Hya, I wondered if anyone else had experienced side effects to aricept. My Mum has had Alzheimers now for a couple of years, she has been prescribed aricept, when the medication was increased, she became unable to breath (she has a history of a weak chest), she was taken off the medication.
Once we had things back under control, she was again put on aricept, keeping at the level she was okay with.
After a number of months, her breathing has gone really bad again, I know if she is taken off the medication again, (which has been mentioned) it will be a perminant thing.
This is upsetting to my Dad as the medication has been a help for both of them.
Any advice would be welcome.
