This book clearly explains the use of Vinpocetine (VinpocetineRX), from the early stages of the Perwinkle plant to the first stage of extraction called Vincamine and finally to Vinpocetine. ClubNatural.com manufactures Vinpocetine in the US under the VinpocetineRX name.
Great Job Dr. Ley

Vinpocetine can cause depression by depleting dopamine and other neurotransmitters
September 2, 2010
Format:Paperback
Vinpocetine inhibits IKK preventing I'B degradation and the following translocation of NF-'B to the cell nucleus. Increases in neuronal levels of DOPAC, a metabolic breakdown product of dopamine, have been shown to occur in striatal isolated nerve endings as a result of exposure to vinpocetine.Such an effect is consistent with the biogenic pharmacology of reserpine, a structural relative of vinpocetine, which depletes catecholamine levels and causes depression as a side effect of the cardiovascular and anti-psychotic effects.[15] However, this effect tends to be reversible upon cessation of Vinpocetine administration, with full remission typically occurring within 3-4 weeks.
Anecdotal evidence confirms this dopmaine depletion leading to low energy, difficulty focusing, loss of drive, ambition, etc.
I would try gingko or rhodiola for memory or brain enhancement.
