Sorry to disappoint : Sorry to disappoint you, but we can't suggest specific medicines/ remedies without assessing the specific problems (including their intensity) that you are having. I doubt you'd really want us to guess, because then you'd say we don't know what we're talking about -- and you'd be right! so, please do see your doctor -- and/or a psychiatrist -- for a good evaluation and personalized suggestions.

Proper diagnosis: Is important first. Aricept and / or Namenda (memantine) are common. Supplements suggested are bcomplex vitamins, exercise, and mentally challenging games like sudoku, crossword and memory exercises. Important to find out if this due to a neurodegenerative disease or just age-related decline
