Do Aricept and Namenda really help Alzheimers symptoms?
My mother has Alzheimer’s and we are considering taking her off of her medications of Namenda and Aricept. She was diagnosed 12 years ago and is in the late moderate to early severe stage, probably between 6 and 7. I am not convinced this medication is helping, not to mention it’s VERY expensive. She takes many many medications and the costs are getting very difficult for her to pay. I’m looking to see what experience others may have with family members taking these two drugs and if they believe it helps. I think it possibly helped for awhile but she is declining fairly quickly now and I’m no so sure it’s helping any longer.
