Hi all
My mum has been taking donepezil since May and her consultant upped it to 10mg about a month ago. I've recently had all her meds (she now has 5 different medications for other health issues as well as early onset Alzheimer's) put into a dosset box so we can all keep an eye on her to ensure she is taking them all daily. Mum was sick today when we were out and about, she was sick Monday (I think but she hasn't admitted it) and my auntie has just informed me that mum has told her she's been sick a few times lately.
She's also had had a much smaller appetite lately and has been having an afternoon nap sometimes too even though she tends to go to bed early and sleeps till 11am-1pm some days.
Are these things to worry about or could it be because she is definitely taking her meds daily whereas before I think she was sort of hit and miss a week or two ago before the dosset box.
Thanks
