Re: Drug for chemo brain

Im not sure how long it has been around. Although its prescription medication, it is basically a large dose of folic acid, B12 and acetylcysteine. It seems it is prescribed to treat early memory loss in patient developing Alzheimer's or vascular dementia, although there are other uses mentioned. I had seen just a few posts when running a search for "chemo brain" or "chemo fog"and the name of the medication where others had tried it, and I wondered if anyone here had given it a shot?
