Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Donepezil is a cholinergic drug and is one of commonly used drug for cognitive impairment, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The drug is helpful in reducing the progression of dementia and reduce the memory loss. Over all the drug is safe and can be taken without fear. Heaviness in head, drowsiness, sedation, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea etc are common side effects. If you develop either of these side effects then start with low doses and then increase the doses in about a week.

Thanks, Hope this helps you.

Take care
