My husband has just been prescribed aricept for Lewy body dementia but he has Parkinsons as well,so the symptons are very intertwined with each other. He had a bad experience when he was on Exelon as it really effected the Parkinsons(freezing lasting hours). Has anyone experience with any benefits/side effects that aricept has with Parkinsons. I have heard that if you stop taking aricept that the dementia can get a lot worse quickly,don't know if that it's true or not.
The Parkinson's is a lot worse than the dementia so we don't want to tip the balance with perhaps only a slight chance of improving the dementia at the cost of making the Parkinsons worse.
Thanks
