I am currently taking Donepezil HCL 10 mg for having memory problems. Does this mean I will have eventually have Alzeimers Disease? I m very efficient about taking my meds; however, I m really upset thinking I m going to end up with Alzeimers. Is there anything else I can do to help myself? YYYY@YYYY

Hello
It is not necessary that you will end up with Alzheimer's if you are taking donepezil.
The best way to prevent Alzheimer is to keep your brain at work. Solve puzzles, make your plans, change routes to your destinations and you will be fine.
Thanks
