Yes. Nausea and vomiting can be side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors and donepezil (donetaz) is one of the cholinesterase inhibitors. It would be advisable to start at a lower dose which is available as Donepezil 5 mg tablet. There are other alternatives too. Please discuss with your doctor who prescribed it or you contact me for further advise.

Dear Johan,
It is good that you have accepted your condition and ready to live with it. But your family may find it difficult to accept your memory loss. Living like a zombie and brain fog is due to parkinson and NOT a side effect of Donecept. Please talk to your family members about your walking, talking, remembering, constipation and other behaviour. No need to talk about treatment, allopathy or natural.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Excess saliva can be a side effect of medications, such as tranquilizers, epilepsy drugs and anticholinesterases, often used in treatment of early dementia, such as donepezil (aricept). Some diseases also cause excess saliva, especially parkinson's disease and some strokes.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
