"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."

"Donepezil works well in the morning. In the afternoon, it changes and makes me feel bloated, and sometimes I have a fast heart rate. I go to bed and wake up constantly, making it hard to get back to sleep."

"Disrupts sleep. Although effective. Also, dizziness on standing. Switched to huperzine A, 400 mg a day and ohhh my 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."
