So I was looking around for something to increase my processing speed as that is my greatest problem. If I could describe my cognitive abilities in computer terms I have a god tier CPU and a Top Tier GPU. My problem is I am stuck with a dinky 2 GB stick of RAM and when I take my medication it upgrades a little to a 4 GB. I juggle and understand multiple concepts at once and I am far ahead of my peers in understanding. My problem is that I move at a snails pace in doing so. I was always one of the last ones to leave after taking tests sometimes staying 20-30 minutes after doing so. I was always self conscious about this and it was one of the biggest reasons I cannot hold down employment as while my intelligence gets me in the door my slow working speed often sees me out the door just as fast and I have been given direct feedback as such. So for the past year I have been experimenting with Nootropics and while I have made some massive strides and fixed some of my symptoms permanently, can remember names now, can feel emotions again, better memory, etc. It still never addressed what I was really after, Motivation and processing speed. Aniracetam sort of filled this niche for a week until it stopped working after a week and I gave up in disgust. Recently I found out about IDRA-21 and after reading into it more and seeing its affordability ($20 for a hundred doses) and Long Half life (You only have to take it once every 48 hours 10 mg orally) as well as the consistent noted effects and its status as an Ampakine I gave it a try.I have only just taken my 3rd dose and the effects are subtle. The first day it was a few hours of nothing until I suddenly found myself doing work I had put off for weeks. in a couple hours. My emotions were more notable and intense and being Autistic this is wonderful. I am solving math problems 4 times as fast as before and that seems to hold steady though it does not seem to be cumulative with Adderall. So putting it back in computer terms off Adderall it like that 2 Gb stick has been turned into an 8 Gb (granted with stuttering as I cannot focus without Adderall so I will be motivated and doing a task but then get distracted by something) With the Adderall its like I have 10 Gb of Ram and it feels fantastic. Is this what normal people feel like? The results have remained consistent over the past week and it being an AMPA agonist there is seemingly no risk of tolerance as you either have high AMPA or low AMPA. This may not be the answer for everyone but it was the answer for me so far. I hope this helps.
