Has anybody tried the Alzheimer's drug Exelon to treat their TBI induced memory problems?

Cheers

Exelon works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical called acetylcholine. This is a common issue with AD patients. Even among the Alzheimer's Disease community, Exelon has mixed results.

If the PCS subject has a problem with acetylcholine, Exelon may be helpful.

The limited research does not support its use for PCS from what I could find.
