I've googled this word to try to learn what nootropics are...

I'm still a little unclear exactly... it looks like some herbal supplements are nootropics.

I've taken L-Carnitine, Phosphatidylserine, CDP Choline before I was prescribed the HRT and I seem to remember liking the effects of them.

This thread is making me read about these things again and I'm considering taking them all again... with the approval of my Dr.'s, of course.

Edit to Add: I was just reading about some of these supplements on Dr. Ray Sahelian's website, which I've found to be a wealth of reliable information about supplements over the last few years (since the concussion). Anyway, he says patients with hormone imbalances (like me) need to be especially careful when taking supplements and recommends avoiding it altogether... maybe that's why I stopped in the first place?
