Methylphenidate

StarStarStarStar

Used in ADHD and narcolepsy; increases dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain by blocking their reuptake.

StarStarStarStar

Modafinil

StarStarStarStar

Used for narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder, and obstructive sleep apnea; mechanism is unclear but may include dopamine reuptake inhibition.

StarStarStarStar

Donepezil

StarStarStarStar

Used for Alzheimer's Disease; inhibits acetylcholinesterase, which increases levels of acetylcholine in the brain.

StarStarStarStar

Rivastigmine

StarStarStarStar

Used for Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease dementia; inhibits acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase.

StarStarStarStar

Galantamine

StarStarStarStar

Used for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease; inhibits acetylcholinesterase and modulates nicotinic receptors.

StarStarStarStar

Memantine

StarStarStarStar

Used for moderate to severe Alzheimer's Disease; acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist to reduce glutamate excitotoxicity.

StarStarStarStar

Amphetamine

StarStarStarStar

Used in ADHD and narcolepsy; increases release of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain.

StarStarStarStar

Atomoxetine

StarStarStarStar

Used for ADHD; acts as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.

StarStarStarStar

Used for ADHD, often in conjunction with stimulant medications; acts as an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist.

StarStarStarStar

Piracetam

StarStarStarStar

Used off-label for cognitive enhancement; it modulates AMPA receptors, but the full mechanism is unclear.

StarStarStarStar

Noopept

StarStarStarStar

Used off-label for cognitive enhancement; increases expression of NGF and BDNF in the hippocampus.

StarStarStarStar

Aniracetam

StarStarStarStar

Used off-label for cognitive enhancement; modulates AMPA receptors and increases release of serotonin and dopamine.

StarStarStarStar

Phenylpiracetam

StarStarStarStar

Used off-label for cognitive enhancement; increases dopamine, norepinephrine, and has a stimulant-like effect.

StarStarStarStar

Bacopa monnieri

StarStarStarStar

Used for cognitive enhancement; enhances synaptic communication via modulation of neurotransmitters and protein synthesis related to learning and memory.
