Okay, I mentioned to my new pdoc today, "It's trendy among some psychopharmacologists these days to try augmenting Aricept for executive dysfunction associated with ADD."
He responded, "I'm not trendy, I go by the book [I imagine the PDR, since he kept opening it up to make sure my doses were in line with the averages].
Well, aside from the idea that "trendy" just means a doctor keeps up to date with trends in medicine, and if all docs were like him there would be no PDR, um, the studies I've read noted a 25% efficacy in patients with executive dysfunction associated with ADD.
I've heard some on this board go "I take 5mg of Aricept + a stimulant at X dose." Did you notice a difference once you added the Aricept, or skipped a day of it, or something????
