  1. - 1st of all, this is just a suggestion.. for the sake of individuals who are conserned about there
    loved one that might be taking ARICEPT presently and onto the other half who is
    looking for the PROS&CONS about suggesting Aricept to Doc s or VisVersa..

    Suggesting, we keep comments and REPLYS in
    more productive informational aspect and past
    experiences of this DRUG. we can not control
    much of the Political view points & involvement
    they might or might not have over the production
    of ARACEPT. So lets control what we can as of now
    in were we individually we stand with A.D (Alzheimer's Disease)
    and help those seeking for answers for there concern of what
    is best to take or stop taking A.D has the same outcome right
    now for all who have it, but the characteristics can be in different
    order.
    ____________________________________________________
    -PERSONAL ACCOUT - Based on personally administering it to...-
    My Father who was diagnosed in 2002 "early" 2003 ,
    I was about to start High School. He passed away on JUNE 19, 2006.
    -ARACEPT was introduced to "him" right when he 1st was diagnosed
    Used it all through out the STAGES.
    ___________________________________________________

    -THE OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF WHAT/DID NOT IMPROVE-
    (This is based on my Fathers reaction compered to what or how
    _____ ARACEPT states it should work or not) _______

    considering my fathers paranoia of my mother trying to kill him via pill form sometimes;
    he would not hide the pill in mouth or spit it out, not just with ARECPT but also anything
    that looked like a MED's ... he would take ARECPT as his regular Med for A.D.
    the Slowing down RATE IN PROGRESSION of A.D symptoms were with out a doubt
    during the start of use there were more then 3 days in sequence of A WEEK that his reaction
    towards the benefits of the use of Aricept... Also when my mother or i assessed my fathers mental or and physical condition compered to days and reactions, side effect reactions. good time not a good time to take for the day.
    *REMEMBER, EVERY ONES BRAIN IS UNIQUE IN HOW IT CALCULATES HOW IT WILL THEN REACT, A LOT LIKE BUT NOT EQUAL TO DEPRESSION MEDS ect,,, ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE OUTCOME OF A.D , WITHOUT A STUDY OF AN ACTUAL CURE FOR A,D IS NON-EXISTENT AS OF NOW... When considering the facts that are as they are and information that you come into contact with ; Aricept, is not a cure and will not make the pain of witnessing a loved one / friend memory fade away when that function is withered down physically the human brain that has AD then targets the body the main control center of what is commanded. the lack of use then becomes an issue internally. WALKING, TALKING, EATING, BODY TOLERANCE AND STRENGTH is what our family had the ultimate control over, keeping my father walking and being motivated to do something benefitted his well being and very much helped his...at the moment sense "happiness" . With this said and pointed out to all of you, i now go on to speak of "Aricept" +
    WITHIN THIS OBSERVATION,
    " based on what i now know about AD and back to my Fathers A.D. "

    Aricept, Helped in being a component in being able to react knowledgeable and follow moments in time in a positive & productive meaningful to the life of an individual with A.D more so throughout stage 1&2 of A.D.

    I do believe I have to agree. Although my mother's AD has been a slower and much longer illness than that of your father's (about 5 1/2-6 yrs now), it has been less severe, at this point. I put this blame on ignorant doctors who did not dianose her, officially, for at least two yrs, but gave in anyway to my fam and put her on the drug. I believe she is here and is still speaking, feeding herself and dressing/bathing herself, due to this medication. We do have to practically FORCE liquids into her, for she has no thirst for anything, it seems.

    At this point, she's just kind of in limbo. I can see that she could forget us, her children, in the next yr. or so. I dread that day. I think when she forgets her children will be when the disease has finally won.
