I take “performance enhancing drugs” every morning. I take escalitopram and Adderrall. Every day at 2pm I drink a really strong cup of another “performance enhancing drug,” coffee.

Other substances that are performing enhancing: water. Being properly hydrated is key, as is having eaten.

I take a vitamin B complex and fish oil, too. I don’t think either would show up on a drug test.

My dad is on Aricept. It is NOT a performance enhancing drug. Anytime anyone jokes about it I get furious.

According to my own physician, the most important things to mitigate my own risk of dementia are regular exercise and adequate sleep. Again, both improve performance and neither would show up in a pee test.
