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 just started taking Aircept 5mg but I cut it in half probably not suppose to. I have noticed fatigue but that was nothing unusual. Tonight will be my 4th dose. I hope it helps with focusing and memory.

megrod,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

I would work on learning memory work-arounds rather than take Aricept. The doctor is taking a shot in the dark by prescribing it.

The memory problems from PCS are quite different than the memory problems from Alzheimer's Disease.

Tell us about your PCS. There is lots of great help here.

My best to you.
