Well, I don't visit these forums much anymore since I really don't agree with a lot of what's being promoted in other sections, but I saw a lot of private messages, and yall want to know more about Cerebrolysin I guess...
I took another 8 ampules of 5ml recently - doing one a day. I also found some "expert opinion".
Turns out the official line on Cerebrolysin in Russia is: It is weak and only suitable for children; or It is totally placebo and not effective. None of those doctors who said it were neurochemists, I think one was a cardiologist, among other doctors my grandma visits - since she told me this.
They all tow the company line like good boys though and promote the hell out of Russian-made Mexidol, which I dislike for various reasons, such as it's action on benzodiazepine receptors and on dopamine.
Either way, I completely disagree with them on CL
My brain is not very well balanced due to past substance abuse, but CL seems to "restore defaults" in terms of balancing the brain the way it should be in it's "virgin state" if you will, for lack of a better term. Thus, if your psychological faculties are more or less intact, you may not notice a significant effect. You have to be pretty sensitive and aware of your own body and brain to notice it regardless...otherwise you'll mostly see the difference without, once it's gone...
However, if you don't think there's an effect...try adding some substance to the mix...Weed gets me waaay higher, I don't even think I'm supposed to be that emotionally lifted, but yet that mentally sharp at once, the euphoria is ridiculous and I've been smoking almost every day for a decade! You get way less intoxicated from alcohol too, and can maintain a clear train of thought even when you're barely able to walk straight...the hangover is also significantly less...
Basically the effects other substances/supplements have are similar to when you're trying them for the first time - that's why I came up with the idea that it restores defaults in the brain.
Since this is not my first time using the substance, I'm more desensetized to it, but also get more side-effects - as is the case with taking anything over a long period of time.
Agression is definitely increased, but very controllable, sleep problems are possible, and the antidepressant effect is deceivingly addicting psychologically. It is a very powerful substance, and to be honest, I'm not going to be taking it for quite some time now, if ever. You can also get stuck in hardcore, nasty "thought loops" amidst sleepless nights, and I have a feeling if you do this stuff too much, you may not be able to get out.
There is a pronounced neurotrophic effect which only becomes evident about a week or so after you seize use. I don't know how to explain it really, but I definitely feel like I'm developing faster, in terms of some concepts and other things I've wanted to apply to my life, but was struggling with.
The biggest drawback: This stuff allows you to drift through your life effortlessly, and it's almost like "hacking the matrix". Seriously, I've come to a conclusion that it is just "too good".
You have to be careful with that stuff, and you gotta know EXACTLY what you want to get out of it and be very comfortable with yourself. It's deceivingly addictive due to its anti-depressant effects, and one injection easily lasts around 48 hours...basically - it fucks with your mind...big-time...
To be honest, I underestimated how powerful CL is before. It's been a great catalyst for changes I've already wanted to make in my life, but it is a very powerful substance and best used in extreme stress situations.
Again, I'm worried about people following my advice as far as choosing noots/supplements, because you have to realize that I'm not qualified and a lot of this could be a figment of my imagination - since my brain has been through a whole lot of everything and I might as well be a delusional psycho by now.
But watch it with CL - it's deceptively powerful and can sneak up on you. I have weed which will always be my number one substance of choice, so I'm not too worried about problems with other things. But this stuff had me thinkin: "Boy how nice would it be to just always be on top your game like that?"
I got the best results out of it when I was using it in extreme-stress situations. It's probably the only good way to use it.
