A member asked:
Does taking celexa along with aricept (donepezil) lessen the effectiveness of the aricept (donepezil)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No- it does not: These two medications employ different mechanisms. They will not interfere with each other. It is unusual for a person to use both medications because it is difficult to diagnose a mood disorder in the setting of Alzheimers disease.
