Ampakine cx717/I gotta get me this drug

So, would this be classified under PED or “please help me not fall asleep after my morning workout”? Pretty cool (and scary). Definitely would help on long drives/boring meetings but then I wouldn’t want to be forced to eat this stuff. I think I enjoy sleeping in my bed very much…

“Preliminary analysis suggests CX717, when compared to placebo, increased wakefulness in a dose-related manner and improved performance of those subjects that were impaired”

I assume that because other drugs with the same functions are banned that this one would be also.

Maybe not - look at caffeine…

Hello,

Caffeine is one of the few special cases where it was illegal and has been changed. Typically a new drug will be banned as a “class” ie stimulants.

Ampakines are amazing chemicals, and they’ll surely make it to the OTC market in the next 20 years to help people with Alzheimers, memory problems, and just being old. Only problem with them is that they cause severe seizures in the doses needed to enhance memory.

Check out the latest Popular Science on being Super Human. There is a section in there about ampakines, readily laymen but with enough good science to cover the bases.
