> No, not Aricept, but EXELON and REMINYL (galantamine). Exelon is quite depressiogenic for me. But Reminyl works a little bit for depression and cognitive performance for me (it is the only one, as far as I know, that also stimulates the acethylcholine-system; have a look at pubmed).
> I sometimes use Reminyl to get relief from central anticholinergic symptoms I sometimes get, like the ones from a recent Ritalin tryout. The anticholinergic rebound is pretty ugly for me. Reminyl blew them away within a hour. Maybe this revealed some information....a little add-on:
I recently found out, that Galantamine is also a potent vasodilator and effetive for vascular dementia. Ritalin is known to be a potent vasoconstrictor. hmm, so it might be a vascular problem I have. picamilone will bring light into this.. (this would explain A LOT)
