Usually providers blow off these symptoms [esp. in Women]… and don’t order the correct tests to figure it out.

Is the compromise of the blood-brain-barrier attributable to inflammation?

1. Caffeine: probably the best-supported fast option for alertness. It crosses the BBB readily and is typically absorbed quickly.

1. Nicotine: enters the brain extremely rapidly, especially by inhalation. Can briefly improve attention and alertness, but tolerance and dependence develop quickly.

4. Methylphenidate: also produces relatively rapid central stimulant effects, depending heavily on formulation and route
