Cognitive enhancers... Is anything proven to work?

Posted by TriedEveryDrug on December 23, 2009, at 17:33:09

I have tried various things that allegedly improve cognition one way or another. (I probably have some cognitive impairment either from ADD or bpII, but I'm talking about things that improve cognition in healthy people)

Aricept - did absolutely nothing for me.
Piracitam - nothing
Provigil - nothing
Stims - made my cognition worse!
PhosphatidylSerine - one brand (NeuroPS) seemed to work for about two weeks... then poop. (other brands, like GNC, did jack)
Omega-3 fish oil - nada


Does anyone know -- has anything been proven to improve cognition, let's say in otherwise healthy people?

In the research I have done, various compounds have studies that claim various improvements... but maybe these studies are flawed somehow or another. I always keep my eye out for new studies and what not, but I'm starting to think this notion of being able to enhance cognition via some drug or nutrient is bunk...

Thanks
