Are Weakness And Unresponsiveness Considered To Be Side Effects Of Donepezil Or Coversyl?
My husband is 86 yrs. old and has Alzheimer s. He was quite alert this morning but after breakfast has become very detached, unresponsive and much weaker than earlier.. he has slept in the sun for about an hour.. I am wondering if this is a side effect of the TevaDonepepezil or Coversil that he takes every morning. Any info would be helpful... everything he takes apart from those are Vitamins..Mary C?
