> > "...Tell me what you find out (about piracetam or any other *racetams). I haven't got any material on those."
I'm doing some reading on piracetam. Not enough solid information to make any decision right now. I may just let the adrafinil do what I want - enhanced memory - but I'd still like to learn more about piracetam, find if there's any interaction between it & adrafinil. If I could get my memory working well, how knows what I may do? What an on-top-of-the-world feeling that would be!
With the absessed tooth I had, I was taking lots of codeine painkillers & Ativan to dull it. I felt so thick - couldn't think, let alone remember. I felt so mentally dull - nothing seemed to interest me in reading, TV or computer. I'm sure you've read the story "Flowers For Algenon". I don't mean to be arrogant about my intelligence, but the difference I felt was horrible. I enjoy my intelligence (it makes life so much more interesting) & would hate to imagine what it would be like to lose it. If I can incorporate a good memory into it too, well...!!
> > "...Um, not particularly. But buprenorphine, which I take three times a day, is a stimulant for me, and I think I probably took Xanax before taking the driving test."So do you think it helped you with being more relaxed during the test? I found with myself, mistakes I made were due to "the evil one" watching every move I made to such an extent I felt so shakey. I wonder if they figure you can drive well under such adverse conditions, you can handle anything. :-)
Where you're living now (at family home, I think), can you still continue some sort of studies or such on-line? I know with computer science, there's so many excellent on-line courses that can be used towards a bachelor's degree. Elizabeth, can you tell me if there's any practical applications of knot theory? As one math prof told me, most of the time, theories are developed & years later some application is found that applies to them. Also another question, if I wanted to learn more about fractal math (geometry), do you know what areas of math leads to it? I would dearly love to pursue more on fractals, but have no idea of what fields one needs to study to work my way there.
