improve memory and concentration supplements

I have quit using cocaine after 2 years of use 10 days ago when I first noticed memory, concentration, and analytical impairments while performing work functions on the job. It was frustrating as my attention span became noticing impaired and I had to write down information from emails or assignments on a memo pad because of impairments in attention span and concentration. In response to the panic, I started taking cdp choline and ginkgo to boost memory and concentration levels.

I became very nervous and stressed 2 weeks ago because the simplest assignments and tasks at work would confuse me. In response, to boost memory and concentration, I purchased choline, DHA, ginkgo, and Phosphatidylserine. In addition, I read that cocaine damages neurotransmitters and depletes serotonin and dopamine so I had purchased 5htp, dlpa, L tyrosine, glutamine, multivitamins, fish oil, B-6, B-12, and whey protein.

How can I improve my concentration and memory? It became worse with meds. Meds not work well until now. Improvement too slowly. I'm having trouble in studying and learning.

It is difficult to tell if these symptoms are due to neurological disorder like Presenile dementia which cause loss of memory and concentration, decreased judgement, misplacing things, mood swings, confusion and loss of confidence. http://www.jobaccess.gov.au/JOAC/Advice/DisabilityOne/Early_onset_dementia.htm I would suggest you to contact your family doctor about it. Do keep us posted!

DLPA, CDP CHOILNE, 5HTP, L-Tyrosine, and Gingko. I've been taking the supplements for 3 days and I don't really feel any improvements in memory and learning functioning. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I am hoping and praying that through prolonged abstinence that the cognitive impairements can be recovered or somewhat improved. Is there any medical treatment to aide in the recovery process? Will impairments improve after time? I need answers!

I agree with that. Exercise was my go-to to keep my life in check, but I injured myself in the gym this semester (more than once - one lead to the other) and am consequently have/will be sitting out for awhile. Which is amplifying my anxiety/depression. boo.

it is again a natural supplement ,this works on a sub-molecular level to improve Focus, concentration and memory , you can google it for more information.

Long term cocaine used causes deficits in attention, concentration, new learning, visual and verbal memory, word production, and visual-motor integration observed, patients had been drug free for 6 months... This study indicated that long-term cocaine use may produce sustained brain blood flow deficits and persistent intellectual compromise in some subgroups of cocaine-abusing patients...

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a year ago and since then my memory and concentration has drastically went down. The medication (methimazole) is helping my thyroidism but doesn't seem to be doing anything to restrore my memory and concentration. I used to study for an exam and be able to memorize 3 to 4 pages word for word in an hour. Now I can't even focus long enough to study for an hour because my attention span is gone.

ssris aren't for that problem. They're for depression and anxiety. If those conditions are the root of your concentration problem, they might help, but if it isn't, they won't. Often medications causes memory and concentration problems, as sometimes does going off them. So nobody can tell you if it's working for that since many of us on here complain of the meds causing that. Only time will tell whether a med works or not, but it's important to take the proper med.

Improving Memory or Cognitive Function - There are scientific evidence that G. biloba would be helpful. It is worth taking to see if it can improve memory and concentration in those suffering with memory problems. Not all results are positive, however. It seems that it might not be very effective for improving memory in people who don't have memory problems.

Hi, I too have had this issue pre and post op, and find it is more the short term memory that is the problem....when I was still working, I made a list of things I had to do at work on Monday's and put a time table that they had to be done, and did so for each day of the week, I also had my cheat sheets for the diff computer spreadsheets so I had a reference and by using it this helped my memory, so for things that have to be done daily a check list out in plain view is helpful....

healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables and omega-3 fats, improve brain function and have been shown to improve memory, IQ, and general behavior; and at the same time, they eliminate depression. One of the biggest culprits is sugar.

U know it sounds to me like ur brain is very low in Omega 3. Omega 3 is a good fat that can be found in large amounts in oily fish such as Mackeral... Omega 3 is scientifically known to improve concentration, lower anxiety and in effect 'wake the brain up'.

I would love to learn another language but nothing sticks, tho this is a problem i've had since i was young my father being from another country, but no matter how i try i can't get my head around it.

t escape it, or do you know of any excercise to inprove my concentration and endurence to work.

They may be able to teach you some techniques to help improve your memory, and can give you some general coping strategies for everyday problems. Also, how many drugs have they tried you on? Because this one might not be working. My psychiatrist has been tinkering away with my drugs for over a year now and it's still not quite right. I've tried six, in several combinations.

m a little foggy and have issues with concentration and memory, but my weight is steady and my eyes are good. I would really like to try Armour supplements to my meds or replace them completely but becuase I have kaiser I need to make sure I spoon feed them the tests I'll need. Can anyone assist me in making sure I get the correct tests. I'm pretty sure I get FT3 and TSH but I guessing I should get a FT4 as well.

Tried Provigil, tried Ritalin, ended up on Strattera and it's been a perfect godsend for me! (I did not have trouble with Provigil and Ritalin--they helped a lot, although Provigil had an uncomfortable late-afternoon "letdown" effect for me), but after a year or two they did not work so well.

my child 41/2 years is very slow i doing his home work -his teacher say that he is smart but is the last one who finish class work.

I was taking this medication last August and still have the memory and concentration problems as of now. The problems have not gone away much, I would say only 50% better and it is still bad. I went to an Emory psychiatrist but they have just put me on Seroquel as of yesterday. I have stopped taking that today and while I was on it I felt very numb and could not feel emotions and I was very drowsy.

It is due to my meds as well as my secondary diagnosis of anxiety. Anxiety in and of itself can cause concentration problems because of the way it effects the brain; it actually blocks your short term memory from picking up signals. It cannot be fixed with more meds, but you might notice some alleviation when you stop certain meds. You have to ask yourself which is the lesser of two evils. I decided memory loss and inability to concentrate are the lesser of my problems.

Nice post…Many menopausal women complain of memory changes. Moreover, loss of concentration, forgetfulness, memory loss and poor memory retrieval in menopause may be experienced by women in their perimenopause stage too. Memory is the ability to bring information back into one's thoughts while concentration is the ability to focus one's attention or thought to one point successfully.

The best way to improving memory is by learning a new skill or a language and doing some mental exercises like solving a puzzle. Do let me know if you need more information. Keep us posted!
