Aricept
Hi. My wife was prescribed Aricept, initially 5 mil increased to 10 mil dosage after showing no serious side effects. Specifically told to take at bedtime, with maybe the last drink of the day, to minimise discomfort. We followed the advice religiously and they seem generally beneficial, having a stabilizing effect and no obvious side effects. She also takes vitamin B12. Also advised to follow daily routines to minimise confusion, breakfast, dressing, washing and eating at regular times. Like most of you for your partners, I love her to bits, and have learned from advice on here to minimise her stress, watch out for sundowning, and have bitten more lumps of my tongue than I care to remember. I feel so lucky when I read some of the harrowing experiences on here, and try desperately to make myself a better carer. It is a rotten way for anyone to experience in their final years. I ramble so I will stop at this point. Regards to you all.
