it is absolutely not possible and contrary to every known principle of pharmacology. the idea is like something a retarded 8 year old might concoct (or, equivalently, a Hollywood writer)
You do know it was concocted by an Irish science fiction writer for a book and not a screenplay?
S-18,986 seems expensive. It's around $180 for 10mg(2 x 5mg) and around $700 for 50mg(2 x 25mg). The dose range is like 10mg to 15mg. WHAAAAATTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like the pricing for real NZT. The one in the movie was $800 a pop. The 2C-x series were far cheaper and is NZT-like at sun-psychedelic doses(though it may take up to a year for significant increases of intelligence as it follows an exponential curve which seem subtle at first. In short, it works better when you're already smart.). I recently read about WIN-55,212-2. It was described as anti-anxiety with possible cognitive enhancing effects. There's also thiopropamine. Eating daffodils, periwinkle flowers, and kanna friut also increases cognition. Somewhere online, there was something about how although moderate to severe activation of 5-HT2a receptors causes hallucinations, mild to semi-moderate activation of the 5-HT2a receptors led to increased cognition during the course of it's effects and also the brain grew more neurons and there were benefits that carried on even long after the sub-psychedelic dose of some psychedelics were taken.
Side note: There's also something called Portulaca oleracea (common name: purslane) that increases cognition via Omega 3's and vitamins and high nutrient value.
Also, Mucuna pruriens (common name: Velvet bean) that is a natural source of L-Dopa.

I never saw the movie but it reminded me a lot of meth just going off the trailer. except meth doesnt really make you smarter at all its just makes you kind of weird. idk id like to think I do a good job at hiding when im fucked up but the people I work with could just be polite and / or not give a fuck.
