Aricept Beneficial for Alzheimer's Patients, But Expensive

clipped from alzheimersreadingroom.blogspot.com I get asked this question frequently: "Does your mother take Aricept"? When I answer yes, I get the follow-up. "Does it work?" I am confident that Aricept works well for my mother. There is little doubt that it has slowed the progression of Alzheimer's disease and helped smooth out her behavior. I know from personal experience it works well with other persons suffering from Alzheimer's but not all of them. I also learned it is critical if you suspect Alzheimer's or dementia to get to the doctor and get on the appropriate medication as soon as possible. Delaying this decision can be more harmful then you could ever imagine.
