For Alzheimer's Disease "I gave my 82-year-old mother 1 Rivastigmine 6 mg capsule, and I almost lost her. It started out with profuse sweating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Rushed to the hospital, she could not speak, arm spasms, confusion, hypothermia, sepsis, altered mental status, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. This medication almost was the end for my mother. It is poison!!!! It took a week for this medication to get out of her system. All I have to say: DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION/POISON!!!!"

Rivastigmine for Alzheimer's Disease "I used one month's worth of the 4.6 patches without any problems. I stepped up to the next level (I think 9.5) and immediately had headaches, nausea, and tardive dyskinesia. I went back down to the 4.6 level and now have constant headaches, nausea, and ringing in my ears."
