Has anyone taken Addium, the "Brain enhancer."
It's not a prescription is claims to be better then adderall.
Has anyone experienced it?
If so, how was it?
 
It's funny you ask about this, I have a bottle sitting in front of me right now at work.

I actually found Addium while searching for energy pills a couple months ago. I was looking for something to replace my morning coffee fix.

I take one of these baby's every morning. It's definitely gives me a strong buzz and helps me get through the long days a little easier.

I've never taken Adderall so I don't really can't compare the two, but for being something I can buy online w/o a prescription, it does the job and then some ;)
 
Is it one of those premade nootropic pills? I used to be into those a fair amount, i'd stay away from premade ones esp. if it doesn't list ingredients, and build your own stack from information online. They can be quite enhancing if you get the doses right, I rarely did, or maybe i'm stupid beyond saving haha :)
 
Nootropic?
I used to take Taurine pills… That are in Red Bull, when I was out of speed (back when I bartended). Do you every get a hangover form them?
I take a lot of amino acids, some give me energy. I don't eat red meat and Carnitine is great for energy also… and no hangover.
 
i want a nootropic stack. my brain really needs it.

and to OP, no, i haven't. but have tried any and all types of adderall. :)
 
It's just huperzine a right? Something acetylcholine related if I remember correctly. Hype aside, I've been interested(in huperzine a). I get good results from alpha gpc but I can't seem to find the right -racetem for me (piracetam makes me tense, ani makes me tired...maybe oxygen)

Addium is the most advanced and effective cerebral enhancement complex in the world.

Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say anything that advertises as this is gonna be a little overhyped. In fact at the bottom of their advert-store-site thingy it says "These claims have not been reviewed by the FDA" .... not exactly something making me want to run out and buy it.

It's just another silly premade stack of "nootropics". It claims to contain:
GABA, L-tyrosine, Bacopa, alpha-GPC, vinpocetine, and huperzine A.

They don't openly advertise what the dosages are though. The problem with premade commercial stacks like this is they often either have way too much or way too little of certain ingredients to make it as effective and safe as they claim. And more importantly: everyone is different, you can't expect one fixed mixture of half a dozen drugs to work the same for everyone.

Some things they don't go out of your way to tell you: GABA taken orally is inactive, Bacopa and huperzine are both acetylchloinesterase inhibitors and OD on AChEI's is not very fun... and vinpocetine is suspected to be an immunosupressant.

Neither of them have clear cut stimulant effects as much as amphetamine.

Have you had any side effects and not to pry but are you taking any other prescription meds? I have anxiety and a lot of my problems it appears this pill would solve. That would be great if I didnt need to take anymore presciption drugs.
 
I wish someone had tried both addium and adderall and could relay the similarities and differences. I get great results from adderall but the price is prohibitive...

Its nothing like adderall. Its crap with fancy marketing.
 
I've tried both and Addium is nowhere close to Adderall. It doesn't even give me a buzz. If u have no tolerance for uppers of any sort, I imagine it might give you a little energy, like a cup of coffee. Save your money though.
 
Anxiety

If this drug would replace your prescription meds (or mine) your doctor would know about it. The only info out on this product (for the most part) is a PAID ADVERTISEMENT from a company that makes it, and of course the ad says it's the "new Viagra" and "most powerful brain enhanser".... I don't see that claim on the front page of the New York Times, ONLY in this ad paid for by the company that makes it. HELLO??? It's not controlled by the FDA because it's not a prescription drug; therefore, you have NO WAY of determining the amounts of ingredients in the "pill," what they do and whether the ingredients actually do anything.
As I said, if this pill was as good as the people who stand to make money on it say it is, your doc would know about it. Don't know about your GP, but mine hasn't mentioned it, nor has my neuropsychologist.

The FDA does not review any supplement (herbs, vitamins, supps, etc) claims -- in fact anything claiming to treat or cure any disease has to be classified as a controlled drug.

Actually -- (this is not an endorsement of Addium)

GABA taken orally does not cross the BBB -- BUT it affects the peripheral GABA receptors in your body -- these receptors actually affect the CNS through activation of the Vagus nerve and modulation of neurosteroids that modulate receptor function in the CNS -- so oral GABA supplementation actually does have an effect --

Bacopa normalizes Serotonin Metabolism and acts as a GABA receptor complex upregulator (via actual upregulation or an increase in receptor density is unresolved at this time) -- it also blocks the amnesiac effects of benzodiazepines when co-adnministered, but does not block anti-seizure effects.
 
I recently had been thinking about buying some addium online, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. My fiance is waiting for his doctors appointment for his adderall and it isnt for another three weeks. We just moved to a SC from NJ and it sucks not having anybody to network with and find shit. We bought some kratom capsules (Vietnam strain) and I take three of those and it helps me alot with energy. It's not a high or push like adderall, but it was 100% worth the 45 bucks and lasted the both of us 2 weeks. So in price compairison to adds, its not bad.

What is your definition of controlled drugs? The FDA has pulled herbal supplements off the market in the past so they definitely lightly monitor them also i could think of a dozen drugs that are prescription only but are not on the controlled substances list. Either way this pill is bs.
 
Not a stimulant=mostly placebo as sek said

If you think you might have a learning disability it's better to let a doctor figure out what's best for you.
 
Hey there friends. Just so we all know, Addium is quite an impressive scam. I would place its stimulation abilities between coffee and pseudoephedrine. The claim on their website states that humans only use 10 percent of their brain, and it unlocks the other 90 percent, like the pill from the movie Limitless. However, any research on this claim will uncover that humans actually use almost their entire brain all the time. The conscious brain, however, only uses roughly 20 percent of your brain power while the subconscious uses the other 80 percent. No pill can change that because the subconscious must exist and work at a higher rate than the conscious thought. If 100 percent of you brain was devoted to conscious thought you would likely overload and your body would shut down as an emergency reaction to extreme overstimulation.

Shine on you crazy diamonds.
