This supplement is enhancing your neurotransmitter acetycholine , which is lacking in alzheimers, Lewey Body Dementia and possibly lacking in late stage pd in some patients. But if you are not lacking acetycholine, i would advise you to not take this supplement, Acetycholine, in excess, is toxic; it's an excitatory drug, used in chemical weaponry and can paralyze your heart. It's important to balance acetylcholine with dopamine and other neurotransmitters. It is not a given that pwp need any extra acetylcholine.

if you are taking an anticholinergic drug such as cogentin or artane, with acetycholine, you are taking two opposing, opposite working drugs.

I have been taking one 250mg pill daily for a month for post-concussion syndrome, and I have if anything noticed the symptoms getting worse. This may be coincidence. I have a neurological pulsation in the brain and upper spine, headaches and dizziness. It feels as if the citicoline might be stimulating things too much and what people with my condition need might be to have neural activity reduced.
What effects have others noticed for what conditions?
Perhap, like most drugs, there will be beneficial effects on some conditions but not on others.
