I was scribed aricept for a mild nuerocognitive disorder. The second day I was on it I has seizure like symptoms. I stopped for a day and the symptoms got better. I took it again for one night and the seizures came back. I went to the emergency room and they said that I was having a severe Migraine. My nuerologist scribed clonopin which seemed to clear up the post symproms after about a week. I have had extrapyramydal symptoms before on medications like cymbalta and Elavil. I have been scribed clonopin for that as well and that has cleared up the EPS as well over time. I have a friend who mom had pre-parkinson symptoms and I was told she had very similar reactions to aricept.
