Alzheimer's disease drugs? |
My father passed away 11 days ago,and since then ,my 76 - year - old Mother has been having severe memory problems;she can't remember birthdays,names of people she knows,how many states there are,etc. She had a CAT scan of her brain ,bloodwork and the doctor examined her today.There was nothing out of the ordinary,and he said that the memory loss could be from the stress of losing my father,but he put her on the Alzheimer's drugs Aricept and Namenda.I would appreciate it if anyone who has family members on these drugs could give me an idea of what to expect in the way of side effects,etc,and do these drugs really help at all? Also does anyone have any advice as to natural remedies ( herbs,etc,) that may help? Thank you in advance. Vascular Factors May Speed Progression of Alzheimer's Disease well you could take her to the doctor only to find out years later the meds she was put on will do more harm that good or you can try gingko bibola (or something like that...sorry cant spell)....... Gingko Bola which everybody had a different opinion on this herb. The above two drugs are good drugs. Sorry for the loss and watch your mon. I know that people with certain disorders, such as bipolar, are often prescribed Aricept. It helps in focusing and in memory. Yes, it does work and does a very good job. |
