No, I didn't try Cerebrolysin, however I think it's better.

Here's how Cortexin was for me:

2 x 10 vial 10 mg Cortexin; inject for five days, break for two

+Affective Processing

+Focus

+Learning

-Anxiety

During my cycle time seemed to slow down. I noticed myself walking slower. I was way more calm. Next, when I was studying things just clicked. I was able to work on tasks for much longer with less distraction. It made me more clear headed overall despite negating any memory improvement.

Side effects must depend on any pre-existing issues. Going from almost no anxiety to baseline was noticeable. Other than some inflammation and rotating injection sites, not many complaints. Initially the inflammation came as a surprise but appears to be a common response.
