Aricept Cause Upset Stomach?
A myALZteam Member asked a question 💭

Moms been complaining of upset stomach for about a week now. Shes been on aricept for a little over a month. Just last week her dose went up to 10mg. I'm wondering if this could be the cause. I haven't had a chance to read the side affects. She hasn't eaten a whole lot besides soup. Was gonna give a call to the doc, but thought I'd ask of anyone else had experienced this.

My husband had diarrhea and stomach discomfort for months. I took him off it. He is still on Memantine. I Don’t think anything helps.

The combination of Aricept and Namenda for Bob have helped him maintain an fair condition. He's been on both medicines for over a year and a half. His memory hasn't been cured by any means., He still is having ;problems but can function in many things throughout the day. In most cases, he remembers his medicine., sometimes with help, many times not. I check his pillcase which is marked with each day, one for am and one for pm. He has never complained about his stomach being upset.
