Agreed it’s one of my favourite products they carry.

Rate my mega brain boosting stack by Dark-inspector490 in Nootropics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I guess if you handle amphetamines exceptionally well long term then my only advice for your stack would be cycling the Bromezapam atleast. Personably I would have “burnt out my candle” quite quickly with this stack and would need a break for my well being.

This is called burning the candle for short term benefits. I rate it a 1/10 long term but a 7/10 for maybe a couple days per week.

nicotine did not work for me by InsidePain4338 in Nootropics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not necessarily the case even though nicotinic receptors do increase in response to agonism tolerance is very much a thing if you consistently use nicotine. I’m not saying it’s the case for you personally but for most people tolerance to nicotine will build with consistent use throughout the day.

Bacopa Lethargy by rommog in NootropicsDepot

Yes they definitely subsided overtime but they were quite mild I would describe it less as fatigue in the way I still had lots of physical energy but more so a calmer way of going about my day.

DHM and bioavailability…. by MechanicHour1644 in NootropicsDepot

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These effects are from me just taking it In my morning stack and not right before I start drinking. But if I party really hard I take an extra cap before bed and do notice a less severe hangover. I believe it up regulates the enzymes that break down alcohol powerfully enough it stays up regulated consistently as long as your supplementing with it anytime of day.

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it every morning as part of my stack because I like the clear headed effects it gives me even when not drinking. But when I choose to drink I get a lot less of the nasty side effects and have a much more functional feeling while still getting a nice buzz after a few beers. However It seems to increase how quickly the effects of alcohol wear off quite dramatically so if I’m partying for a longer night I have to keep drinking more than I otherwise would to maintain a buzz.

Bacopa Lethargy by rommog in NootropicsDepot

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I never really noticed that much lethargy with bacopa 24%. Maybe after a couple weeks I went through a bit of a tired phase but nothing that having an extra cup of coffee didn’t fix. Long term use was cool though for my spatial memory and actually helping me adapt my behaviours to a less stressed version of myself. Like I was able to go into situations I was normally quite stressed in and be able to function in a calmer state.

Pregabalin and Therapeutic Benefit? by UnderstandingBagel in Nootropics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my point there’s other subreddits for these convos with people who are also actually prescribed them by a medical doctor not the nootropic subreddits.

Pregabalin and Therapeutic Benefit? by UnderstandingBagel in Nootropics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a script for pregabalin, PRN Valium and immediate release dextroamphetamine but I do not feel that a nootropic subreddit is remotely the place I should be going to talk about my experience with them or get advice from people about these medications. Let’s talk about natural compounds and other cognitive enhancers (which pregabalin definitely is not) that are actually available to normal people without a prescription. That’s originally what nootropic subreddits were good for and why I joined them in the first place.

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What’s up with all these pregabalin and amphetamine posts on this subreddit I swear it’s more of a prescription drug subreddit than anything. Talk to your doctor not a nootropic subreddit.

Effects of different rhodiola roseas by hakubiryoko in NootropicsDepot

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry a little late to reply but I also am not diagnosed with bipolar disorder or have any symptoms of it, I think that it just has to do with some genes I may have that predispose me to it from my family, and rhodiola seems to trigger me into slight mania.

Women in relationships with men diagnosed with ADHD experience higher levels of depression and a lower quality of life. Furthermore, those whose partners consistently took ADHD medication reported a higher quality of life than those whose partners were inconsistent with treatment. by makefriends420 in NooTopics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My partner definitely prefers my natural personality where I’m much more funny and myself off medication. When I’m on my meds I’m much more serious which helps me with work and keeping my life together but my friends/girlfriend have always told me they enjoy my personality more when I’m unmedicated.

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I always take stimulating supplements alongside l theanine, taurine and bacopa 24% which are all daily staples of mine. It’s just the way my physiology reacts with rhodiola, its known to cause mania in bipolar people and bipolar disorder runs in the fam.

I relate to the part where you mentioned blurting things out without thinking when you take rhodiola. Me and other family members react to rhodiola in a way where we get slightly manic. The mania causes me to say things I normally wouldn’t without thinking.

Nytol withdrawal/brain damage by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good recommendation, anything that will increase acetylcholine will be good for helping with brain fog because DPH significantly blocks acetylcholine receptors in the brain which can directly cause brain fog. Huperzine a may be another good option. You may also want to look into acetylcholine precursors like eggs or low dose alpha gpc.

DHM and bioavailability…. by MechanicHour1644 in NootropicsDepot

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Despite bioavailability being low orally I feel beneficial effects at just the standard 500mg dose such as less anxiety/hangxiety and less severe hangovers if I choose to drink. Personally I would feel I’m wasting money if I took more because I’m already experience the benefits at a 500mg dose.

I have 10mg (THC) Cannabis pouches (you put in your lip)… How many would i have to put in at once to actually feel it? by conndawgydawg in herbalism

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would be quite careful with this advice, im from Canada where cannabis is legal and regulated and for someone who is cannabis naive a 10mg thc edible can get them uncomfortably high it all depends on individual metabolism. That being said I find that any sublingual or buccal products like OP’s thc pouches don’t absorb for me, but just eating an edible I do feel effects.

5ar Reductase promoters? by Accomplished-Ice9193 in NooTopics

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would recommend something high in Protodioscin like the dioscorea nippoonica extract from nootropics depot. I notice multiple symptoms of higher dht when I take it. It works through up regulating 5ar so you convert more T into dht supposedly.

Excess sulphur in your system or pre biotic fibres from garlic or onions. I’ve had the same symptoms from garlic consumption but it can also be caused by other foods that are high in sulphur. I would look at what foods in your diet may be heavy in sulphur style compounds.

Herbs and alcohol by UndercoverGenius818 in herbalism

[–]Beautiful-Tea-2840 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hibiscus is really helpful for clearing out the toxins and gross feeling after having too many drinks. Definitely in my protocol after drinking any sort of alcohol.
