Pam pointed me to this thread last night, and I'm sorry that I didn't get here sooner. We had Murphy on Anipryl for 30 days. We never saw any significant changes to justify leaving her on it. We could have gone with a higher dosage, but as you probably have figured out, it is not inexpensive, and our Murphy is a big dog (Lab). Murphy's symptoms mostly display themselves in being "lost" at times, facing a wall or a corner and acting as if she doesn't know what to do, excessive barking (at nothing), and some aggressive tendencies (rarely) that she never had before in regards to the other dogs, mainly Zipper for some reason. Murphy has no hearing at all and hasn't for a long time due to many, many ear problems over the years. She also has cataracts, and I feel that some of her aggressive tendencies are caused by her inability to see as clearly as before. For instance, she sometimes reacts loudly to the opening of the refrigerator door, which is about 6 ft from her bed.
I wish you much luck with Disney as you try this medication. Who knows, maybe you'll be in the half of the group that it helps.
