I am trying to follow my busy doctors request. I asked her if it would be safe for me to take Vinpocetine, which my closest friend says has helped her so much. She is 71 years old, has used it since using it on her mother, who has passed away. I have begun having isolated incidents where I don't remember something, or can't remember where I have put it, after intensive plans to keep from losing or forgetting things. I am almost 87 years old, in three weeks.
