Medications and Alternative Therapies for Memory Memory loss is a very common concern, and many drugs and substances have been developed and promoted to address this concern. Among the most promising are Donepazil, a drug that helps prevent the breakdown of acetylcholine, a brain cell communication chemical. Phosphatidylserine, a substance the body manufactures. Vitamin E, thought to be an antioxidant. This vitamin and donepazil will soon be tested in a three-year National Institute on Aging study on mild cognitive impairment, a condition with memory deficit, but not dementia.
