using 2x Neurovance in the mornings

Do you find this stuff helps? How much does it cost?

NO pill can truly help us.
They may make us feel a bit better - but at the end of the day you still feel the full weight pressing inside your chest.

Yes it does help, although not completely and it looks like I might have to up my dosage. It is expensive, around R110/month. But I will tell you that, if I don't take it, then the effects are quite visible, I get short term memory loss almost as soon as the treatment is discontinued.

Jason - for the sake of info on this thread can you elaborate what exactly this medication is, and what it's pharmaceutical actions are? I can google it - but that would not add it to the thread, and who better to write how it works than someone currently using it.

Is it the same as Ritilam, Concerta etc? Alternative herbal?

Another instant gratification you can give your brain other than a pill is to entrain your neural frequency using external stimuli such as sounds and video which plays out a certain frequency.

Sure, Bruce

it is a medication we discovered in the Dis-Chem, it is 100% natural. Manufactured by Medical Nutritional Institute. I used to be on shit like Cilift for the depression before I discovered this.

When I get home I can post the package insert here, if I haven't chucked it away yet (usually I turf the box and keep the canister at my bedside)

I had a look at the stuff on the website and it seems pretty tame. I am very wary of happy pills that generate corporations billions in profit but am willing to look at more natural supplements.

I read about a study where they took a bunch of schoolkids who had serious learning difficulties and put them on a megadose of omega 3. It made a 70% positive difference or similar.
So I've been on omega 3 for a while now and I find it actually makes a difference. Marginal but still there.

Something I have also realized that is very important is WHAT I put into my body, I've stopped drinking and avoid sugar and various other substances that are essentially poisons to me. This is the best solution I have found so far.

I agree that no pill is going to help completely, but I am happy for any little boost I can get.

Omega 3?
OK.

EFA's are very important for normal neural functioning.

I've done some reading.
It seems that I have all the symptoms of Adult ADD/ADHD.

Well...a check in.
Omega 3 helped for the first few weeks, it stopped working after that.

Now I have decided to go on ritalin.
My doctor will give me a months script to start and to see if it is viable for me to go on it on a permanent basis.
