Hello All!
Just received my adrafinil yesterday, started today. My situation is this, I ordered the adrafinil from Nu-brain, however, it didn't meet the $60.00 minimum order. I looked around mostly for the cheapest nootropic(sp?) and found lucidril, which also arrived yesterday. I've found quite a few positive articles on this drug, but haven't seen anything here. I found this in one of my findings:
My own experience is with piracetam, centrophenoxine (Lucidril), and
vasopressin (Diapid). Piracetam might have had some effects, but made my
eyes so red on the days that I took it that I decided it was not worth
continuing. Vasopressin, as Max said, is mainly useful when the brain's
supply of neurotransmitters is either depleted (following a caffeine or
other stimulant binge) or suppressed (by alcohol or other CNS depressant)
-- I consider it the long-sought "sober-up" treatment.Centrophenoxine gave me the most dramatic results -- I did not measure
them by any kind of psychometric tests, but I felt more alert, and
experienced faster and more reliable recall than previously. Since
Lucidril works by making a permanent brain change (enabling brain
metabolism to remove life-long accumulations of the aging pigment
lipofuscin from the neurons), its effects are cumulative -- you continue
to feel sharper even after you quit taking the drug.This came from this site:
http://www.damicon.fi/sd/megabrain.report.txtI also started the lucidril today, since there seems to be no interaction problems. Hopefully, there are no weight loss side effects, since I was so depressed the past three weeks that I wouldnt allow myself to eat, resulting in a roughly 17lb weight loss. I really can't afford to lose much more. My depression has since lifted, which is good, because along with not eating, thanksgiving(also my birthday) was going to be my d-day. I am taking the adrafinil for both depression/ADD. I was hoping the Lucidril would help with my ADD.
I was just curious about anyone elses experiences. I will post mine if anybody is interested, although taking both together might make it tough to tell which is working. I have seen that adrafinil takes a while to work though.
Hope all are well!
Michele
