Alzheimer's Disease
"My mum has been on Donepezil for 2 years. Over the past 6 months her appetite had deteriorated, she&#039;s losing weight, getting aggressive and she was falling a lot. I have recently discovered she wasn&#039;t taking her pills and hiding them in her gums and pretending to swallow, then when I moved away she was taking them out of her mouth and putting them in the bin. She&#039;s 82. I have changed the routine of night time meds to morning as this seems easier. Without this pill, 10mg a day, she deteriorates badly. There is a massive difference in her vocabulary and attitude more than anything else. For those bad comments talking about the drug when it hasn&#039;t been taken for at least 12 weeks, please ignore. This needs to be given time to work."
