so sorry about your uncle, let us know how that goes. Unfortunately I doubt that skipping one dose will solve the issue with the donepezil, sleep and GI side effects Andre pretty common.

I would tell her doc what is happening.

Hope your uncle is ok. Besides power being out, a lot of cell-towers have damage as well. (central NC here)

I wouldn’t worry about forcing her to take the medication - honestly. It helps a few, a few have too many side affects to take it, and the majority see no benefit. My mom takes the very lowest dose, which is a ramp up dose, because the therapeutic dose gave her bad gastro affects. I know people say ‘ oh he/she is so much better’ - but the truth is they have good days and bad days, and they all decline. Mom certainly is.

Gotta love it when folks don't see the whole picture. 'she seems like she's doing a little better, now'… Yeah, you didn't see what we were putting up with yesterday…
