aricept and aggression

t know anything about that - all I know is that before Aricept, I was in a gray mist, and after five months of Aricept, everything seemed to make more sense. Before Aricept, it was as if I had low water pressure - I just couldn't get enough juice in my brain to put thoughts together. On Aricept, suddenly my brain could make connections. The only trippy thing I noticed was an almost hi-def moire behind my eyeballs when I went to sleep.

I asked for a script for Aricept, got it, and was on that for three months. It felt very much like the Aricept gave my brain enough 'power' to jump over the holes. After a while, it was more like the brain knew how to navigate around the holes.

My husband has been taking 10mg of Aricept for 2 years now and I have not noticed any significant difference in his memory. Actually, my observation is his memory is becoming worse. I'm struggling with whether I should discontinue the medication since I don't see improvement and because it is quite costly. I also know Aricept is designed to slow down the dementia so if I discontinue it I'm wondering if he will become worse much faster.

my mum was diagnosed with alzaheimer in October 2008, she was prescriped dogmatile fort 200, aricept, trittico and lustral, I wonder if this combination goes well as she is more depessed since she took the medication.

Hey, I took Aricept for five months to get over some cog fog. It was amazing, and kinda reassuring. I started with some samples, and noticed a difference immediately - I could follow directions, count change, remember conversations... Every time I ran out, I would wait a day or so and see if I noticed a difference. After five months, I reached a point where I felt normal without the Aricept - yay! I highly recommend it.

If a person has not been diagnosed with alzheimers but is taking aricept, is it okay? will it hurt to be taking it?

It has been observed that Aricept improves cognition and function, which includes effects on memory and performing everyday tasks, hence it would have been prescribed. The effect of memory is exerted through one such chemical called acetylcholine. This chemical helps carry messages from nerve cell to nerve cell in the brain. Memory is lost by disrupting these messages between cells. It is thought that Aricept may help reduce the breakdown of this chemical. Hope this helps. Bye.

) I asked him for a prescription for Aricept, and he seemed a little annoyed. He said that there are no real clinical trials to prove the effectiveness of Aricept on mild cognitive impairment, and that it would be a waste of time. I'm not sure he understands the results of the exam. I'm moderately impaired in a few specific areas. Average it out, and I'm in the 'mild' category. But at any rate, I talked him into giving me a month's worth of Aricept.

Boy, Jen, this is difficult. Can you possibly contact whoever makes Aricept, and also the Shared Solutions people, and see if they can work something out for you? They may well have new programs that reflect our economic hard times. Even though you have prescription insurance, if the co-pay is too high, it's too high, period.

I have an aggressive dog too. He isn't towards me but he is to men and babies. I watched my friends baby and he kept charging at her and snapping. My vet said when my baby gets here to give him the first blanket my baby is in so he gets use to her smell. And to get a baby doll to show him you carrying it and loving it. Do not let him play w it. But if my dog shows any signs of aggression to my little girl he's gone. And being the way he is I will have to put him down.

I am confused as to which is the most important issue and how I approach each. I see a neurologist this week and have been placed on Aricept. Yet still the confusion lingers. Please give me some directive on which is the most imperative issue.

I went to the Doctor today and she was amazed I went cold turkey without any help and she does not think i should be able to take the pain of a crushed back. I am done with opiates. Never again will I take this stuff no matter what!

If he has never been this way and has only recently started showing signs of aggression, you need to make an appointment with the vet to rule out any possible medical reasons for his actions. It can be due to anything from pain somewhere in the body to a brain tumor, and since he has already bitten you, you don't want to wait any longer to do this since there's a possibility that your child could end up being bitten also.

The doctor says that Copaxone is failing me and a new drug should be considered. He mentioned Rebif and even Tysabri. He said that he's setting up a new infusion center close to where I live which open in January. I mentioned being TB positive--which he did not comment on. He was in the process of moving me to his office, but a failure in the computer system happened. He was going to go over the MRI with me and discuss the other medicines afterwards.

After discussion with MS Neuro and my wife , we agreed that I should start Aricept , it is used mostly for Alzheimer, so its off label and he says it has shown great results. I do have a damaged working memory and slower processing speed, cognitive impairment effects every day in some small way. I won't reveal to any other family or friends that I ve stated this med, I just think I would feel self-conscious about people looking for my errors and mistakes.

One time I dreamt that the dog had gone THWAP! against the door, and the door broke and fell inside. I woke up and sat up suddenly, saying "Whoa!" Woke my hubby up.

Can gaba cause impulse control issues and/or aggression?

I have had a bit of stomach ache, which comes and goes. Aricept increases gastric acid levels in your stomach, which leads to diarrhea (not yet!) vomiting (not yet!) and nausea (not yet!) I get the impression that you'll know the Aricept is kicking in when your gut starts hurting. Of course, I was having problems down there before I started the Aricept, so maybe it has nothing to do with the new drug. So that's where I'm at right now.

As to BP i know a family who had a child (now he is 20) who was like your son and always unrest aggressive nagging all the time and violent and he was dx asperger (class of autism) so really at 13 and dx BP is very early

She has moderate to severe short term memory loss and has been started on Aricept. She has also recently had an MRI of the brain. Could you explain: "moderate diffuse cerebral atrophy and chronic white matter small vessel disease"? Thank you!

The psychiatrist recommended Aricept, so I got a sample and tried it for a month. I have to say, it definitely made a difference. When I ran out, I waited for the cog fog to come back so I could tell whether it was the Aricept - and it did. So I got a prescription, and took it for five months. Each time I ran out, I waited until the fog returned, then got my script refilled. When the fog stayed away, I stopped taking it.

Could he be on Meds that would cause aggression?
