Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Rivastigmine is a good drug for mild Alzheimer disease. If there are no side-effects and you are tolerating it well then you may continue taking it regularly.
Look for the progress of the disease and if the disease progresses further Memantine could be a good treatment choice.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
