... terrible side effects, terrible depression so we have stopped the drug and wonder if that is the right thing to do. She was being sick and feeling nauseous appetite gone and has lost a lot of weight. Also dementia signs seem to have increased dramatically.
Was anyone taken off Exelon and what side effects were felt when stopped?
