VASOPRESSIN (Diapid)
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Vasopressin anti-diuretic hormone is a hormone secreted by the posterior
|
|
portion of the pituitary gland. It is approved for treatment of diabetes
|
|
insipidus because it prevents the frequent urination that occurs in this
|
|
disease. Vasopressin has also been used to treat memory deficits due to
|
|
aging, senile dementia. Alzheimer's disease, Korsakoff's Syndrome and
|
|
amnesia. It improves attention, concentration, memory retention, and recall
|
|
(both short-term and long-term). Vasopressin is necessary for imprinting new
|
|
More<n,Y,=> information in your memory.
|
|
|
|
Cocaine, LSD, amphetamines, Ritalin, and Cylert (pemoline) cause your
|
|
pituitary gland to release natural vasopressin at a faster rate. Frequent use
|
|
of these drugs can cause depleted levels of vasopressin with resultant
|
|
slowness and dopiness. A shiff of vasopressin can transform stimulant burnout
|
|
experience in about 10 seconds, because it is rapidly absorbed by the nasal
|
|
mucosa, and immediately replaces the vasopressin that has been depleted.
|
|
|
|
Conversely, marijuana and alcohol supress the release of vasopressin. A whiff
|
|
of vasopressin when using these drugs will compensate for much of the
|
|
dopiness caused by them.
|
|
|
|
Vasopressin is very useful when learning large amounts of new information..
|
|
It can increase your ability to memorize and recall.
|
|
|
|
Many people have very strong and positive reactions to vasopressin. We
|
|
include a number of testimonials in appendix D.
|
|
|
|
PRECAUTIONS: Vasopressin occasionally produces the following side effects;
|
|
nasal congestion, runny nose, itch or irritation of the nasal passages,
|
|
abdominal cramps, headache, and increased bowel movements. Vasopressin has
|
|
More<n,Y,=> not been proven to be safe for use during pregnancy. It should also be used
|
|
cautiously in cases of hypertension or epilepsy.
|
|
|
|
DOSAGE: Vasopressin usually comes in a nasal spray bottle. Most studies
|
|
showing memory improvement have been done with a dose of 12 to 16 USP per
|
|
day, or about two whiffs three or four times per day. Vasopressin produces a
|
|
noticeable effect within seconds.
|
|
|
|
SOURCES: Vasopressin is available in the USA. You can buy it with a doctors
|
|
prescription. Again, keep in mind that most physicians may not be familiar
|
|
with the uses we discuss here. It can also be purchased over the counter in
|
|
Mexico or by mail order from the sources listed in appendix A.
|
|
|
|
Vasopressin (also called antidiuretic hormone) coimes in three forms:
|
|
lysine-vasopressin (Diapid, LVP, Lypressin, Postacton, Synpressin),
|
|
l-desamino-8-D-arginine (Adiruetin, SD, DAV Ritter, DDAVP, Desmopressin,
|
|
Desmospray, Minirin), and arginine vasopressin (argipressin, AVP,
|
|
rinder-vasopressin). All forms have very similar or identical effects.

Vasopressin:
|
|
|
|
"The most immediate result form using Vasopressin is the increased clarity
|
|
and alertness. I can be logical without the usual speediness associated with
|
|
caffeine use. After five minutes I've noticed that I'm busily accomplishing
|
|
tasks that I'd been putting off for a week. The duration is about two hours
|
|
for the energetic feelings. Overall, I feel my short-term memory recall
|
|
improving over the past two weeks of using Vasopressin. It seems that the
|
|
longer I use it, the more I can rely on my mind to be a portable note pad"

|
|
"Being a student is less stressful now that I have Vasopressin to use. I can
|
|
count on my mind being clear enough to formulate test answers, even if I feel
|
|
tired or foggy-headed." -DB
|
|
|
|
"During my final year as an undergraduate, I decided to changes majors from
|
|
psychology to mathematics. I was also running out of money and I knew I had
|
|
to finish in one year and then get a job. I started using a combination of
|
|
More<n,Y,=> Hydergine, vasopressin, pemoline, and agood vitamin formula with large
|
|
amounts of choline. This particular combination improved my concentration
|
|
enormously. I flew through that year taking a full load of upper level
|
|
mathematics courses each semester. Not only did I complete the major in the
|
|
allotted time, but my grades were better than I was used to. I landed a job
|
|
in Silicon Valley immediately after graduation. In other words, everything
|
|
went perfectly according to plan and I really don't think I could have done
|
|
it without smart drugs." -SR
