How Long Does it Take Vinpocetine to Kick In?

Sandra77 posed some questions in her recent comment:

Can you tell me more about how you take vinpocetine (e.g., with or without food, etc.)? Also, how long did it take for the effect of the vinpocetine to kick in (i.e., did you take it for a week before the tinnitus decreased or disappeared)? Obviously, I don't know if vinpocetine will work for me, but I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thanks.

I roll over very early every morning and take 40 mgs of Vinpocetine on an empty stomach, along with other supplements including ginko biloba.  Mid-afternoon I take 20 mgs of Vinpocetine. This keeps the ringing/sizzling at bay for the day. I don't worry about whether or not there's food in my stomach, but I eat very little during the day. Vinpocetine seem to take several hours to kick in.  I've never had any side effects.

Sandra77, what caused your tinnitus?  Please let me know if Vinpocetine works for you.
