Donepezil aka Aricept

A mild mannered drug used to treat confusion in patients with dementia. Often the only chemical of consequence for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. A little humor there. The previous choice was rivastigmine which Cheryl could not tolerate.

We’ll see. I am fearful of giving her some thing else that is going to make her feel like crap all day long. The slow movement and mental confusion is somewhat easier to help her with than persistent nausea. Rivastigmine did that to her.

We are starting this drug on the thirteenth of the month. That cannot be good.

Carp drug Diem.
