's care home today that the CPN had been to see Mum but that as before Mum was totally unco-operative.Recently the dementias have been obviously getting worse. The CPN has said they are to keep Mum on Aricept for the next 2 weeks and monitor her every move. mood etc then they are to stop the Aricept for two weeks and monitor her during that time to see what if anything is the difference.
If there is no difference they won't put her back on it, if things are worse they will resume it.
I am a bit worried about them stopping it suddenly.She's been on it for about 4 years.Should it be weaned away gradually? Does anyone have any experience of this?
