Hello everybody
I read that tabacco smoking increases sensory gating for 30min. and that it is one reason why people smoke tabacco.
Question:
Does Galantamine improve sensory gating with Risperdal's efficacy without causing memory impairment?
Details:
I am looking for a medication which improves sensory gating like nicotine does without creating addiction, or like Risperdal does without the side effects of having impaired visual and auditory memory.
It would be great to chat live with someone someday who uses Galantamine or knows more about sensory gating!
I have had the privilege to try out Risperidone (from 0.25mg - 1mg) several times and Aripiprazole (from 2.5mg - 20mg) for theirs effects on sensory gating and was disappointed by memory impairment and other side effects.
This is just personal experience, but my focus is better on Risperidone than Aripiprazole in terms of task persistance. Sensory gating, p50 Amplitude values are said to improve according to studies, and that is how it felt. I can program code in the train with Risperidone (0.5mg) even when noise level is extreme. Extreme noise levels like a emergency car signal very close or shouting children close to one's laptop are just no more cause for disruption. The drawback of Risperidone, which I find very discomforting is that the cognitivefun.net/test4 average score decreases significantly. Also other tests on span and memory are reduced a lot.
I tried out Invega (Paliperidone, 3mg) the "improved Risperidone" and it diminishes memory to a lesser degree.
I believe that overall results in cognitive tests while being on Risperidone for me during those few experimental settings were worse than Aripiprazole in cognitive and metabolic side effects.
I would take Risperidone only in rare situations to obtain higher task persistence and better sensory gating.
With Aripiprazole the effect on sensory gating is hardly noticeable. I notice significantly more startle-reaction in the train when people talk on Aripiprazole than on Risperidone. Risperidone makes me focused but also more forgetteable and less able to show empathy.
My dream would be a medication which increases the ability to filter out irrelevant signal (PPI, p50 amplitude, sensory gating)
without impairing cognitive functions. Nicotine, Risperidone are no long-term possibilities for me. So please if anyone knows about this topic, help me!
Best regards
Matt
