My husband has issues with excessive salivation on donepezil. Unsure if taking it is helping or not at this point.

Hello: I am a LBD with Parkinsonism patient. I have had drooling problems for quit sometime. I also take donepezil. We arent sure if it is the donezepil contributing to it or just a natural progression of the diseases.
My neurologist did tell me if the dose is too high (no more than 10mg/day) there could be some worsening or the drooling.

How long has your husband been on donezepil?
For me it took a couple of weeks to feel results.

I’m curious to hear what the neurologist says as I also have similiar problems. Always good to know others experiences.

Peace
Larry H.
