We all have an inner voice. Mine currently has trust issues.
I lost something today and found myself saying in my head “where would I have put that? “And the response said “don’t ask her!”
That doubting voice has just cause to feel that way. I’ve been struggling with fatigue this week and it turns out I’ve been taking four tablets of a medication instead of two. No wonder I’ve felt so lethargic! It also means that Greg needs to control my medication going forward and that feels way too soon for that to be the case.
I let the GP know and he is getting my medications blister packed in the future.
We also discussed and have agreed to begin Donepezil (Aricept®) next week.
This is the blurb on the medication from Health Navigator.
Donepezil is in a class of medications called cholinesterase inhibitors. It is used to treat dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. Donepezil helps to ease the symptoms of mild to moderate dementia in Alzheimer's disease, such as memory loss, but does not cure it. Donepezil works by increasing the amount of a chemical in the brain called acetylcholine, which is known to be lower in people suffering from dementia in Alzheimer's disease.
