	<title>Experience With Ordinator</title>
	<link>http://ask.metafilter.com/88934/Experience%2DWith%2DOrdinator</link>	
	<description>Does anyone else have experience with a drug called &quot;Ordinator&quot;? Back in the late 1980&apos;s I became interested in the so-called &quot;Smart drugs&quot;. I had read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0962741892/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/&quot;&gt;a book&lt;/a&gt; that included an address to a mail-order outfit in the UK called &quot;Interlab&quot;. I ordered a number of these products, and none of them did anything for me except a drug called &quot;Ordinator&quot;. The generic name for this drug is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenozolone&quot;&gt;Fenozolone.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I felt that it did indeed enhance my concentration and thinking ability, but over time I&apos;ve become more skeptical, and I have to wonder if I was simply adding wishful thinking to a mild euphoria. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Frankly back then I was something of an Ordinator proselyte, and would offer it to friends of mine. Curiously, other people had a very hit-or-miss reaction, unlike me.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Eventually I got a letter from Interlab saying that Ordinator was no longer available, but that they were substituting something that was equally as good. The new stuff did nothing for me, and I eventually lost interest in the whole genre. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Being that this all took place before the World Wide Web as we know it, I had no way of asking a wider audience if anyone had a similar experience. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
So, did anyone else use this drug?</description>

	<title>Nootropics</title>
	<link>http://ask.metafilter.com/7596/Nootropics</link>	
	<description>I&apos;ve been reading about Nootropics, or &quot;smart drugs&quot; for a little while, digging around in &lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;safe=active&amp;th=3e118346f12ac63e&amp;rnum=4&quot;&gt;rec.drugs.smart&lt;/a&gt;.  I wanted to ask if anyone in the mefi-verse has used some of the latest nootropics and what their experiences were.  I won&apos;t go into the complexities of my situation save to say that I&apos;d like to increase my focus and mental acuity during the conclusion of a long, life-draining project that rhymes with &quot;dissertation.&quot;  Thanks.</description>
