My mother has been having hallucinations (auditory mainly) and vivid dreams for some time now (she has alzheimer's). Being on galantamine it has been suggested that exelon patches might be better for her.
Does anyone have any similar experiences with either?
As a family we have to decide, along with the GP and memory nurse, and are even wondering whether to take her off the galantamine altogether for a while to see how she is without.
So I am thinking ....... are the hallucinations part and parcel of Alzheimer's or maybe partly a side effect of what she's taking?
Thanks for listening.
any thoughts appreciated.
