What Causes Heaviness In The Head While On Aricept Patch?
I have been on the Aricept Patch for about 2 years or more. I have begun to experience a fullness in my head that became so overwhelming that I discontinued the Patch and the fullness in my head abated for a couple of days but it seems to be returning.

Hello,
* It is the Acetylcholine Esterase inhibition action of the Aricept which is responsible for headache and other CNS symptoms on long term use.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
