"Have been taking Donepezil HCL (started at 5 mg, now on 10 mg). Very helpful in coping with Mild Cognitive Impairment. It has helped memory recall and has allowed me to live a normal life. Side effect 'nose drips' requires me to blow my nose frequently."

"Disrupts sleep. Although effective. Also dizziness on standing. Switched to huperzine a 400mg a day and ohhh myyy God. I am 100%better. Memory focus sleep like a baby. Try huperzine A first. It is the only acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used in China and it is affordable online as an herbal supplement."
