Default Re: "He as well as I ..." or "He as well as me..."

"myself" is reflexive. It must refers back to a noun or pronoun.

EX: The cat cleaned itself.
EX: I helped myself to the food.
EX: You hurt yourself, didn't you?

Reflexives myself, yourself, himself, herself, and so on cannot function on their own, and the reason "myself" is ungrammatical in this sentence:

EX: He as well as myself ... <ungrammatical>
