I’ve been taking the Alzheimer’s drug donepezil for its nootropic and memory benefits but I’ve noticed something interesting change during my workouts. I am having the strongest muscle contractions of my life.
Donepezil is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor which means it inhibits what breaks down acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for memory and rem sleep etc, but also plays a huge role in muscle contraction.
This has led me to research more into donepezil and I have found it has been shown to increase many growth factors and also differentiate satellite cells.
I think this medicine could be very helpful in bodybuilding or even powerlifting for learning the mechanics of a movement.
If you decide to experiment with this medicine be careful and start low. Last time I was using this at the maximum therapeutic Alzheimer’s dose 20mg I tore my pec on the concentric (positive) due to such strong contractions. You may also notice muscles twitching, excessive stimulation, and GI issues. But even at 5mg I am noticing the positives again.
