Actually it is virtually impossible to find Vasopressin now, as this was the porcine derived nasal spray. Now it's meant to be replaced by Desmopressin, the synthetic source, but it isn't truly the same molecule, although it is being put to the same uses in the same way (i.e. diabetes incipidus, amnesia, memory imprinting and narcotics abuse etc). There's plently of sources for Desmopressin overseas, I don't know why it's a pain, nor that expensive at about $30 for 2.5ml, I guess it just depends on how often you use it. One doesn't actually think that because it gets prescribed that it becomes cheap or free?! I only mention that because I've come up against that before and then remind people about where do they think their 40% tax rate goes (or indeed insurance)...
My personal recommendation for you would be Centrophenoxine, it should help improve short term memory and indeed speed of recall, on the other hand if your goal is alertness (which in itself does affect memory) then one of the Eugeroics such as Modafinil or Adrafinil would be much preferred to a dinosaur like Adderall.
