Having found no one yet who will help us with the daily injections of thiamine referenced in another thread (http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...light=thiamine) we bought some benfotiamine and have been taking it fairly regularly for about a week and a half (1 pill am and 1 pill pm).

Observations (granted, they are subjective)
more mental alertness/clarity/sharpness
more interest in everything
more brain energy, for lack of a better way to explain it
more physical energy as well

This translates into less brain fog, less apathy, better mood. If we miss a dose, we can tell. It is subtle, but there.

The downside is that we aren't sure if it interferes with sinemet I know B6 does, but am not sure about B1. And I know we are absorbing only a fraction of what we are taking orally, so I am continuing to look for someone who can help us with the injectable form of thiamine.

Has anyone else tried this?
