Hi,
My dad has been diagnosed with mixed dementia. The memory clinic doctor didn’t think a scan was necessary to diagnose and has suggested donepezil. My dad is blessed with perfect physical health and so has never needed to take meds and is reluctant to try the donepezil given the side effects. Just wondered whether it’s worth it? Does it help? I’ve read mixed reports about it and am worried about the dizziness side effect because my dad currently lives alone.
Thanks
