How Can Donepezil Be Withdrawn?
Dear Sir , My wife has been on Donepezil HCL for a long period for memory loss occasionally. She has developed loose stools and has seen a Gastro Dr. We never discussed the side effects of this drug. I would like to take her off this Med. Her blood test s taken are all normal and Blader & Kidney fuction OK based on recent test . Can I take her off this med? concerned Husband?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I advise you to reduce the dosage of the drug first and slowly stop the drug but alternative medication should be used instead of Donepezil so kindly consult your physician for the prescription.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
