      Treatments

      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      this medicine calmed my husb. Made him much less agitated. His mood was more pleasant
      Aricept Somewhat Helpful
      I do not know. I asked the Dr. what he thought. He said my husb should keep taking it, because his symptoms could be much worse if he stopped. I did not want to take that risk.
