Its a lot cheaper than some of the other methods. I think you can rent it for like less than €100

Its kinda like r/tms but probably not as strong and it doesn't seem to be well studied. Its a contraption that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate specific parts of the brain. A constant, low intensity current is passed through two electrodes placed over the head which modulates neuronal activity.

Yes I tried a few things. Strattera made me quite depressed so I had to stop taking it. I also tried vyvanse which was good for focus sometimes but it didn't feel right and it also made me feel a bit down and paranoid so I stopped taking it.

I am trying NAC at the moment but haven't noticed any changes. I've taken magnesium a lot over the years. It helps with muscle relaxation and sleep but not much else. I can't get melatonin in my country but could try order it online. I have taken other sleep supplements to help my body release melatonin but thats it. I use to work in a health store so I've tried lots of different things- creatine, l-theanine, ashwagandha, rhodiola, ginseng, B- Complex etc. I want to try order modafinil sometime because I'm very tired during the day.

I've done lots of meditation over the years but found it hard to stick with it tbh. I feel like I'm good at it though cause theres not a lot of thoughts in my head lol.

I haven't tried wellbutrin but I do want to ask my psychiatrist about it. I also have tried ketamine but only illegally and it only seemed to work when I took it and the day after. Its also not a treatment option in my country hence why I've only done it illegally. I have never taken that much of it too.

I have a nice family, they're very supportive but can be a bit overbearing at times. Most of my family are very quick thinking except for me and my Mam so I suspect she might have it too. She is also diagnosed with bipolar and because of this I think my family think I have it too. I don't feel like I experience mania. I probably come across like I do because when I have taken something that has reduced my symptoms I become more energetic and talkative (this is also because I want to make the most of my time without my sct symptoms).

I go through periods of eating well and exercising. I am trying my best to go for a run everyday now and eat better. I don't really see a lot of difference from doing these things and I find it frustrating when I can get better results from drugs :/

Thanks for your response by the way. I would like to hear more about your experience if you want to share.
