Nicergoline: my favorite nootropic vasodilator

Been dabbling with noots for a good 9 months now. So far I've given the following vasolidators a whirl: hydergine, nicergoline, vinpocetine, gingko, picamilon, pyritonol, niacin (high dose), creatine, and CoQ10 (Ubiquionol). Nicergoline takes the prize in terms of noticeable effects on brain function, hands down.
The mornings that I include 30mg of nicergoline I feel remarkably clearheaded, as if thoughts are flowing naturally. Probably the best way to explain it is what the exact opposite of an alcohol hangover feels like, from a mental perspective. Or perhaps what it feels like after some vigorous cardio exercise, when the brain feels invigorated.
Curious to hear anybody else's experience with this drug. I really tried to like hydergine, which seems to be the ergot derivative of choice in the nootropic world, but the side effects (stuffy nose and overall fatigue) overwhelmed any benefits I perceived.

A lot of the online pharmacies that carry other Rx nootropics have nicergoline. I bought 60 of the 30mg pills from goldpharma.com. Think I paid around $65 with shipping, which took about a week.
Probably too pricey (for me at least) to include in the daily stack as is. But for an acute effect, I think there's a good bang for the buck.

That's expensive! It would be interesting to try though.
