> A friend of mine who has severe manic depression introduced me to Nootropic medications (drugs, herbs, dietary supplements - whatever you want to call them). I have depression I can only describe as daily Hell probably due to genetics combined with head truama I suffered when I was younger.
>
> Picamilon is a Russian nootrpic that I guess is used widely over there. It was said to be extremely effective and fast-acting: one hour as oppossed to 2 weeks for most SSRIs and almost 2 months for my last med (Lamictal). I have recently been taking Picamilon with excellent results. I have several friends that have had the same kind of dissapointing results with American meds and I am now convinced that the only reason this stuff is not widely used in the U.S. is that the drug companies are trying to keep it (and other nootropic meds) out of the market.

> I got my stuff here: xxx. They sell several "dietary supplements" which I have found to be effective where the drug-dealing doctors I have seen over the years have failed miserably. Rhodiola is a "mood enhancer" that I am trying now for the second day to lower anxiety in conjunction with the Picamilon. It also seems to do precicely what it is said to do.

> If you feel too "spacy" on Picamilon you may want to try Piracitam. (Sorry I do not know where to buy that med.)
>
> I was weary to try anything not prescribed by a doctor but since beggining Picamilon I now view the Phizer, Merk and E. Lilly drugs as Gestapo drugs. I say this because in my 11 year history of being treated by the drug-dealing scum we call psychiatrists here in the US nothing has come close to the results I am getting from these nootrpics. If you can name it I've been on it: Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Remeron, Parnate, Elavil, Norpramin, Wellbutrin, and most recently Lamictal combined with Celexa. This last combo seemed to work fairly well - at least I was functional. However, I developed the "Lamictal rash" and had to discontinue use of the Lamictal immediately. That was a blessing in disguise as I have now found total relief in nootropic meds.
