Donepezil was prescribed for my husband who is in early stage AD. We started with 5 mg. and after 6 months increased it to 10mg. He took it at bedtime and never had an adverse reaction.

My husband takes aricept and namenda and xanix and small paxil. Wd exelon be a better option?

How effective is it in the onset. Will it slow down the process.
My husband is taking Namzaric. His progression is very slow, thank God.
My Dad has been taking Memantine and Exelon and it has made a world of difference. I hope your mum is doing well.
