Guest guest Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 My DAN Dr. recommended we try this with our son but I decided against it. I have chosen not use pharmaceuticals with my son. I came really close to trying it but there just have not been enough studies done yet proving the effectiveness of this drug on children with Autism. If you decide to try it would you keep us posted on his progress? Good luck and God bless. aricept Has anyone heard of children with autism using the drug, Aricept, to increase language?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yes I actually visited a Dr. In Chicago and brought the info back to our Dr. In Florida. We also decided not to try because it was so new for being used for kids on the spectrum them main use then was for Alzheimer's. I do know that many other kids within that Dr. Office did use it and like everything else some had great success and others saw no difference.Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerrySender: sList Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:15:59 -0400To: <sList >ReplyTo: sList Subject: Re: aricept My DAN Dr. recommended we try this with our son but I decided against it.
