@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!

1 ReactionMy 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.

1 ReactionMy husband was not able to take the drug. He stayed nauseated and dizzy to the point he could not function for two weeks. The doctor stopped it and put him on Memantine.
Does memantine work? No one has mentioned it tobus
My husband got dizzy when he was taking the memantine pills but is doing fine with the patches. I don’t think it helps very much.
