Will nootropics and biohacks make me more productive at the workplace?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 45-year-old male working at a mid-senior level in an IT company. I have palpitation problems and a high blood pressure. I have been having this for more than eight years. I have come across many social websites that talk about Nootropics and Biohacks, and people mention that it enhances their performance in their workplaces. They have also mentioned that it enhances focus, motivation, clarity, and improves memory, and I would like to know whether it is good to take these medicines. If yes, please do prescribe medicines. Currently, I am on Feliz S Plus 0.5 or 5 mg once a day and Lonazep 0.5 mg once a day. If you need any further details about me, please let me know.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I would not recommend taking such substances at your age because of their adverse effects of anxiety, insomnia, nausea, and etching. These adverse effects may lead to the contrary, like lack of concentration and low performance in work. They are usually recommended for older ages. Instead, I would recommend taking a multivitamin supplement combined with Omega-3 DHA because they can improve your mental and physical performance more naturally without any adverse effects. Hope you will find this answer helpful.
