In reply to @21, My doc has me on Aricept for ADD/Exec. Dysfct, posted by utopizen on June 10, 2005, at 18:00:47
Hi. Took it. Liked it, both for AD and cognitive effects. It made my face burn, but I decided that I would live with that. But it also raised my liver enzymes. So I stopped it.
> Yup, anyone else on Aricept for ADD/Executive Dysfunction?

> Exec Dysfunction is ADD's common attribute, where the frontal lobes, the "exective" region, fail to have mental flexibility, and have difficulty in arranging tasks in a rational way.

> I just started 2 weeks ago, and it takes weeks, and I'm only on 5mg 1x/day. I also take Desoxyn, 20mg a day, for ADD, Klonopin for social anxiety, 1mg 3x/day, and Lexapro 30mg/day for depression.

> It was my idea, but I told my doc to look into the literature. It's really cutting-edge, and only in the last few years have patients been tried it in studies here and there.
