My main "problem" is memory. Can drugs like Aricept help?

It might. It kind of depends on what kind of memory problems you have and what caused them. If you give some background information, you might get a more definitive answer from someone.

Renee,
Have you tried Ginkgo Biloba? It's an herb available in health food stores and most drug stores now. Just following the general instructions of 40mg 3x per day, my mother has gotten very good results for her memory and energy level (and she's 70). It's supposed to increase libido also, which is an added bonus.

I miss appointments, leave things behind, lose track of my thoughts, have trouble finding the word I need quickly, have trouble with attention to detail, flit from one activity to the next before finishing the first, drift though unplanned time aimlessly, etc. The AD's help me to be less upset by all of this , but don't really do anything for the ADHD symptoms.
I hope this helps. Maybe Cam knows something about this subject. If I've already posted about this a while back, please forgive me, as my memory sucks! ;^) Renee N
