Has anyone had any luck using acetylcholinesterase inhibitors like razadyne/ aricept to improve cognitive function?

I'd be willing to try it out of pocket if it works.

I was misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis instead of the correct diagnosis of brainstem stroke. I had been on Copaxone for the four years of my misdiagnosis. About the fifth week of taking Copaxone, I developed a almost constant head tremor. (Dystonic No-No) It appeared as if I was shivering or repetitively shaking my head no very quickly.
