Abstract
Despite well-documented improvement in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in youths with the available single and combined pharmacologic agents, a number of youths remain with residual symptomatology causing impairment in multiple domains. Recent work has suggested a potential cognitive-enhancing role of cholinergic agents in ADHD. We describe five cases of ADHD youths aged 8-17 years being treated for ADHD with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor donepezil (Aricept), all of whom demonstrated improvement.Entities:
