SamJo Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Sooo just went to a neurologist to tell them what’s been going on and he’s like you just have adult ADD and anxiety. I’m like these doctors are pointless lol waste of my morning. But he did say I don’t have dementia (haha) and I’m fine so whatevs I guess! Literally just never depending on a doctor again. We’re on our own with this shit! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SamJo Posted May 21, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 He was also like vyvanse isn’t neurotoxic but I thought it was? Idkkkk. Anyways I’ve actually been feeling GREAT especially after using Cerebrolysin for a week and I’m only on month 5 (with a few slip ups) so woohoo! But the neurologist was like if you’ve been off for 5 months and still have these symptoms you should probley go back on. Like ok no fucking thanks 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyStupid Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 i believe the neurotoxicity of amphetamine is based on the dosage and frequency (i.e. if you're binging and abusing it hard, it is probably frying your brain). most doctors are assuming normal therapeutic dosage, so in that sense his answer is correct. glad to hear you're feeling GREAT! do you think it's a direct result of the Cerebrolysin though? you should try an experiment- stop it for a week and see how you feel. you need to be careful with anything that gives you too much of an effect.

He just said that could lead to a stroke but that I didn’t have one and that some people are even prescribed very high doses of ADD medication. I’m not sure how much one would have to take to completely fry their brain beyond repair? All I know is that I thought I did! And yes the Cerebrolysin was a gradual effect, by day 5 I was feeling almost back to my normal self and normal concentration and ambition. I only ordered a week of it so should be interesting how I feel this coming week but I’m determined to stay on this feeling good path! I did order more Cerebrolysin but it takes a few weeks to ship. I would recommend it to anyone who still has brain fog and all our other crappy symptoms cause it really helped! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like ok no fucking thanks Cerebrolysin can’t you order that but says not for human consumption? Seems kind of risky although I’m feeling much better because of the time off this crap would never shy away from something that could help us ex addicts feel even better if it’s safe.

SleepyStupid Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 @Frank B yea, i agree. i'm always open to learning about new avenues for recovery, as long as they aren't risky. but also, i have a hard time wrapping my mind around "feeling better". i can understand in early recovery where you feel absolutely miserable and you're looking for something to make it through the worst.. but for those of us a few years out, i worry that experimenting with something that gives you a very apparent effect is similar to pleasure seeking behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJo Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 @Frank B @sleepystupid no it’s not risky. It’s approved in Europe and other countries just not in the US. It’s a peptide that is very well studied. It’s $40 for a week supply. I studied science in college so I’m more familiar with the chemical breakdown of it all. I’ll let you know how I feel after I get my next batch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtracterall Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 SamJo do you inject it? If so how did you learn how to do that? I would probably try this if it were not for the injection thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveMeWings Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Same thing happened to me when I went to a neurologist- he sent me home with more pills insisting I needed them. It further strengthened those thoughts in my head telling me it's okay to take one more pill and one more pill and another and another...

I would probably try this if it were not for the injection thing. Yes I do inject it intramuscularly. I have a lot of friends that went on to be physicians after college that I studied with so I’m familiar with the anatomy but there’s also a video online of this guy injecting it although when I watched it it made me more scared to try it. I can tell you step by step how to use it if you end up ordering it! It’s very simple and safe if you are okay with needles. It’s really not that scary I promise! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
