> your question is sort of odd, since aricept and anti-parkinson's meds are the opposite of each other. aricept is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (which breaks down acetylcholine) and is thus "cholinergic." Parkinson's meds are pretty much the exact opposite, they are either dopaminergic or anticholinergic.
My doctor mentioned both, so either way I am interested in finding out what other people's experiences are with either.
