In fact the two, Aricept and Namenda are recommended in combination.
I use 5 mg of Aricept versus the recommended 10. 10 overwelhms me. 5 works just fine. If you read the literature VERY carefully, in veiled language it will say that 10 doesn't always work much better than 5.
But, every person's body reacts differently, so I am glad the Namenda is helpful.

Part of the problem with meds for my mother is the fact she only weighs 69 pounds. She often can't handle adult doses, something doctors seem to forget.

I would look into the alternative therapys to pharmacutical treatment. Primarily to the fungal link to Altzhimers. Balance the body ph, make sure she has proper nutrition and throw in natural foods that are hard on fungus.
my bet is she will will get much better.
