My husband has vascular dementia. would he benefit from taking aricept or should he take amolodopine?

Amlodipine is for high blood pressure which is the underlying problem of vascular dementia so he has to continue with that for BP control. Aricept is less likely effective but sometimes we give it a trial. Good luck.

The traditional medications for mixed dementias or vascular dementias provide modest benefits, but are worth a try. Consider rivastigmine or galantamine, and certainly use a stroke preventative in addition. An experienced neurologist can guide your treatment.
