Hi there,
Are you still on Aricept?
Can you tell me how it helped your BP exactly and if it addressed both depressive and manic symptoms? Also, are you on any other meds in addition to the Aricept?
I have had nothing but trouble with meds thus far and my doc and I are at a loss. He suggested Aricept as a last ditch effort and also thinks it could help my OCD and hypervigilent brain.
Any info on your experiences is MUCH appreciated.
Thank you,
Jen

> I've been turned hypomanic on lamotrigine, risperdal, wellbutrin and nardil... My assumption is that dopamine release is somehow involved as these drugs all seem to influence it.. Anywayz, aricept significantly helped my depression, motivation and anxiety.. but it was 'activating'.. it didnt make me agitated per se, but more in the lines of causing strong insomnia and a loss of appetite... but id definately try it if i were u! it did improve my cognition somewhat and took me outta a deep dark depression relatively quickly..
