My neurologist would not prescribe any of the drugs used for Alzheimers as he said it is not FDA approved for anyone except people with Alzheimers. One of his specialty areas is memory disorders and in particular Alzheimers. I know some people who had ECT have psychiatrists who have prescribed it even for when they are getting ECT. I don't know if it really works. I decided to go the Vitamin route and take extra Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. My neurologist also said exercise as he said it helps get more blood to the brain. He said reseach shows that Alzheimers patients who take meds do better, but with one group where they added arobic exercies daily, those people did even better. He said exercise helped to consolidate brain connections better than the meds. So, I need to make a committment to walk every day and then maybe bike ride as the weather improves.
