Hi Tiz (great name),
My mother-in-law has been on 10mg Aricept for about 6 months and we have noticed none of those things.
In fact, those were aspects of her condition related to dementia before she started the Aricept, which the medication has to a large degree smoothed over.
I would agree with Grannie G that this may just be the underlying dementia.
Have you notcied any improvement in any aspects of her condition since she started on Aricept? From what I have read here on Talking Point(TP), this medication does not produce the same results for everyone.
Take care,
Sandy
