> Well I'm back on clomipramine. It just works so well for a lot of things that are going on in my life, from dystonia to OCD. But it really affects my memory - a reason why I have discontinued it before on numerous occasions as my work involves remembering a lot of things. However, for the sake of my emotional and physical wellbeing I guess I'm going to have to sacrifice something. No silver bullet for me.
> Still, has anyone tried to take anything for their cognition when on tricyclics or other anticholinergic medication? I'm looking for real experiences. I've tried some supps (phosphatidylserine, low dose piracetam, choline) but they aren't that effective, or maybe I haven't found the right one.

Sorry, Ikaros. I don't have any personal experience with the following agents:Cholinesterase inhibitors like Aricept (donepezil)?
Pilocarpine? I mention this drug only because it is an acetylcholine muscarinic receptor agonist. I don't know if it has ever been used to remediate anticholinergic cognitive side effects. Perhaps it is worth a quick look.
