I'm just reading through a lot of posts about a couple of drugs I was interested in trying.
A huge problem I now have had for several years is decreased cognitive function (impairment) and was assessed by a neurologist for it. No one seems to know why. The depression, ect.years ago, constant stress on and on.
I was looking at tianeptine specifically because I read about it helping cognitive impairment and memory problems and perhaps even reversing them. But alas I still have the overwhelming depression. Maybe I am better having less memory and sleeping most of the day.
The other option I was looking at was adrafanil. Years ago Parnate was the only AD that helped me. Ritalin helps a little now. Unfortunately I am not intelligent enough or have the cognitive skills to discern what to try now. Most stimulants help but I cannot take them because of another disease so perhaps adrafinil would be a bad choice? I have not read about Nicergoline before. At least I do not remember!!! It looks interesting for several reasons. It might not make good logic but my mother definitely suffers from dementia and most definitely caused at least in part by poor blood flow, she has arterial disease in her legs heart etc. I seem to have a lot of the same symptoms like lack of word retrieval that she does. I also have poor circulation in my extremities. They freeze quite quickly and I get no blood flow.
I am going to try the tianeptine. Just looking ahead at what I will probably need to try next
