Does anyone have experience with Prevagen helping with confusion?

It turns out that it is Neuriva that contains Phosphatidyl serine. I've been taking phosphatidyl serine for around 10 years now.
I'm 82. My mind is fine other than normal old age problems. It's best to remain curious and to use your brain. My close relative has Alzheimer's and was never curious at all.

An 85 year old friend began taking Prevagen. She said her memory was better after 90 days.
Her daughter called her on it and said: Mom - I noticed that before 90 days had passed you were completing sentences better.
My Doctor dismissed Prevagen, but after I told him of my friend he said he was going to try it.
I have heard from several sources that it does take 90 days to begin noticeable improvement.

Prevage’s is an expensive waste of money. It does absolutely nothing! Although it may help in your imagination of it working. I have found “Youthful Brain” which is chucked full of Vitamin B12 is helpful.

I am a physician (internal medicine/geriatrics) and a pharmacist. Prevagen is not FDA approved and there is zero evidence that it helps memory. Claims that it is "pharmacist recommended" are worthless and the ads give nothing more than anecdotal reports (worthless). I would also be the first to tell you that the approved (prescription only) drugs are not very effective either, but they are FDA approved, based on scientific studies that show some benefit. Our hope is that new, better and safer treatments come online sooner than later. Save your money on Prevagen and similar unproven OTC products. There is a huge profit motive to promote and sell them. Full disclosure, I am long retired from both professions. My wife is cognitively impaired and is on none of these drugs or supplements.

Thanks for the insights. I started this thread to get feedback from the forum and it has been beneficial. I am sure there are folks who benefit from the drug; possibly the placebo effect but the fact that it is not recommended for those with dementia was enough to steer clear -- the commercials are very creepy.

I totally agree. These drugs that sell and tell you this works and that works..Nine times out of Ten are a farce. I think they give people false hope. I especially think that speaking with our own physicians can give you the pros and cons . I myself am not wasting my ǰmoney on a promise....blah, blah , blah

I started feeling shaky inside and mild nausea after taking Prevegen for 6 weeks. The symptoms have continued 6 months after stopping the supplement.

As a (retired) physician, I can tell you that Prevagen has been thoroughly studied and has no proven benefits for memory or cognitive loss. There are plenty of anecdotal tales of it helping, but this is likely nothing more than placebo affect. It's an expensive waste of money.

My brother is a physician in USA. I was talking to him today and I asked him about Prevagen, He said patients say that it works and he also objectively saw patients showing some improvement.

@abid These are anecdotal observations and not backed by any scientific evidence. The long term safety and risk of drug interactions are unknown. AARP is concerned about the misleading and unsubstantiated claims by the makers of Prevagen:

"Last year, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and New York’s attorney general sued Quincy Bioscience for false advertising in federal district court in New York. The case was dismissed but is being appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

“The statements Quincy Bioscience makes to sell Prevagen — that it treats memory loss — are unsubstantiated and misleading,” said Julie Nepveu, a senior attorney with AARP Foundation Litigation, which filed the brief on behalf of AARP and the foundation." (from the AARP website).
