Bacopa for Memory

“TLDR of my [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/s/SBNQ7EqFrY): I took 450mg 40% bacosides for 70 days, Memory may have slightly benefited but anhedonia was horrible to deal with”

“Yes, it works for sure to calm you down but for me and most other people it significantly lowers dopamine so that you feel tired & unmotivated. Normally bacopa’s cholinesterace inhibition takes longer to kick in for the focus memory boost, takes weeks from what I have read. Maybe you respond very favorably or you got some awesome bacopa monierry product.”

“For some sensitive people, like me, quickly develop the lack of motivation and anhedonia. On the first day I experienced sedation. I experienced on the second day the lethargy and apathy. I still continued for about a week, If I remember correctly, which caused extreme irritability. I generally feel more strongly than other people the sedating effects of substances. I have also trialed Concerta (methylphenidate), and I couldn't tell the difference between it and a placebo. I do have diagnosed narcolepsy which could explain why I feel the way I do.”
