Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar n tn 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. But as anti-Parkinsonian medications can cause depression and other personality alterations that might be the one.

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.
246236 tn?1275478902 Hi everyone, it's been a LONG time since I've posted anything on the forum, but I have a question and hope to get feedback from anyone who can help. My neurologist wants me to start on Aricept for my cognitive issues. Apparently it just became available in generic about 3 weeks ago, but she gave me a month's sample of the actual Aricept. I'm excited to take it (I'm going to start it tomorrow so I have a few weekend days to know how it affects me), especially if it helps!
Avatar m tn Anxiety can cause a loss of appetite, but when you actually begin to lose weight and must force yourself to eat, it's time to see your doctor. Which you will be doing tomorrow and can discuss all your concerns with him at that time. You didn't mention if you were on any medication for your anxiety, but some of the benzos and AD's out there do cause loss of appetite and weight. If you ARE on meds, a simple change may be all that is required to fix this.
Avatar f tn Hi,i m 6 wks pregnant.i m observing all normal symtoms of first trimister except loss of appetite.i have heard that during this period women feel crazy about eating.but in my case it seems opposite effect.i have no intrest in taking meals.wud anyone help???
Avatar f tn Lack of appetite is normal. I had on and off with both of my pregnancies. Just eat small snacks throughout the day. Also if your Dr is not concerned about how big you are you likely don't have a problem. I didn't show till about 25 weeks and I only looked about 7 months pregnant when I was 9 and my MIL swore my son wouldn't even be 7 pounds but he was a full 8 Pounds 6 Ounces. A large part of it is how tall you are how you are built and how the baby is sitting.
Avatar f tn m in the 12th week of my pregnancy and it is only in the last two weeks that I have started eating properly. I experienced severe loss of appetite initially due to fatigue and morning sickness! Everyone around is asking me to ensure that I eat my full! Hope.the initial loss of appetite would not have affected the growth of the baby!
Avatar f tn My name is Crystal. I'm in my 3rd pregnancy and i have loss of appetite. I don't feel hungry at all, and i have to force myself to eat. And when i do eat, i only eat like 3 spoons full of whatever I'm eating. Does that seem normal? Had anybody else had this problem?
569458 tn?1221392419 Yeah everyones different but, everyone seems to have a major loss of appetite. On day 7 I was forcing a little bit of toast, and bland foods down, but everything tasted horrible for about 2 weeks. I lost 15lbs but, it caused me to go to ER b/c my potasssium levels were very low. So they gave me a magnesium IV and a 10 day supply of potassium pills. After that I was eating anything and everything in site....lol.
