This review is from: Smart Drugs & Nutrients: How to Improve Your Memory and Increase Your Intelligence Using the Latest Discoveries in Neuroscience (Paperback)

When the original Smart Drugs book came out, I started on Piracetam, Hydergine, and Lucidril. With absolutely remarkable results. I was no dullard beforehand, but after a few months on that combination, I was able to enhance my problem solving ability and overall intelligence considerably. Unfortunately I now have a fairly rare disease, Porphyria, so can now longer take most of the nootropics. And I can really tell the difference.

I also had some interaction with Dean, Fowkes, and Morganthaler back in that era and subscribed to the CERI newsletter. I can tell you from personal experience, they are terrific. They were so helpful and kind. The fact that Ward Dean is in prison in my mind says nothing about him being "dishonest' as a previous reviewer points out, but to the fact that our government picks certain individuals who have counter ideas to the establishment and choose to persecute them. Let's not be naive, folks.........

This book is a good introductory to nootropics (smart drugs), however, I found it a bit dated (maybe there's an updated release??). Also, I've found just a much information freely on-line via nootropic forums.

At http://journyx.com/curt/megadrugs.html you will find data about this book. It is a good book, but it won't tell you what to do. It describes these substances in sometimes boring detail. It doesn't prescribe. It's a fascinating and new field. Proceed with caution and optimism.
