Aricept and Namenda. What are some side effects?

Mom has taken Aricept for a little more that a year. She just started Namenda 10 days ago. She is MORE disoriented that before. I looked it up on the Internet and it says that this will go away in about a month. Can anyone assure me that this will happen? I'm worried that it won't.

My wife has been on namenda 10 Mg twice a day and aricept 10 Mg/day for 2 years no side effects but I am not sure if the medication is still working. She has early onset alz stage 6.

My mother-in-law got diarrhea really bad on Aricept so her Dr. switched her to Namenda, and since the switch no more problems with that. Haven't heard of your moms type of problem, but then everyone is different.
