Gingko is one of the most researched supplements and is widely used to prevent and counteract cognitive decline, so I plan to take it indefinitely, even if I eventually go off psych meds. There were rumors of gingko's causing cancer but the info was not valid and reputable sources rebutted it.
It does act a bit like aspirin though in terms of blood thinning, so given that you take blood pressure meds, I would run taking Gingko by the family doctor.

back when I was in school, (when my BP ran to instant death stroke levels) before I started taking BP meds, I used Ginko as a study aid because of the propaganda that it helped with memory retention. I don't know if it did or not, as I always aced my exams anyway but I figured I would try it. I did not know it could be used for medication side effects in the dysfunctional area.
so thank you for the information, I will ask thr doc when next I see one.
