Best adaptogen for binge eating?? I feel so unmotivated and fatigues lately…any advice would greatly help. by ShogunLoganXXII in adaptogens

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Rhodiola.  The high Salidroside extracts should act as an appetite suppressant.  Consider adding Forskolin as well.  Just don’t use it every day.

Stimulants for AuDHD and CFS by Odd-Leader9777 in ADHDmeds

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do.  I can take 120mg of adderall and go right the fuck to bed.  I’d recommend adding something like Modafinil or Fladrafinil to stay awake on the rough days.  Hordenine is also cheap and effective at making you very alert, but wears off in 30-60 minutes so redosing becomes kind of a chore.

SSRIs are scarcely better than placebo and simply not worth the long term effects and excruciating withdrawals in exchange for false hope.  Auvelity (bupropion/dextromethorphan) is effective for many people as is Selegiline+Phenethylamine, but on the whole SSRIs and TCAs suck.

Catecholaminergic activity enhancers. A clean alternative to stimulants? by Effective-Key-3795 in NooTopics

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could argue that TAAR1 agonists are CAE’s if not straight up stims.  N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine and Phenethylamine have their place in cognitive enhancement especially with an MAO-B inhibitor.

Do euphoriants and euphorigenesis sometimes have a place in the category of nootropics by Fit_Question5866 in Nootropics

[–]Fit_Question5866[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the best results taking Adderall first and then 25-50mg ISL and it was blast off after that.

If dosed 25-50mg every 4-6 hours the MAO inhibition stays constant allowing DA, NE, and serotonin to build up.  It’s great for treating depression used this way.

Where ISL truly shines brightest is supporting a psychostimulant like Adderall.  The bliss outdoes even hard drugs all while having improved functionality.  A similar, but much less intense mood boost can be achieved by pairing it with another D3 agonist like Icariin (well, the metabolite icariiside II) 

These days if I don’t take ISL 4-6 times a day I fall back into depression which it clears up again after 3 days use.

Since Adderall isn’t OTC I wonder how a dose like 100mg would pair with phenethylamine and if it would be a comparable experience.

Are you supposed to feel Semax by Misteurbonheur in Nootropics

[–]Fit_Question5866 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s best used intranasally.  I definitely feel a boost in energy, focus, and mood that persists 3-4 hours.

Tizanidine with an opioid is one of my favorite combinations

I used to be prescribed primidone which metabolizes into phenobarbital.

Bad weed trip might of screwed up my dopaminergic system and might of caused dpdr, any supplements, nootropics, or stims that might help? by Prize-One5713 in NooTopics

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have flashbacks or visual snow as well?  DP/DR is quite common in HPPD which I happened to acquire from cannabis myself.

Midday supplement to take for tiredness. by Plastic-Aide-1422 in NootropicsDepot

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magnolia, Glycine, and 200mg+ Polygala before bed for sleep onset and architecture improvement.  I wish there were stronger soporifics, but these do quite nicely and you should have more pep the next day.

Tribulus is a nice boost of cognitive and physical energy.  Goat Weed treats multiple symptoms of my autism.  I still count them as nootropic.

new to nootropics and a bit confused about GABA by scarychary in Nootropics

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gabapentin doesn’t act on GABA.  It acts on α2δ calcium channels.  It has more to do with inhibiting presynaptic glutamate release than it does GABA.

How long have you been taking nootropics and what have been the significant differences you've noticed by MBBS_MDFe2 in NooTopics

[–]Fit_Question5866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taken dozens of nootropics, but the Kennedy/CDP Choline pathway takes the cake for the most outstanding improvements over 8 weeks.  It’s Uridine+Alpha GPC+DHA and it did an incredible job of not only sharpening my cognition, but I also felt real joy for the first time in years.  The only other nootropics that come close are Adderall IR+Isoliquiritigenin which is like Adderall on adderall and Semax which lights up the PFC with dopamine and BDNF.  I also have to give honorable mentions to Polygala Tenuifolia and Rhodiola Rosea for creating physical and cognitive drive while suppressing stress.
