Hi mum was put on Donepizil 5mg tablets starting from Monday. She is now feeling sick, dizzy with bad headaches. She really is not feeling well at all and barely eating. Does anyone know how long the side effects last? It is awful seeing her like this, I haven;t actually told her it could be one of her tablets though as she would refuse to take it and the consultant did say to try and stick with it until her body adjusts to it.

My OH felt a little queasy at first but ok in days and it has been ana amazing help and didnt realise how much until she was hospitalised and they didnt give her it and the emotional flare ups and mood swings back within 48 hours

If she's still unwell I would be contacting 111 this drug can slow someone's heart rate down

My OH was OK with it at first but the full 20mg dose gave him headaches and the consultant immediately took him off it.
