338416 tn?1420045702 m momentarily off the Aricept, my work performance has declined. Basically it looks like I have to keep taking Aricept in order to do my job. So my question is, do I tell my employer about my cognitive problems? It sounds like I could lose my job, get a poor performance evaluation, all that that implies, because I'm having cognitive difficulties. My immediate supervisor knows about my diagnosis. Will revealing that I'm having cognitive problems be a bad idea?
Avatar f tn my mom also took it and it made her worse we took her off of it, its only to last a year and help slow it down but i have talk to lots and they say same thing you are there was no difference , just the cost of the meds. sorry its so hard to watch our love one go down, but you will be blessed for being there and doing all your doing . GOD BLESS YA.
246236 tn?1275478902 Tick, I'm so glad to hear that Aricept has helped you! I'm very hopeful that it does the same for me! I used to be able to multi-task like no other and remember EVERYTHING. Now, if I get interrupted, I lose my train of thought and become so frustrated! And I can totally relate to the inability to find words! And to the feeling "retarded"...although I have known many many mentally challenged people who can speak and find words better than me!
704043 tn?1298056844 m glad you guys brought this up. I had no idea that Aricept worked that way. Does it give you a lift too----you know like ritalin?
Avatar f tn once my handgun was missing and he accused her or her friends (when the last time I saw it HE was taking it to show his friends at work for hunting season). Right after he became sober he was very forgetful. 2 years ago he put 1,000 cash in the spare room from his Christmas Fund to pay off the credit card bill when it came along with my Christmas Card ... he can't remember where he put it. We're still searching for it to this day. Any ideas?
338416 tn?1420045702 D'oh-oh'oh! Evidently I'm not 100% better! I haven't been on Aricept for 70 days - it's only been 40+ days, maybe 50. Dunno what I was thinking. I've never before had to worry about whether I could overdose on a drug. I think I accidentally took two one time - I had a hard time sleeping, and felt a little like everything was in high-resolution. Little hard to explain, but easier if you've ever taken hallucinogens.

338416 tn?1420045702 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn If a person has not been diagnosed with alzheimers but is taking aricept, is it okay? will it hurt to be taking it?
Avatar n tn Those are standard anti-depressents. However, I personally know about Aricept because I tried it for tardive dyskinesia and had a pretty poor response. My grandfather was prescribed Aricept for age related memory loss after a cardiovascular impairment. He couldn't tolerate it either. That doesn't mean at all its the wrong medication generally. Its just it has a fair amount of side effects for some people.

The source of my attention/concentration problems is actually a low-level chronic dizziness of unknown cause. Not MS, presumably. But I do have highly abnormal brainstem evoked potentials, and I can't help but think that's related to my concentration/attention problem (solved by Strattera!
Avatar f tn Do not take another one. If you threw it up, then you threw it up. It safer to just take a day off from prenatals rather than taking another one and possibly having to go to the hospital for to many minerals and vitamins .
Avatar f tn Never worked for me but, it does for some so definitely worth a try.
