    I think you are saying Aricept has a lot of side effects? Anyways, a medicine called Exelon is also used for mild to moderate Alzheimer's. Unfortunately it can also cause nausea or lack of appetite in some people.

    Sadly, there are few treatments for it. Check with the National Institute for Mental Health to see if they have any new medicines.

  • My aunt takes a drug called "Namenda." It is supposedly for dementia. But they also say it is for memory.
