There is a video game treating ADHD available in the US called EndeavorOTC

Read the reviews. A little costly for something that has not had any blinded studies comparing it with other video games for increasing cognition or helping ADHD.

Video games in general seem to have some benefits in maintaining cognition. Some studies show that cognitive improvements regress toward baseline after discontinuing playing.

It seems it is a case of “don’t drink Two Brother whisky because its bad for you but you can drink mine and its real good LOL”. For me, If It ever came to a point where I need a video game to help me with cognition or concentration etc…rest assured, I’ll skip the treatment.

They did do double blind studies comparing it to a digital control whatever that means.
The downside must be very low, about only cost.

How long does the concentration boost last?

#26

Subjectively a few hours, 3-4 at most.

Maybe I’m searching wrong but I can’t find noopept here.

Many supplements such as phenibut, galantamine, and noopept that used to be found on Amazon are no longer freely available.
(Mini conspiracy rant: Drug companies: “If it really works and the general public doesn’t know about it. Let’s ban it.”)

Phenabut can be found here:

Galantamine can be sourced from India by many suppliers. I use Maulik Parekh maulik7@gmail.com
Galatamine, Galamer 4 mg - 40$ / 100 pills
Shipping extra

Noopept can also be found as a nasal spray, which, IMO opinion, is the preferred method. You can also use it sublingually from powder, which also works quite well.
This facilitates its immediate effect if being used before a test etc.

Have you tried Vyvanse? I used half of a 10mg capsule for experiment, it seems to help focus without much side effect. I prefer to use known medications for better quality assurance.

Did you find any benefit from phenibut? I felt possibly mildly better and then when I stopped felt absolutely awful for weeks.

If you take phenibut on a regular basis, you can develop an addiction, and of course you will experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop.
I rarely take it anymore, maybe a few times a year. It is my Xanax used as a chill pill if I am experiencing a stressful situation.

I see. I used it incorrectly then. This was many years ago.

I find modafinil to be quite a good one. Certainly disrupts sleep though.
