> In what ways is aricept helping? I have been contemplating this one too for concentration and brain fog. Is it helping any for hypomanic restlessness or depression?
Hi,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..
