Aricept to Treat ADHD in Bipolar Adolescents

Posted by pencoyd on January 7, 2002, at 16:30:56

I've have heard a some anecdotal evidence of the efficacy of using Aricept as an adjunct medication with mood stabilizers in adolescents who are bipolar and also suffer from ADHD or impaired execiutive functions. Aricept is suppose to be benign and has a very low chance of setting of a manic episode unlike stimulants such as adderall.

I would be interested in hearing from families or individuals who have tried this combination of drugs successfully

I have bipolar and ADHD. I think that I am just as much an adolescent at 41 as I was at 14. Thanks for that information. I would be interesting in *trying* Aricept.
