Suggest Medication For Border Line Short Term Memory Loss

My husband has border line short term memory loss. Our dr prescribed donepezil. It made him worse with a number of side effects. I took him off the drug and I am now waiting for an appointment with a specialist. Time frame 2weeks. What is the best drug for him at this time.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, one thing for sure and that is to get it confirm the diagnosis, because this may not be memory loss, you have not stated the age of your husband it was necessary here, so I could think something age related, some psychological factor must be there, in my opinion better to have expert opinion from psychiatrist, take care.
I find this answer helpful
