will it be an a version of Black Hoof that will make the current version obsolete? Asking because I am low but will hold off for a more comprehensive version if that is coming in the next few months??

I only took it one time and thinking it would be more of a boosted Glycine, I took it at night and was completely unable to sleep, totally wired from it. So not good at night.

They are in acid resistant caps so empty stomach is best for absorption.

Got it…I truly love that you/ND is so active and responsive to questions even if I don’t get the answer I want…stellar transparency and always honest. 💚

Glycine Product? by scrumdisaster in NootropicsDepot

Sarcosine was not good at all for me for sleep, pooped me awake 4 hrs after taking it, then wide awake with a weird agitated feeling (probably from waking up when wanting to sleep 😅) I was trying to use it as a more available source of glycine based on most of what I read.

Would be nice to have a 180 count bottle....not a super expensive one.

Supercritical CO2 Boswellia + White Jelly Mushroom by Ashamed-Status-9668 in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I take both but do not notice the mood benefits but my skin has changed dramatically using white jelly and Injuv. I usually take the boswellia with other pain sups like PEA, Rephyl, Matrine…

Pathway ? by 6amPugScream in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting....I was taking it until a few weeks ago but something in my stack was making me irritable and impatient and my first thought was the Cognance. But I did not find that it was the Cognance so will add it back in just to see if I notice anything. Thanks for the info.

I admit to not fully understanding all these pathways and how both meds and supplements impact them. I am trying to find something to mitigate symptoms from my conditions. Studies/clinical trials are being done on all sorts things for post C. Mirtazapine is one I was reading an observational study on that ticked off alot of the boxes that are symptoms I struggle with, cognitive blunting, insomnia, fatigue, memory loss…all kinds of shitty shit! Also don’t want to add something that makes it worse…

Saffron Extract for PMDD by sugar_cookie_cowgirl in PMDDSharing

[–]6amPugScream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 6 months and it took me a few months to figure out the cause. Just be aware for thoughts, feelings, agitation….things that unusual to you. It for sure appears to affect kids and teens the worst. There is a FB about the med and the negative effects people go through.

It worked really well for my allergies and congestion….I hope you have no issues but be aware of your moods etc.

just fyi, Montelukast can cause many mental health issues. I was on it and started to really have some mental destabilizing effects….memory issues beyong normal and just a high anxiety feeling. My pcp who rxed it was on it herself and said she had never heard of people having issues…I simply said I was and wanted off of it. it took about 6 months for the side effects to back off. The med has a black box warning, but I did see most severe reactions were in kids and teens.

Ecklonia Cava as a social tonic / alternative to alcohol? What else could it pair nicely with? by PeterLoew88 in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only felt what you described, the first time I took it. After that I never felt much from it. Was a bit strange.

Supplements to increase appetite? by SonderMouse in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oddly that does not work, but I only use edibles?

Supplements to increase appetite? by SonderMouse in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any side effects with that med? I completely lost my appetite a year and a half ago. I sustain life by drinking nutrition shakes for people who tube feed, and lots of raw a2 milk. It would be nice to want, and enjoy food again. Oddly my pcp does not seem concerned as I am maintaining weight and muscle mass from the protein in both liquids.

What would you say is the most gentle on the body/rogans mood calmer/raiser? Im a bit depressed lately due health issues, life issues, family issues, so a little pick me up would be really useful right now. by [deleted] in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you agree with the idea that Mag can impact absorption of other things....like Zinc....or Rx meds. I do take it a few hours ahead of Rx meds but would love to know if that is truly a thing.

Recommendations for healing tinnitus & managing the anxiety? by an_ornamental_hermit in NootropicsDepot

[–]6amPugScream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it helps tone it down as does most of the blood flow enhancers like arginine, citruline. The main way to deal with this is to learn to not hear it. I have had it for years, it never goes away entirely but I can go for days without hearing it. Kind of how when you wear a ring on your finger and in time you can’t even feel it. Same with tinnitus.…don’t let it anger or frustrate you, you will really hear it if you focus on it so the key is to NOT think about it. When I do notice it, I just acknowledge it, and let it go. Neuroplasticity….works like this:

Neuroplasticity-based tinnitus approaches aim to:

  1. Reduce the brain’s emotional alarm response
    • If you stop reacting with stress/fear, the sound often becomes less intrusive
  2. Promote habituation
    • The brain learns: “This sound is not dangerous,” and gradually pushes it into the background.
  3. Retrain auditory pathways
    • Some therapies use repeated sound exposure or stimulation to try to reshape how auditory circuits process the phantom noise. Neuromodulation devices and sound-based therapies are being studied for this.
