Nootropics and psychostimulants

The term "nootropics" appeared in 1972, this wordconsists of two Greek "noos" - mind and "tropos" - change. It turns out that nootropics are designed to change the human mind, using biochemistry to influence the central nervous system. Their predecessors in improving the work of the brain were psychostimulants, which strongly, but briefly affected the person. They increased the endurance of the body, stress resistance, caused general excitement, activity and euphoria. If not for the strongest negative side effects and the emergence of addiction, psychostimulants would conquer humanity. But the post-effect in the form of severe depression and complete decline of power was so oppressive to a person that could lead to suicide.

Synthetic Nootropics

After taking nootropic negative effectsalmost no, they are not addictive. But they do not have the instantaneous action of psychostimulants. To feel the result of taking nootropics, you need to take a course lasting 1-3 months. The action of nootropics is due to the improvement and acceleration of metabolism in the neural tissues, the protection of neurons with a lack of oxygen and toxic effects. Practically nootropics protect the brain from aging. Now produce many nootropic drugs, here are the most common of them: "Pyracetam" ("Nootropil") - this is the first of nootropics. It is prescribed for violations of attention and memory, nervous disorders, brain injuries, alcoholism and vascular diseases. It can also be used independently (without exceeding the dose) for better perception and assimilation of the learning material. Rarely, the following side effects were noted: drowsiness or agitation, dizziness and nausea, increased sexual activity. The analogue of "Piracetam" ("Nootropil") is "Fenotropil" ("Phenylpyrazetam"), "Acefen" ("Cerutil", "Meclofenoxate", "Centrofenoxin") contains the acetylcholine-transmitter of nervous excitement, an indispensable participant in the work of the human rights of man. This series of nootropic drugs accelerates all the processes of excitation and inhibition, improves blood flow to the brain, and has a psychostimulating effect. It also protects the brain from aging and, together with Piracetam, is used to improve mental abilities. There were side effects from the NA: anxiety, insomnia, increased appetite. "Selegiline" ("Deprenil", "Yumeks") contains the substance selegiline, the inhibitory effect of enzymes that inhibit phenylethylamine and dopamine. After 40 years of enzymes, the pleasure of a number of dopamine is produced much less than in youth. "Selegiline" is positioned as a nootropic for people of middle and old age. It is used in the treatment of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. With a long enough intake of the drug improves memory, mood and overall well-being. "Selegiline", according to medical scientists, while taking 5 mg per day can increase the life expectancy of a person for 15 years!
