A member asked:
Can you take aricept (donepezil) at the same time as risperdal?

Potential issues: There is a potential drug interaction due to metabolic pathways through the liver, but a far bigger issue is risk of Risperdal in elderly pts with cognitive issues, and this includes transient ischemic attacks, strokes, heart issues, and increased risk of death. Perhaps a different drug should be selected in a different category. You need to have a conference with doc, and decide med.
