> Hi Mark, I tried Ginko too a long time ago and didn't have much luck with it either. A joke I used to have is I don't know if Ginko works because I always forget to take it! LOL. Seriously though I did give it an honest try with no good affects.

> As for washing your hair twice you might want to try to see if your hair is squeaky clean before washing it again. Use the flat of your palm and press down and slide your hand down your hair. If it squeaks, you've washed it! LOL Sounds kind of funny but it works for me.

> I have found a drug that might be considered a smart drug, it's call Ardafinil, there's a similar drug Modafinil that you might be able to get from the doctor but it might be difficult. Adrifinil is much cheaper too unless you literally go to Mexico. It's supposed to be used for Narcolepsy but seems to have some other advantages including improved memory, increased alertness, better concentration, better work effort (can do attitude) with little side effects except possible increases in liver enzyme which you should check after three monthes of use. That may be a pain in the butt but if it starts working for you it would probably be worth it, plus I've read the side effects are completely reviewable. Modifinil doesn't seem to have these, one reason why it may be more expensive.

Cheers Greg.
I've been checking out the possibility of one of these drugs too, although I'm worried they might increase my anxiety levels. I think I'm going to try deprenyl first of all, as it might really help the depression.
take care
