The Novartis patch, called Exelon, was previously approved for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s and it remains the only federally approved patch for the disease.

My mom suffers from this lewy body dementia, and i wish there was something more effective out there other than aricept or exelon... If anyone knows anything about REMBA, please drop me a line.... I thank you and good luck to you ,or your loved one!

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.

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?

can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?

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.

Then whatever they say something is going on and you need to seek more answers for him, ask for another opinion, ,as he has had a diagnosis of early Alzheimers maybe this is part of it, there is a new med coming up called Rember', it should help a lot of people Google it to get the latest information, it is on the 3rd year of Trials , hopefully be on the market in a couple and passed by the FDA ..

My 79 year old father sustained a TBI when he was knocked out for about 20 minutes. He is on Namenda and Plavix, is it possible that Adderall could help with his short term memory loss. Before the accident he lived on his own.

Hello my peeps. Sorry I've been MIA - but those of you who know me, know the multiple medical reasons why. Anywho, I went to my neuro again today (now I see her every 2-3 months instead of every month). I had told her that my primary sent me for another neuropsych eval because of the issues I told her I was having. I had the testing at the University about 3 wks ago & won't get the final results until the 18th.

I had dementia symptoms with B12 malabsorption. In my case due to autoimmune pernicious anaemia. I had severe B12 deficiency. It took a month for my memory to start improving after weekly B12 injections. I switched to 2000 mcg daily of sublingual (under the tongue) B12 spray which I find superior personally. I have permanent nerve damage. *** Excerpt from Livestrong - Be Aware of Alcohol's Effects on B-12 Absorption..

I have known many people with this illness. For some it is best to be in a care place where they will not get hurt, for others the siblings decided to care for the parents at home. I hated watching a woman friend to my Mom who was placed in a home and just was in bed till she died, maybe that was best- but it was hard to watch. I don't know if there is any connection, but I read once about Gluten and Memory loss. You might read up on that and just see... I really don't know.

If anyone in your family has experienced dementia at a young age (before 65), you and other family members may be at increased risk of developing frontal lobe dementia (FTD) – also known as Pick's disease. A new blood test may reveal your specific risk. In 1892, Czechoslovakian neurologist Arnold Pick first documented a type of dementia in which degeneration of cells occurs in the cerebral cortex (the outer layer of the brain) where cognitive and behavioral functions are controlled.

Is there any kind of help for people in the first stages of dementia beside Namenda.? Is there anything in the health food stores that can be taken.? And does vitamin B1 help.?

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.

Thank you for your words. My mom was diagnosed this past October. She is 87, she is currently in a nursing home. Mom had sister that had lewy body the last few years of her life before she passed.Mom had a bad fall a few years ago,she did have a concussion.My dad is 92 and still living at home.He wants to go and live with mom in the nursing home, so he can be with her for the rest of her life.

t know the name of the drug but I believe there are new drugs for dementia. My husbands friends mother is on something that is new and she is doing better... I would discuss this again with the doctor and even if nothing else, maybe a mild tranquliser for the daytime would help..The ativan is good for situational anxiety but maybe your mother needs something a little stronger to quiet the chatter in her mind.

Agree with Iladvo, It is tempting to write down behaviour for older people as dementia. It could be anything really and the facts given here are that he has seen a doc who has given advice. Follow that advice, if possible. If he won't follow the doc's advice there isn't much you can do without getting very personal and create enormous problems. Can you go to the doc with him and ask for clarity and get a referral.? Maybe?

"Causes of dementia include: Alzheimer's disease —the most common cause of dementia Brain damage after multiple small strokes (also called vascular dementia) Lewy body disease Alcoholism AIDS Multiple sclerosis Huntington's disease Parkinson's disease Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease Front-temporal dementia (including Pick's disease) Normal pressure hydrocephalus Untreated syphilis Toxic levels of metals, such as aluminum (can sometimes occur in dialysis patients) Vitamin B12 defi

After six months of medicine that problem is over but now she had dementia. Is it possible that dementia may be side effect of medicines? The age of my wife is 70.

With the coronavirus, am I a high-risk person if I had hydrocephalus in the past and still have my shunt? and would I be in the high-risk group especially with having very minor dementia due to either the hydrocephalus or the surgery? (It’s uncertain which one triggered the minor dementia) I remember to wash my hands and not touch my face, so my minor dementia is not that bad.

Interested in memory enhancement, the pharmaceutical industry has naturally taken the route of trying to develop drugs to do the job, because as synthetic substances, they can be patented and profited from. It has researched the use of smart drugs for both Alzheimer's patients and for the much larger market of people suffering and that are victims from so-called Age-Associated Memory Decline(Alzheimer's Disease). Two approaches have been adopted.

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. 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.
