Worked okay, for some reason the Dr. wanted to put her on Exelon. She did have nausea, but this has always been a problem for her as she has other medical problems.

The Aricept has given me back concentration clarity of thought spelling to an extent and vocabulary. I have been on it since official diagnosis 4 months ago.

It seemed to help dad a lot. He was sleeping less talking more fluently. However he may have had another stroke... well... he did... we just didnt get it verified but we can see enough evidence of it. So at the moment we are waiting for the dust to clear from that.

Slight improvement. Dad's physical health is good, so you can get him to take a shower and brush his teeth, but you have to tell him every time. He has three phases of each day. From waking to 4:00PM is reasonably good, 4:00PM to bed time he is bored, and night time, he is Dr. Jekel.
