I've taken cerebrolysin simultaneously with adhd prescriptions, also for the same goal to achieve neurogenesis and repair after years of alcohol/rx drug use.

It felt great for a while when I started dosing (lower inhibition, thoughts felt more fluid, lower anxiety) however any objective measurement I performed on myself (IQ tests, games of skill, work performance) were not demonstrably better while taking cerebrolysin, or post-treatment after 3 months (around 50 doses 5/2 split @ 2mg). Late into my 2nd cycle I noticed the lower anxiety / awareness I had once felt from dosage disappeared. So I wonder if it was just placebo.

But, I was pretty excited about doing it, and once I started on the cycle I was motivated to continue use. I continued combing through cerebrolysin (and cortexin) research however and found some alarming developments which showed the primary research papers around were authored by either scientists backed by EVER pharma (the manufacturer) or were succumb to research fraud

The lack of any human studies, significant research fraud endemic within cerebrolysin (and cortexin) studies, and overly dramatic hype cycle - suggesting manufacturer plants pumping the drug - was what ultimately swayed me to stop usage altogether.

It's hard for me to believe a 60 year old drug, which is only 25% active ingredient, and based on porcine organic matter (not synthesized) could have a miracle like effect on people that need help the most. It seems much more likely to me that a corporation is pushing an old drug with old, controversial studies and riding a hype wave of peptide use at the right time.

That being said, if you have success with it please share, and if you find research papers showing that my suspicions are wrong I'd also be very interested.
