Hello all...
Mum I think is in the middle stages of this awful disease, yet still lives at home alone. She goes to Day Care 4 times a week, so only really home alone 3 days, but of course we all pop in. It seems she is now forgetting to take her medication Donepezil in the evenings. She has been going to bed about 5pm, I think purely out of boredom and the exhaustion of her day centre, they usually do exercises and dancing, which she loves ....and to be fair I don't have a problem with that. I have brought forward the time on her pill dispenser, which alarms when it is time to take her pill, but more often than not, she's forgetting or just gone to bed before hand. Sorry, the actual question I want to ask, is, do any of you give donepezil in the mornings, does it make a difference to their behaviour, or just best to speak to her GP??
