@lg2688 Yes, dizziness, nausea, vomiting are all side effects to Aricept. They will usually wear off in a short time. Here is a helpful page of information.

I hope the side effects don’t last too long!

My wife is on Aricept and Namenda. She takes Namenda twice a day. Because of possible side effects of Aricept, the doctor advised taking it at night. However, my wife did not appear to experience any expected side effects, although she still takes it at night before bed.
