My father has only been on aricept for a short time, only about a week. Last night he woke up trying to figure out where he was and how to get out of a house that he has lived in for 46 years. Is this a normal side effect of aricept and if so, doesn't the treatment kind of defeat the purpose when the disease itself takes your mind from you gradually. This is the first time anything like this has happened to my daddy.
