Dear Rosemary-- Aricept is not really a PD drug, but one fairly new for Alzheimer's that some neurios areusing for PD also. There have been several posts re: positive experiences of PWPs with it, and I also recall one warning post re: a bad experience. Peter's neuro gave him a Rx for it, but we haven't started it yet--will do so CAUTIOUSLY and report the results. Bottom line, ask your neuro, I think.
