If you are taking it, has it helped? What are the side effects you have experienced?
So far, after 2 weeks on it, I'm nauseated a lot and very tired and some muscle cramping. I'm waiting to see if this goes away and to see if it is helping my memory.

I started taking Aricept after my TBI in 2008, but discontinued it. I was so involved in Cognitive Therapy I just neglected it. Now my neuropsychiatrist has started me on it again, I'm up to 10mg/day and feel it is doing something good. The doc says a 23mg dose is the goal. I hope I don't have some of the serious side effects, so far all has been well.
