My mom was on Aricept for a short while. She had too many side effects from the drug and didn't see any improvement (probably because she had hippocampal sclerosis dementia, not Alzheimer's).
Depending on the type of Alzheimer's disease though, I can think it make sense to try Aricept or other nootropic drugs though. Even a few months of delayed progress can make a big difference to the patient and their family.
