I think everyone should read this!I hadn't at all till I read your post but the post on "need help sleeping" references provigil for sleep and the article you posted references it for alertness. I looked around and found a university site with some real straightforward easy to understand information One thing ADHD is good for is the intuition to run good google searches lol http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/smartd.html
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/1997/int/970505/science.sh ould_we_jus.html
I did a google search using "smart drugs" and another seperate search using "cognative enhancers". One of the returned links sparked my interest a great deal. http://nootropics.com/ which is about a book called SMART DRUGS 2 THE NEXT GENERATION. There is a lot of information presented but what i found most interesting was this. [quote] One possible solution to this dilemma involves taking a cholinergic agent such as piracetam (Nootropil) or aniracetam (Draganon, Ampamet) that also enhances dopamine function. Yet some smart drugs, such as piracetam, really do seem to be at worst pretty innocuous. Agents such as the alpha-1 adrenergic agonist adrafinil (Olmifron) typically do have both mood-brightening and intellectually invigorating effects. Adrafinil, like its chemical cousin modafinil (Provigil), promotes alertness, vigilance and mental focus; and its more-or-less pure CNS action ensures it doesn't cause unwanted peripheral sympathetic stimulation. [/quote] My question is this. Has anyone looked into alternative medications such as the ones presented in that link? Such as piracetam (Nootropil) aniracetam(Draganon, Ampamet) adrafinil(Olmifron) or modafinil (Provigil). Now, im not a child, im 29 years old and have had concerta/ritalin for 3 years, but after some reading about the medicin it seem almoust to good to be true. If this doctor say it has been used for over ten years and works good, so why dont ppl in sweden (where I live) get it. Instead ppl with ADD/ADHD gets Concerta as a first choice...then, after you try it for a while, the doctors are willing to discuss other options as dextroamfetamin and noradrenalin stimulant medicin. but I never even heard of this one.... WHY? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracetam |
