Anyone use revastagmine?
My DH was taken off donepizel a few months ago and put on revastagmine because he also takes escitolopram. Apparently there is some concern about an interaction with donepizil. I am not a doctor so I am not sure what the story is. Just wondering if anyone else is going through this.

My DH was situation from donepezil to revastagmine and he was on escitalopram. Revastagmine had less side effect the donepezil.. The escitalopram was discounted about two years later because he started on another med for anxiety.

My DH's situation is exactly the opposite. He was changed from Rivastigmine/Exelon to donepezil/Aricept. When the change was made, I didn't notice any difference. His aggression/combativeness eventually got worse over time. He's now doing really well with the addition of Depakote to his regimen, but it seems to work well in conjunction with seroquel. Everyone reacts differently, so hope you'll find the right mix of meds and dosage.
