T:Anyone who has experience with <medication>?	

Q:Hi! I am seeking advice from anyone who has experience with <medication>. 
My Mother has not been formally diagnosed with Dementia but she does have bad short term memory and she is aware she does. 
She recently spent <time_period> in <institution> with <num> blood clots and just got home from <time_period> of physical therapy at our local <institution>. 
She is diabetic and having to take <medication>,  has ulcerative colitis,  and severe osteoarthritis in both knees. 
She is <age> old. 
I just switched her to a new PCP who we saw on <day> and just casually said Mom could use some memory pills just to get his reaction. 
He immediately prescribed <medication>. 
Her previous PCP just said to have her take a Vitamin B Complex and dismissed anything other than that for her forgetfulness. 
I've read about some bad side effects and now I am not so sure I even want to start her on this med! I would sure appreciate anyone's opinion as I am just on the fence about her taking this drug right now. 

A:Thank you so much for your reply. 
My one worry about this medicine is the side effect of an upset stomach. 
Her ulcerative colitis has been under control for <time_period> with not one flare up so I don't want anything to change that. 
She is continuing to get physical therapy at home for several weeks and I think I will wait for her to get stronger before starting her on the <medication>. 
Thanks again,  your reply has been very helpful.
