Thank you all.

The idea of taking this with food and in the evening is good.  Tomorrow's
dose will follow dinner.

I went over tonight and took him some pepto and also made him a grilled
cheese - very lightly grilled.  He felt better.  This is just his second day
on the drug.  He can't remember why he's taking it and not very happy with
the upset to his system.  I did decide to keep his pills with me and
administer them each day myself.  I even wrote on the package the date and
time of his first dose.  I'm really new to this.  Although I've been helping
my Dad for a few years now it's been fairly minor.  Until recently he's been
able to fix his own daily pills in a week at a time box and I just check
from time to time to see if he's taking them.  I've also been keeping his
prescriptions filled for him and taking care of his finances for him.  He
can't do anything with numbers.

My hope is that I can continue to convince him to take this drug.  We won't
know if it will help him unless he continues to take it.  He goes back to
his doctor in one month.  He still does not believe there's any thing wrong
with his memory but he is thinking about it, I can tell.

I'm so glad I checked to see if this group exhisted.  I know I'm going to
need you.  I'm still looking for a local support group.  Hoping to find
something here.  I'm beginning to feel very frightened.

I'll introduce myself properly in another post.

Thanks again - Barbara H

Evelyn , by the way, I read your post in ASD - I appreciate your good sense
approach.  I'm having a hard time controling my bg with the latest turn of
events.  I guess it will get better.
