In reply to ADHD: Aricept/Namenda vs. Provigil, posted by mike99 on December 23, 2005, at 20:05:08
I don't have ADHD per se, but I have had some distractability associated with my anxiety and depression.
I found provigil stimulating. I liked the mood brightening, but it tired me out after a while. It promoted things like chatting and closet cleaning. If you decide to try it, at least it won't be in your system for too long.
Aricept seemed to promote focus and clarity of thought for me as well as acting as an AD. It was neither activating nor sedating. The cardiovascular effect was lowered heart rate.
I take memantine now. At my current dose it's neither particularly activating nor sedating and doesn't seem to have cardiovascular effects. I was tired and loopy on it at higher doses.
YMMV.
