Piracetam is one of the first smart drugs, super cheep and pretty much side effect free. Some nootropics are expensive but many can be purchased in bulk from body building sites like bulknuitrition or bodybuilding.

I was taking that stuff… you know… damnit, ‘ru, help me out here… the stuff, the “brain stuff”… God! that pill… what’s it called again, man?

Blotter or microdots?

Bingo!

Ginko=crap

Never worked for me.

Be careful to any Joe shcmoe can manufacturer it, but this kind of thing is not regulated so they can put dirt in the pill and call it Ginko. There might be some legitimate companies out there, but I have yet to find one. Might be why Ginko never worked for me. I tried Natures Miracle and some others I cannot remember right now.

This is a good topic though.

Ask your pharmacist for a standardized brand. They really put in what they claim.

If you are having trouble with your memory, there might be some pills or supplements you can take. I’m not sure of what they’re called, but iamru might know…

For me, it was mostly four-way window pane, but lots of blotter too.

Gingko works well for me. Give it a try.

chupicabra,

In your case I would suggest fresh goats blood.

Yeeeessssssssssss!!

Uh I think its different in the states. The pharmacist are no help here.

Here to tell you I have tried Vinpocetine and other so called memory improvement herbs with no effect.

I would recommend if you have insurance discussing your memory loss with your MD. If they dont take you seriously, see another doctor. Get your B-vitamin levels checked. Some people have thyroid problems and cannot absorb B-vitamins normally. This can have a huge effect on memory.

Also watch your diet! Do yourself a favor if your really worried about your memory check into a low Glycemic diet. Go for complex carbohydrates. Although I have found this incredibly tough because its costly, you will most likely have to shop at a health food store exclusively like whole foods.

Their is a lot of crap in everyday food that can according to research kill brain cells. Examples are MSG which is rebranded or renamed as maltodextrin and other incarnations. These can be found in common everyday foods such as Dorritos, soups, pasta sauce, etc, etc. Do a search on this if your really interested.

Honestly though I have not seen much of a difference from following such a diet. I have also noted incredibly intellegent people who eat junk food at every meal!

But it may be worth a try.

The doctor might be able to subscribe Aricept which has been shown to greatly help Alzheimers patience and is now being perscribed for healthy adults suffering from memory problems. I am going to try this once I am able to get health insurance again.

Hope this helps.
