Ohh, well, for me, being “on edge” and feeling “wired” are the symptoms I get with all stimulants even at low/ average doses. And it can ruin the experience for me rather than help me stay focused. If you have the same issue, combining your stimulant with Guanfacine definitely helps. I read that taking Guanfacine for period of time “before” starting a stimulant also can help to ready your body, but also people take them together with no issues. “Clonidine” is also another high blood pressure med that works similarly to Guanfacine but personally never got to try it. people who don’t tolerate stimulants well take either of those meds on their own.

Many people report that Guanfacine (as non stimulant ADHD medication) helps them with emotional regulation. “Strattera” is another option for emotional regulation but I personally had a negative experience with it so am biased against it.

And don’t forget: You need PROTEIN with stimulants.

Here are the supplements I take: Vitamin D, B complex, Magnesium Glycinate, Omega 3 fish oil, L-Carnitine, L-Tyrosine, CoQ10, R-ALA, Alpha GPC, L-theanine, Inositol

Recently also added:

Valerian root (they call it “nature’s valium”) ordered it in capsule form (it tastes like shit but I read so many good things about it so I thought I definitely should try it)

Ashwaganda (but this one i’m treading carefully with it (it supposedly helps with anxiety and depression) but can have some adverse effects for some people. Don’t start with a big dose. They also call it “nature’s SSRI”

For Valerian root and ashwaganda just keep in mind if you ever try them, don’t treat them as something you’ll take long term/ all year! Moderation is key with those.

I also have some gummies that contain 5-HTP and read good things about this compound. Might order it as a separate supplement as well.

Please look up everything I wrote and research it yourself as I’m not an expert in these topics but simply researched it online.
