exelon

Avatar n tn Exelon patch is on back order from the manufacturer until October 24. What alternatives are there?
Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar n tn She has since tested negative for H Pylori, and has been taken off Razadyne(24 mg ) for memory problems, put on Exelon (6mg patch), then taken off it after two weeks and more nausea. She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Still puzzling and frustrating. doctors are stumped (still) and I am feeling worthless because I cannot help her kick the nausea or find the cause. Really looking for help here. Any will be gratefully accepted.
Avatar f tn Mother had been experiencing dreams, nightmares really centering on the things she fears the most - abandoment, loss of control of her money, being pushed down the stairs, etc. These dreams were very real to her and she would then argue with her husband about why he said he wanted to do these things to her. He, of course, knew nothing of these "conversations and situations" she thought were so real.

She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Recently, she started back on the lower dose of Razadyne. Her neurologist doesn't think the medicine is the cause of the nausea, though it could be aggrivating whatever is causing it.
Avatar f tn I feel at such a loss in trying to help my Mother. I've gone back to Neurologist and am awaiting his advise, but he doesn't appear to be emphathetic to this issue. Her GP defers to the neurologist. My 81 yr old Mother in middle to late stage Alzheimer's. She is not on any anti-anxiety med except for Paxil which was prescribed about a month ago. She gets aggitated during the day at times and especially sundowners time.
Avatar m tn can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
Avatar f tn You can google for side effects of the new ones he will be taking, Does he work with any Toxins ? You have my sympathy , its not easy is it, I hope he feels better soon.
Avatar n tn Never had a problem until now. He started with temp memory loss and the doctor put him on 2 Exelon Patches per day to help him with the memory loss and also he now on Oxcarbazepine 300 mg. My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep. Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this.
Avatar n tn It would be helpful if the Exelon Patch advertisers didn't feel it was necessary to have their information on continual scroll. There is a reason why I don't read rolling credits at the end of a movie, too. They usually roll too fast to read and simply hurt my head and can trigger migraines. Most of the time I don't see rolling adds, but when I do, I'm put off. Uh...I did not search for anything that would have had anything to do with this particular advertiser.
382218 tn?1341181487 Thanks for your encouragement and for checking in. I still have double vision and am still off work. It does seem that it is continuing to improve at a slow pace. I'm still not ready to return to work, not only because of my vision but also nerve pain in my arms and intense fatigue. I feel like if I had just one of these things going on I might be able to cope at work, at least part-time, but the multiple symptoms are quite overwhelming.
Avatar f tn Ok so the methadone/neurontin/robaxin didn't work out for me...my dr. has now put me on a 25mg fentanyl patch with vicodin for breakthrough pain. It has been about 12 hrs since my first patch application & I don't seem to feel much relief, has it just not been on long enough? I was hoping I would be a lot less pain free by now!!
Avatar n tn Thank you. I notice you are in Cleveland and have a question regarding Mom. She has been treated for the last few years for Alzheimer's with an Exelon patch. I am not sure why she isn't on any other therapy but this is what her family doc has her on. She has not been "formaly" diagnosed however, the stress of the situation with dad has sent her downward very quickly. Unfortunetly without him, her anchor, her condition has become severe.
559187 tn?1330782856 I am so sorry you have this stinken' headache. I have had it twice, and it is the worst. The first time I waited too long; about four days before I went in. I had relief within the hour. The second time, I waited only about a day, because I knew what I had been through the first time. I don't know how long it takes for it to go away on its own; I have heard it can be upwards of two weeks.
1182304 tn?1349305951 I was surprized that it did work considering I had tried those hot/cold patches and they didnt work and I thought it would work like they do.
Avatar f tn t been working as well with BT pain since I started the Butrans patch. Unfortunately, it does seem all the meds that work well will have withdrawal symptoms which I am not looking forward too either. I know I have built up a tolerance because I went in for a gastric block where they do like a light sedation but do not put you completely to sleep...
620060 tn?1235515791 m afraid this is going to mess up my ability to work. I applied for disability two years ago, before the patch, and was denied. I didn't fight it because the patch was so effective that I felt I could work. Now I don't think I can keep the hours up, and I'm making the majority of the income for our family of 5 right now. What do you do about bosses who don't understand. They make jokes about my pain, and fibromyalgia. I laugh it off but it really hurts my feelings.
769333 tn?1235214424 Memory clinic dr ordered Exelon patch and 50 mg Seroquel, still did not work. After many sleepless nights and panic .25mg daily of Alprazolam together with 50mg Seroquel helped for a while. Seems whenever there is a change in his daily routines his sleep pattern also changes. (Friend visiting overnite or family get togethers) Seroquel was increased to 100mg. with 1 Alprazolam. His panic worse just before bedtime (10:30pm). Since this all started he has become consumed with urinating.
