Nootropics are medications that enhance the activity of the
brain and result in an increased level of brain functions. The memory, focus or
even the retaining of a person is said to increase when there are smart drugs
involved. These cognitive enhancers however also make the person feel more
awake and more active. We will see how. We should all know that there are many
types of smart drugs that are in the market now.
Modafinil and Armodafinil are two very popular smart drug
compounds that help in cognition improvement. Armodafinil is the enhanced form
of the compound Modafinil. In fact, it is the R-enantiomer of the smart drug.
Armodafinil based drugs are said to be more potent and longer lasting. There
are many smart drugs that are developed under the category of Armodafinil.
Waklert is one of them.
Waklert: The smart drug
Waklert is an Armodafinil based smart drug. In fact Waklert
is known to be one of the strongest smart drugs. It is an FDA Approved drug
(2007). Waklert
is both a Eugeroic (wakefulness promoting) and a cognitive enhancing drug.
Along with these uses, the medication is also known to help people with
sleeping disorders like Narcolepsy and sleep apnea.
Armodafinil based drugs work by activating the Orexin
peptide by stimulating the Orexin receptors (OX1, OX2). As the peptide is
activated, the body programs itself to inhibit the reuptake of Dopamine,
resulting in an accumulation of the neurotransmitter. Dopamine is mostly
responsible for cognitive enhancement and for wakefulness purposes. Along with
these medications, Norepinephrine, Histamine and Serotonin are also increased,
giving the body a rush of wakefulness and activeness. Usually the effect of
Armodafinil smart drugs lasts for 13-15 hours.
The medication is mostly considered one of the strongest due
to the fact that the medication at half the quantity of any Modafinil smart
drug is more potent than other smart drugs. Hence it is considered one of the
strongest smart drugs.
