Does Galantamine lose its effect over time?

Hi! There seems to be a lot of controversy about whether Galantamine loses its effect if taken too often. I am not concerned about side effects like nausea, as I've been lucky enough not to have any. I also respect those who do not believe in taking supplements too often because it hurts ones potential to develop the ability on ones own - I completely respect that opinion, but am really looking for an answer to the actual question in the title for this thread.

Thanks in advance!!

There's no controversy about it that I'm aware of - if you take it too often you'll burn out your nicotinic receptors and then have to stop taking it for a long time - months probably - before your sensitivity comes back. Most people get carried away in the beginning and experience this, then have to stop for a while and put themselves on a regimen so they don't overdo it again. Happened to me..

I just realized why you might say there's controversy. Some people on the G+C thread have said in the beginning that they're taking it daily and it's working. I believe they also come in later saying that after a little while that backfired and they had to then dry out for months in order to bring their receptivity back up. I was fooled by this in the beginning - but I learned the hard way.

You shouldn't take it more than once a week or so, and I wouldn't even do that every week.
