Joan; My wife (66/6) has taken Aricept (10 mg per da) since 1/13/97, she also takes 4 sinemet 50/200 CR, 1 trazodone 50mg and 1 prempro. The prempro started 3/12/97. Her energy level and awareness has increased noticeable in the last 2-3 weeks although that was about the time the snow left too. I wish your mother good results . Don,
