Hi Adrianna23!
I thought I should add that I think Ginko Biloba is a super supplement for memory. I've been taking it all semester, at a pretty low dose (can't remember at the moment), and then bought a new brand thinking it was the same dosage, and continued at my normal 2 pills a day. That week after shifting brands I noticed I was able to remember the names of people that I haven't thought of in aaaaages, and all sorts of wierd things like the exact day of the week and the date of a concert I went to months ago.
I then checked the bottle and turns out the dose was a lot higher than my previous bottle, so i definitely know ginko biloba works like that without any placebo effects.
I noticed it works really good for long term memory, but not sure about short term memory which is maybe more useful in your case. Anyways, it's worth a try.
Just be mindful of the type you get, like if it's extract or dried herb, because there should be a significant difference in dosage between those. I've only taken dried herb in capsules, but my first bottle was a ridiculous low dose (like 120 mg-ish), and my new I take about 800mg. Dried herb seems much more effective at higher than just 120mg.
And if Isabelle is right, then it can work as your anti-androgen too! I don't think I noticed any significant effects in that way, but it might affect you differently.
Good luck!!
