hi have a good read through this link if you go down your find side effects read that as well. <link> this link is good to read so many downers very bad side effects and so on. <link> just copy links one at a time into google to the www. to open and read. i found you this it was on drugs. com about coming off the drug. no presently there are no recommendations of tapering dose when deciding to stop treatment. the symptoms you describe often lead to the discontinuation of aricept. do hope this helps you. good luck
can my dad quit taking aricept 10 mg cold turkey? . since on this medication he has become more agitated irritable confused night wandering explosive sleep problems diarrhea and having extreme crying bouts. we need to get him off asap and gp won't get him in to evaluate instead prescribed a anti-psychotic medication without even seeing him. needless to say we fired him!
