First off, thank you for posting your experiences.
I am trying to find out about anti-Acetylcholine inhibitors, like Aricept or Galantamine. I am currently taking Ritilin, Wellbutrin XL, celexa, and buspar. As you can see I have other issues besides ADHD but all issues except for impulsive behavior (like cussing for no reason at my wife) or getting overly angry. Also major deficits in memory, short term memory mainly.I understand that Aricept or Galantamine can help with focus, executive functioning, and impulsive behavior? would this work for a healthy young individual? How does this drug work? could the effects be enhaced by taking Choline? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choline
What other medications enhance memory? or ability to learn? and memorize?

Hi don't recognize your name are you new to babble? If so welcome a wealth of knowledge here. I've heard that requip and even the new Deplin helps with depression and memory. May want to post on neurotransmitters board too as it's a complicated topic. If not new apologize. Phillipa

Be carefull when combining choline supplements with acetylcholinsterase inhibitors. Hyperactive cholinergic function can cause a number of nasty side effects (ie irritability, anxiety, insomnia etc).
If cholinergic function gets too high, it can cause a form of depression.
