Has Anyone Used A Lions Mane Supplement To Help With Your Memory And/or Cognitive Skills And Has It Helped You?

I had no interaction issues. However, I also saw no real effect on memory. It sounded VERY promising.
All of that being said: like so many other parts of this condition, results vary across individuals. I never found any indication of interactions, including discussions with my epileptologist.

It sounds promising with helping your memory but I’ll ask the pharmacist about its interactions with my meds.

I’ve heard something about it, but I don’t remember in what context (whether it helped or not). I don’t think I’ve come across any scientific articles about it, but I’ll look now that you’ve mentioned it, and get back to you if I find anything!

….Well, I think it is a natural supplement made from the functional (*psychoactive) “Lion’s Mane” mushroom, that is supposed to help maintain cognitive function and attention. Now, I’m not sure about the interaction with seizures, or more specifically with seizure meds, so I’ll have to do some more research. But when in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy!
