exelon

Avatar n tn Exelon patch is on back order from the manufacturer until October 24. What alternatives are there?
Avatar f tn t calming her down any, and she did not refil the prescription. 2 months later she had another bad dream and the doctor was notified. He then prescribed exelon. My question: If she does not have Alzheimer's disease, why would he prescribe either of these medicines for her? If this is dimentia, aren't there other drugs out there for that or even drugs that have a claming effect? From what I have read about excelon, I am not sure if it is compatible with her heart medication.
Avatar f tn Additional studies of the Alzheimer’s medications Exelon® (rivastigmine) and Namenda® (memantine HCl) also did not demonstrate a clear benefit. Some side effects may include stomachor bowel problems, mood changes, and urinary difficulty......" Note: Very interesting section on cognitive issues is found about half way down, well worth reading for tips and tricks, medications etc.
Avatar n tn 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?

Avatar n tn Here is a summary of my wife's problems: My wife aged seventy, has had a persistent nausea problem since about February 2008. She wakes up in the morning and feels fine...until she starts to move around. The nausea stays with her until she has some food and liquid in her stomach. Many times, it subsides, but comes back when she moves around again. All her tests EGD, Cat Scan, MRI, etc turn out normal.

Avatar n tn I can't speak for the initial person here. I can say there are a lot of ads per page. I can't tolerate the flashing ones. There aren't any flashing ones today. It aggrivates my migraines to have the flashing ones. I haven't seen pop ups lately. But when they do come up they are hard to close or get right in the way of what you are trying to write. I don't think kids clothing ads are appropriate on there like Zazzle, or Essentialapparel.com.
Avatar f tn I feel at such a loss in trying to help my Mother. I've gone back to Neurologist and am awaiting his advise, but he doesn't appear to be emphathetic to this issue. Her GP defers to the neurologist. My 81 yr old Mother in middle to late stage Alzheimer's. She is not on any anti-anxiety med except for Paxil which was prescribed about a month ago. She gets aggitated during the day at times and especially sundowners time.
Avatar f tn He wets the floor but not himself and talk to himself more frequently, sundowning appears between 2 to 3 am and he would be very active, yell out Hello, searching all sort of things and hide them, making noises, hearing, seeing children with no legs and arm and hiding in panry, or objects and also relate himself to TV or radio and some time if he upsets then he can be nasty but just nudge gently, usually he is a gentle person.
Avatar n tn was there suspected anoxic injury to the brain, meaning that there is evidence, either historically or by imaging (such as CT scan or MRI of the brain) that there was a time period when the brain did not receive enough blood. In sepsis, when the blood pressure drops, this can commonly happen. If there was anoxic injury, this can be permanent, and can lead to a coma-like or comatose state.

Try that with your vehicle stuck in a snowbank during a ground blizzard, in which you can't see your hand in front of your face.

Avatar m tn Not sure if i should put good or ok for my mood today! I mean we got out of the door really early, was at swimming/work on time etc. which usually makes me feel really good (euphoric baby!!) But I was just feeling a bit down from the therapy session on Tuesday I suppose. I don't have as much energy, which I notice cause I've been enjoying it so damn much!!
Avatar n tn t tremble as bad as they did before, mainly if I use them a lot and then suddenly stop, they shake like crazy. They seem not to shake or bother me when I sleep or am trying to go to sleep. Some days my hands are pretty clumsy, other days, I don't notice. What is really worrying me, is that it seems to have spread to my legs. My toes tremble occasionally and I am also getting muscle 'jolts' in my thighs (especially my right thigh).
Avatar n tn There have been several ocasions where I felt as if I started to come down with a bug, like I was begining to come down with the flu, but again, no fever, or sore throat, or swollen lymph glands n my neck. The feeling would last a day then go away and I felt normal but was not feeling well, not tired, but just a lak of motivation is the best way to describe it.
