Exelon 9.5mg/24h Patch: Personal Experiences and Side Effects

#Alzheimer's #Dementia #Parkinson's #Rivastigmine #Medication

I've been using the Exelon 9.5mg/24h Patch for a few months now to help manage my mother's Alzheimer's symptoms. It seems to be helping with her memory and thinking, but I've noticed some side effects like dizziness and stomach upset. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues or has any tips for managing them. Also, has anyone had to deal with the more serious side effects like seizures or skin irritation? I'd love to hear your experiences and any advice you might have.

My mom had really bad nausea at the beginning but we did a light diet with her doctor's approval and it got better

I noticed that the patch works better when applied to a relatively hairless area of the skin.

I've had to deal with some skin irritation but applying hydrocortisone cream helped.

I've been using the patch for awhile now and haven't had any major issues. Just some dizziness but it goes away after a bit.

I wish I'd known about the skin irritation side effect sooner. Maybe someone should have warned me

I know it might sound weird but I thought the patch was too small and easy to lose the first time I had to use it.
