It didn't last, and I think it might have made me feel mildly worse thereafter. Perhaps there is a dosage window of efficacy for me. Maybe I'll try the 10mg you suggest. I tried going up to 40mg for a few days. However, once I started feeling drunk, I reduced the dosage back to 20mg.

>i hope it works out for you. i definitely believe there's a window of efficacy; at 10mg, i felt, i guess, normal? for the first time in my life, to the point where i experienced a heretofore unknown mental clarity and certainty in my decisions (i suffer from ADD and OCD and have an appalling lack of executive function).
unfortunately, following alzheimers protocol, i pushed the dose to 20mg and began to feel significantly worse. i'm also thinking of revisiting the 10mg dose ... i'm just trying to work out what a suitable augmenting agent might be
