Brain fog is my most debilitating symptom. I would love to get some relief from it.

Thanks,

Hi Nick,

My biggest problem, as it sounds like yours is, has been brain fog. This is what's helped me the most with that:

I take an Aniracetam dose of 750mg in combination with 250mg CDP Choline 1-3x per day, as needed. The affects last 2-4 hours per dose. It has worked great for me and I haven't had any side effects. Both Aniracetam and Choline are considered supplements, so you don't need a prescription for them. You can find them on Amazon.

More details: Aniracetam is a nootropic. Basically, Aniracetam stimulates the functions of certain neuronal receptors by means of glutamic acid. Choline is a nutrient you can find naturally in egg yolks and some other foods. Usually when you see a mention of Aniracetam, they suggest stacking CDP Choline for better affect.

Provigil on the other hand is a prescription drug that is very expensive. It was prescribed and highly recommended by my neurologist for brain fog. I use the generic version, Modafinil which you can find much cheaper online. Modafinil feels like a much stronger version of Aniracetam. I take 100mg which lasts about 10 hours.

To prevent my brain from building up a tolerance to either, I alternate several days between each of them. This has been the best solution for me by far for brain fog.

If you have any more questions about either, don't hesitate to ask me.
