I have been struggling these last few years to maintain the life I had before my father was diagnosed with Alzheimers. Unfortunately, it is something that I obviously cannot deal with. Mother passed away several years before the diagnose and I just could not leave my father at some nursing home. Anyway, I have heard of Aricept, which might help a lot with this condition. Anyone used Aricept (or Donezepil)? Is it effective, or just another false hope?

You should know that among all medicaments approved for your fathers condition, Aricept is the only one that can be used in all stages of Alzheimers. Researches have proven that it helps with function and cognition, in other words, it helps with memory and everyday activities, meaning that your father might start resembling the person he was before this illness. Of course, you should talk to his doctor before taking any steps. I realy hope this medication will help your father, the way it helped mine.

My Father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's diease when I was 12, he is in the late stages of it now. He was on Aricept for the past five years and it really works in improving memory and slowing down the disease to some degree. I wish you all the best.
