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.
If a person has not been diagnosed with alzheimers but is taking aricept, is it okay? will it hurt to be taking it?
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.
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.
I have been taking aricept for about 9 months. It is hard to tell if there is an improvement. It has been a while since I forgot my way home but I still forget a lot of little stuff. I keep taking it because I am convinced it cant hurt anything and it just might help a little.
I think you should discuss with your PCP regarding a drug called Aricept. This should be started only on prescription of your treating physician. It is used for treatment of Alzheimer’s, but is helpful for short term memory loss.
Aricept is a drug of choice to treat Alzheimer's, but its use is not restricted. 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.

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.
When I was having some serious cog fog, I asked my neurologist for a sample of Aricept. Had to argue with him, actually. It worked! I got back some of my cognitive function - not all, but enough that I felt confident about my decisions.
I took it for four months, total. I still have one month left over on the scrip, so if I really need it, I'll have it.
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!
s, but did show almost 6 hours of sinus tachycardia (peeking at 190 while walking and lasting for 30 minutes). This was the first time I have had an episode of palpitations, chest pain or syncope since my ablation. Is it true that it would likely NOT be VT considering my follow up holter showed almost no PVC's? Is it necessary to find out the type of arrhythmia it was even though it has only occurred once in the past 6 months?
Thanks for your assistance!
I have syncope also. I have all the slow, fast, skipping, flutters etc. they did all the tests and my heart is strong but i failed my tilt test. There are several types of syncope. I have vaso vagal. My cousin has the more rare POTS. that causes syncope also. She said she failed her tilt several times but wasn't diagnosed with POTS until they did an EEG, laying, sitting, then standing. Ask questions when at the DR for sure. There's not too much info on POTS and a lot of Dr.
We have read about non-epileptic seizures that are caused by diminished cardiac output, cardiac syncope. What are the chances that this seizure was caused by the bradycardia and not epilepsy? Also how likely is a reoccurence?
Please help me if you can, we need to find someone who specializes in Syncope and in very low blood pressure. Sometimes upon standing the nurses can't even get a reading on her blood pressure because it drops so low.

So far all the tests are coming back normal. He was initially diagnosed with vasovagal syncope in March of 2013. At that time it was only the one episode. As of January 2014 they have increased to 2-3 times a week. Has anyone ever dealt with these symptoms and been successfully treated? What other tests could we consider to find the cause of these episodes?
