Aricept, like most psychotropics, wouldn't begin to have any effect for weeks. We're talking, in my case, 2-3 months.I happened to, when severely depressed, order some Huperzine-A. It made me quite nervous, and agitated, and even perspiration occured, the day I took it.
I really don't know how your post relates to Aricept at all, but wish the best of luck to you.
All I can say is, the herbs you listed are not indicators of Aricept's potential effect at all.
Aricept isn't even an indicator of drugs used for the same indication in dementia!
My golly, loose connections are fun, but, I think the post got a little too loose, if you know what I mean ;)
best of luck, and keep the faith in yourself-- meds only go half-way.
Aricept didn't make me complete. It's a 5mg pill made mostly with talc. I have friends, I have doctors that care about me, I go to therapy, I write poetry, I write prose, I ride my Cannondale, I get up at an early hour, I make a habit of doing work and never staying in the same spot too long. I read many books. I keep in touch with old friends.
Drugs only go half way. It's up to you to go the remainder, and I hope you find a drug that gets you to that point if you haven't already.
best of luck!
