Cool. I wonder how it interacts with anti-depressants. Saw something about MAO inhibitor on Wikipedia.
Hey dude. I’m taking aniracetam. I notice my memory is better. Could be the choline though. You still taking noopept? I might upgrade but I’m afraid of dissociation.
Have you tried Creatine yet?

selegiline
Man. I tried looking it up. Looks like you need a prescription. Have you heard of Modafinal and its precursor Adrafinal?
A quick google search showed this:

It has been reported that selegiline, a Selective Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor B (MAOI-B), at low doses would be helpful for treating negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Nevertheless, the results are contradictory so far. This study was designed to investigate the effect of selegiline added to risperidone as augmentation therapy in patients with chronic schizophrenia and prominent negative symptoms in an 8 week, double blind and randomized clinical trial.Eligible participants in this study were 40 patients with chronic schizophrenia. All patients were inpatients and were in the active phase of the illness, and met DSM-IV-TR criteria for schizophrenia. Patients were allocated in a random fashion, 20 to risperidone 6 mg/day plus selegiline 10 mg/day (5 mg bid) and 20 to risperidone 6 mg/day plus placebo. The principal measure of the outcome was Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).Although both protocols significantly decreased the score of the positive, negative, and general psychopathological symptoms over the trial period, the combination of risperidone and selegiline showed a significant superiority over risperidone alone in decreasing negative symptoms and PANSS total scores.The present study indicates selegiline as a potential adjunctive treatment strategy for the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Nevertheless, results of larger controlled trials are needed before recommendation for a broad clinical application can be made.

It has been suggested that schizophrenic negative symptoms may be manifestations of regionally deficient CNS dopaminergic activity. We sought to test this hypothesis by openly treating patients on chronic antipsychotic medication who showed prominent negative symptoms with low-dose selegiline (5 mg b.i.d.), a monoamine oxidase-B inhibitor that selectively enhances dopaminergic activity. Twenty-one patients meeting DSM-III-R criteria for chronic schizophrenia (N = 14) or schizoaffective disorder (N = 7) with prominent negative symptoms were studied. Subjects had been kept at their current antipsychotic and antiparkinsonian medication dose levels for at least a month before the study, which was continued unchanged throughout the trial. Over 6 weeks of selegiline treatment, a 34.7% reduction in negative symptoms was demonstrated on the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms. There were also reductions in depressive symptoms (21-item Hamilton Depression Scale dropped 36.8%) and extrapyramidal symptoms (Simpson-Angus Extrapyramidal Symptom Scale scores dropped 27.7%), but no change was observed in the severity of positive symptoms as measured by the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. Global clinical improvement was demonstrated, with mean Clinical Global Impressions Scale score rising 17.6%. These findings support the hypothesis that negative symptoms, as well as extrapyramidal symptoms and certain depressive symptoms, may be manifestations of regionally deficient dopaminergic activity.

This case series describes three patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia attending a continuing day treatment (CDT) program. They showed significant improvement in negative symptoms and overall functioning after the addition of selegiline to the antipsychotic regimen. No side effects were observed with this combination.

My psychiatrist told me APs block the effects of Piracetam and said they would probably due the same for Aniracetam. I still feel something, but it’s rather weak.
Noopept was great but, I don’t have money. I need 120 US Dollars to order 200 grams Noopept from powdercity.com
powdercity.com is simply the best there is.
Selegiline is easy to buy in India.
Selegiline and Olanzapine are comparatively cheaper than many health supplements.
Even though all health supplements are good for health
we can’t use them when we don’t have money…
we only want to buy and use that show immediate results
and Selegiline shows results
If you take under 6mg if selegiline you don’t have dietary restrictions.
@anon93437440 does Selegiline affect positive symptoms or just negatives? How long have you been taking it?
