I whole heartedly agree with most of the above advice.. I am also on other meds ( Wellbutrin, Klonopin) and adding another to the mix like Adderall/ Ritalin on a consistant basis would just be plain stupid.. especially b/c I am at a a stable point in my life.
But, I am taking a huge load of classes ( Calculus, Organic chem, Anatomy/Physio, Physics) ( I started taking pre-med yrs ago , never finished and now I am coming back to it) ..
Suffice to say you forget alot of the general chemistry , microbiology , etc. over the course of a few years . So basically I was wondering if the amphetimines could help in an "emergency situation" , not as an everyday thing..
But I have also been a regular pot smoker for a few years ( I am in the process of quitting .. was impossible before b/c my live in girlfriend smoked 24/7.. but we are now broken up now) .
So my short term memory is definitely not the greatest..
Since the amphetimine route does not seem so wise, does anyone have any suggestions on othe med/supplements that could help my memory ( or at least get it back to bewfore I was a pot head?)
I have heard that boron, L-Carnitine, and something called Huperzine-A all could help .. of oh course ginko ( but I heard that doesn't work)
Anyway, sorry for the book long post, just trying to get some info and this forum is good for that ..
