Drug info - Drugs for concentration?

[Maxfrombx]

Are there drugs that enhance concentrations beside amphetamines and nootropics?

ADHD meds. I take them (cause I have it.) Helps most people concentrate, they work well but can be very addicting, so be careful.

Swim d like to hear about this too. So far caffeine is not the best for concentration for swim. Ritalin sounds like a lot of BS for concentration

OK so apparently there's no drug especially helpful apart amphetamines...
SWIM would like to be in a relaxed state and be able to visualise very powerfully, however he can't maintain his concentration more than a few seconds.

Definitely check out Ephedrine (it's in over-the-counter Bronkaid). Wikipedia says it's "commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, decongestant, and to treat hypotension associated with anesthesia". But it's a bit rough on your heart, so be careful with that. And from what I've read, you develop a tolerance fairly quickly.

You should look into Propylhexedrine, which is in over-the-counter Benzedrex inhalers. This involves breaking open the inhaler and eating the cotton inside which everyone says tastes terrible. From what I've read, it's similar to some ADHD medication, and there are methods to extract the propylhexedrine so you don't have to eat the lavender-menthol cotton.

Finally, check out Modafinil (Provigil), both are restricted in the US but I believe Adrafinil is unregulated, and Wikipedia says that Adrafinil is "metabolized in vivo to Modafinil", which has actually been considered for an ADHD medication.

Good luck!

Thanks SFS, I'll consider these options

I was actually doing research on this myself just yesterday. I'm trying to get off amphetamines and I know my concentration level will be next to nothing so I was looking up some herbal remedies for concentration.

Here's what I found (herbal remedies for ADHD):
Ginkgo Biloba, Bacopa, and Valerian Root (this one helps with sleeping so I assume it should be taken at night, not in the morning). Here's the website so you can read the descriptions on why each of those herbs help: http://www.livestrong.com/article/16...dies-for-adhd/

On this website: http://www.livestrong.com/article/33...like-adderall/

It discusses what herbs act like Adderall (as you can tell from the site name). It talks about American Ginseng being combined with Ginkgo and Passionflower.

Also, on each site, if you scroll to the bottom, there are links to similar articles about Herbal Remedies for ADHD. Hope this helps!
