In the movie limitless, there's a drug called (NZT) that significantly enhances the main characters cognitive functions. Will we ever be able to, or at least come close to making something like this in the future? Whats your option?
We already have drugs that can enhance physical strength, coordination and speed. The brain is just another organ that can be enhanced, just a liiiiiiiiiittle more complex. We may eventually create something, while not quite like that, very similar. The question is of we will have other kind of enhancements available that can help more (like craneal prosthesis that allow is to have a supercomputer linked to our brain so it does all the calculation and processes for us). Time will tell.
I'm afraid I am not familiar with that one, sorry.

I have not seen this video but we already have plenty of drugs that do that. They are collectively known as Nootropic and a few notable ones are Caffeine and Nicotine as well as Amphetamine. The main problem here is not necessarily the effectiveness of the performance enhancement but what the side-effects would be since they tend to be severe with these types of drugs.
There are various nootropics on the market now that make that claim, some truer than others. I've used the various Racetams, Piracetam, Sublutamine for their cognitive enhancing properties with some success.

I think it's more likely that we'd have a brain/computer interface than it would for us to create a drug with that effect.

That would be great but I don’t think it would be like in that movie or like “Lucy” but they do have drugs that make you more focused and alert like Modafilin and vyVance
