Can Aricept help memory loss side effects of medications?


At least 3 of medications (that I definitely need) cause memory loss, memory problems, and/or concentration problems.

Does anyone know if I could possibly take Aricept (the medication used for alzheimer's) to help these incredibly difficult memory/concentration
problems that interfere tremendously with my functioning and cause a lot of anxiety worrying if I'm going to forget something. I use a ton of visual aid reminders to help with this problem, but I still forget a lot and worry about forgetting things.

I have a lot of education, but I've always had a problem with reading comprehension. I have to read things over and over. It also doesn't help that I have a lot of disturbing things on my mind that interfere with memory and concentration, but I've had this memory problem for years.

Thanks, in advance, for responding to my question.

Accept is prescribed in situations where Alzheimer's is suspected. ADDING it to to meds. you take that may be contributing to memory loss would probably not be helpful. It would only add more to the chemical "cocktail" already existing in your brain.Of course, your need for these drugs must be part of the equation. However, the only one who can decide this for you is your physician. I am not qualified to give medical advice, and am only going by my own experience. Please ask your Dr (and pharmacist if you like) about this, and take the names and the dosages of ALL the drugs you take with you to your Dr. Don't forget that many over the counter drugs,as well as caffeine ( a drug) and alcohol of course have side effects. Some OTC drugs causing memory loss may include NyQuil, Benadryl, Sominex, etc. Good luck.
