hello, chemist here. a little problem with galantamine: it is not a cholinesterase inhibitor, rather acetylcholinesterase. as you should be aware, there is quite a difference. you will excarebate transmission at neuromuscular junction ACh, enhancing smooth-muscle function. you ought to try a true nootropic. all the best, chemist p.s. or at least a real cholinesterase inhibitor, not an ACh-I.
> Yeah, I should've mentioned that instead of simply hinting that it should be combined with an AD. I surmise that for BP1 folks who spend a lot of time at the manic end of the spectrum, cholinesterase inhibitors could be especially useful.
