I've been prescribed Donepezil 5mg Tablets for Alzheimer's and I'm curious about others' experiences. This medication is supposed to help with memory and thinking, but I'm experiencing some side effects. Are there any alternative treatments anyone has tried with success? My doctor mentioned that muscle cramps and trouble sleeping were common, but I also have some abdominal discomfort. My biggest worry is the serious side effects listed, especially since I've heard some horror stories. Has anyone experienced anything like that? Or is it worth it to continue the medication despite the discomfort? Any tips on managing the side effects would be appreciated.
