> jWhy dont you try Medline? You can get into Medline from the first page of 'Psycho Tips.' Cylert is also 'pemoline'. The stuff is a stimulant; its main distinction is that it takes several hours to start working and continues to work longer than the other stimulants; it has less effect on your body as a whole; it accumulates; it can cause liver damage. Most say it is less effective than other stimulants; some find it a kinder, gentler stimulant--I did at first. Now, it does nothing for me most of the time; altho if I stay away from it for some time, it maay help me get some work done at a busier time. Some armed services use it with apparent success when men must remain awake and alert for long periods. It may or may not be useful for you; ther is no way to know without trying. It has not been much researched. Several countries havetaken it off the market on the grounds that it offers no advantage sufficient to overcome the risk to the liver. What we all want to know about drugs is what no research can tell us: How will it affect ME. I hope I've been somewhat helpful.
