Hello and thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

If your condition related to Alzheimer's is evaluated by your Neurologist as moderate to severe, Donezepil dose may be increased to 23 mg/day after three months of 10 mg/day.

Discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.
