slight Newb q's

acoli's Photo acoli 16 Feb 2006

I am a little new to nootriopics, though I have done some research. Well I have 3 q's.

1. Have any of you heard about Brain Lightning, its basically a mix of vitamins and some nootropics, is it really the ultimate enhancer.

2. I wanted some suggestions pertainng to the things I want to improve. I am ina a debilitating mental state, having much worse cognitive abilities than before, specifically relating to working memory though i am still young. So I was wondering which nootropics would be useful in particular for an organized mind, and visualization and visual memory ability specifically.

3. Would axiracetam (sp), Bacopa, and deprenyl be good? are there any much better nootropic(s) for the above traits I'd like to improve/ or at least restore to my earlier abilities? Reason I want these traits better is because I nned them for my academic pursuits, and I most likely have a right hemispheric dysfunction, at least currently though my visuo-spatial abilities are still good, but not as good as I feel they should be.

Thanks a lot, looking foward to replies, hope I didn't sound pretentious at all, its just this is my first post and all...

It's too basic to consider in my opinion for a real nootropic effect.

Do you know the cause of your debilitating mental state? Have you spoken to or been diagnosed by a doctor for a specific health concern?

3. Would axiracetam (sp), Bacopa, and deprenyl be good? are there any much better nootropic(s) for the above traits I'd like to improve/ or at least restore to my earlier abilities?

Several nootropics can benefit the areas you have indicated need improvement, but a more through understanding of what is causing your problems is a start.

I was recently depressed somewhat though hypomanic as well(bipolar), so that is probably the cause. I cannot think about something in an organized fashion, and therefore have not exerted my mind in months. I cannot muster any creativity beyond silliness, and can just plain not think.
