Looking at adding some Bacopa to my stack as I have been hearing good things about it.
What results have people got from it?

Does it cause excessive sleep?

Yeah... its called icariin (HGW) rather than Bacopa. Longjack and maca are a little similar but not Bacopa. Then again never tried Bacopa.
Sedates like benzo... yuk.... just ordered it.

Was this what you were talking about? (first post)Edit: One thing I'm noticing is that many people are seeing less of an effect from the Bacopa products standardized to 50% Bacosides A/B. This may be because there are other active bacosides, and perhaps there are still other active constituents in the plant. The effect is also dose-dependent, however past a certain point there will quite possibly be negative effects. I believe I read that oxidation of Glutathione was reduced with low/moderate dosage, and slightly increased at high doses. This was in a thread on this forum (recently) - so do some searching and you'll find the study.

How would you say bacopa fairs against other, more well known memory enhancers like hydergine or the racetams? It'd be interesting to know since to my understanding bacopa is legal here in EU whereas most other nootropics require prescription.Its awesome, and its effects on memory are well documented in multiple studies. I agree you should take it before bed. The memory effects are cumulative and long-term. The anxiolytic effects were mild for me, but present.

Icariin = active ingredient of epimedium (HGW). You might want to be careful that it doesn't slow down your Thyroid T4-T3 conversion. I've read that this can happen, pushing the Reverse T3 up. It's unclear whether this is the result of the Icariin or something else in the HGW (if the latter, then a 99% Icariin might be good). There are some other conflicting sources of information stating that it will boost thyroid activity.

I tried Brahmi ( Bacopa M ), found that, its effect was like a herbal anticonvulsant.
I felt relaxed after taking Brahmi, almost the same like when I took a smart-drug Dilantin ( Phenytoin ) 100mg, an anticonvulsant with no sedative effect.

Thanks for the responses. I have ordersd some, but still not got it though yet.
So taking it at night would have nootopic benifits the following day? I'm not sure how the mechanics of it work cognitively after searching. Does it stack well with the racetams or should it be one or the other?

Has anyone else had the experience that Bacopa's effects wore off after extended use? (I'm especially concerned about the anxiolytic properties wearing off over time.)

It did not wear of completely but I felt it got weaker (or maybe my anxiety had gotten stronger). I also found that the low motivation from it got stronger over time...
