I know adderall is pretty terrible, but lets be real..the focus it gives is pretty amazing. I have tried many nootropics and nothing compares to adderall as far as motivating you etc..that being said there are many risk that come with it. That is why I take high dose of magnesium to attempt in protecting my brain from reprograming(so to speak). I did want to give that rhodiola root. I wasmt sure if it was worth the money though. I am affraid I will become too dependant on adderall to even study. Like I can see how it reprograms your brain etc..
That being said ima give myself 2 months off from it this summer.
Hops and valerian is something ive always wanted to try...any particular type of hops that work best?
I like the idea of fasting off of the adderall all summer. You could count it as part of a cycle lol. Hops is hops as long as it's clean. You can even mix it in with your bud. There's a hippie that sells herb blends down by the college that's hops, chamomile, and some other misc. crap (like sage) that you split with your flowers. pretty cool relaxation that way. And if you vape it you can use the loose leaf for food source later
just a thought. but I enjoy smoking for the time constraint. I seem to always be in a rush hauling 18hr days.
oh you can cushion the uptake on your adderall with some good omega 3s too, just to keep your omega 6s from making ADHD worse.
EDIT/PS: youre right. You will rewire your brain if you don't cycle off of it. I haven't been on meds in over 2 years by finding natural alternatives. Currently running Nutrilite Rhodiola 110 (×2/d, focus), pes erase (2-3/d, for cortisol and excess estrogen), a valerian and hops blend from Nutrilite (×3/d on weekends) and a shut ton of b complex. Plus 1/2 bowl 2x/d. With chamomile occasionally. The withdrawals from.cycling on and off of adderall weren't worth it so I might be a bit less focused, but my dyslexic brain feels freer.
