What Causes Agitation After Taking Donepezil?
My mother started donepezil a couple of days ago, she has already been taking namenda (memantine) for going on a year but since starting the donepezil has become more agitated and confrontational the past couple of days. I was wondering if this was a side effect of donepezil?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the agitated behavior then it may not be side effect of drugs that she is having but it could be due to some functional elements she must be having, and it need to be managed accordingly, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
