In reply to Cognitive enhancers... Is anything proven to work?, posted by TriedEveryDrug on December 23, 2009, at 17:33:09
Well you are talking about healthy people. I have only studied what helps ill people. In that category the following come to mind, though I know there are others I am not recalling at this time.
Hydergine.
Trials of the "other" racitams, they each of unique qualities and synergies.
Savella.
Siberian Ginseng tincture...give it 3 months.
Cordyceps.
Bacopa.
Gotu Kola.
Rhodiola.
Wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free food choices (eat for health instead of pleasure).
Low Dose Naltrexone.
Japanese Knotwood (with its Resveratrol).
Trials of DLPA, Tyrsoine...if neuros are being gobbled up too fast, none of the drugs or supplements have enough there to work with. Kinid of like trying to dam up a river or change the direction of the flow when the river has barely a trickle. Even a mere 100mg day DLPA can boost reserves a lot over several weeks.

> 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
