    Best Nootropic For Mood And Happiness

    Honestly everyone here messing around with Phenibut... I wouldn't touch that stuff. Just see a reasonable physician who will prescribe 1 mg Ativan (even only 20 tabs) and you can take that as needed for any sleep or anxiety issues. Much safer IMO since the dosing and metabolites are very well...

    Best Nootropic For Mood And Happiness

    I used to go out after a full day of taking adderall, pop 1-2 mg of ativan or klonipin, then prob drink 8-10 drinks in the span of a few hours.... and then would feel mostly sober only a few hours later.. I guess I have high tolerance to gabaergic drugs lol. deff don't advise this for others...

    What to take when you don't take stims?

    Yeah it could be related to acetylcholine as well. I didn’t know you were taking medications that could influence dopamine. To be honest bupropion does affect dopamine but it mostly increases NE when you compare the two. With standard racetams they do work through AMPA receptors and other...

    What to take when you don't take stims?

    You prob already have descent levels of dopamine at baseline. High amounts of dopamine can paradoxically cause the feeling of tiredness. It happens to me if I take too much adderall. I literally feel so tired. But that’s partially the point of the med. when your dopamine levels are optimal you...

    The Arachidonic Acid Help Guide

    There are so many compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties it will make your head spin trying to get rid of them all. Add that to the fact that some are included in preworkout drinks. The only compounds I’d worry about are ones that go against the ARA pathway specifically. So any...

    Best Nootropic For Mood And Happiness

    While your technically right I would just say I can notice a difference mentally on Zoloft in terms of cognition, independent of mood. For some reason it is the only SSRI that doesn’t negatively impact cognition in some fashion (some other ones are also minor but still have negative effects) and...

    Best Nootropic For Mood And Happiness

    Yeah I understand and honestly didn’t expect much from the product. But I have taken other drugs or supplements that increase NGF peripherally and the feeling of that itchyness and slight increase in my subjective temp is consistent and also happened with this product. I prob won’t buy it again...

    Best Nootropic For Mood And Happiness

    Well the cost of doing 100 daily (I did 60 usually) was cost prohibitive for me. Especially when I can take Zoloft and get just as high if not higher increases in BDNF. And there are many other drugs and supplements that increase BDNF. Sure they aren’t direct agonists of the receptor, but I...

    Best Nootropic For Mood And Happiness

    I noticed nothing from 78dhf after months of use. But I did notice some enhancement from lions mane. And deff got itchy which I hear is peripheral nerve stimulation/healing.

    The Arachidonic Acid Help Guide

    The theory (used in the loose sense) is that lecithin or gms can act as an emulsifier and allow higher absorption of the ARA. The concept is similar to washing your hands with just water or washing your hands with water and soap. The soap emulsifiers the dirt and leaves your hands cleaner. So...

    Hcg + clomid

    Invalid Link Removed The article above basically details what I was thinking 3000 iu hcg 2-3 times weekly with 25 clomid ed or 50 eod. Bottom left of the algorithm basically is what seems to be going on. Obviously this will deff increase low Test. What he does with the results I can’t say

    Hcg + clomid

    The proposed plan from the dr reminds me of a male fertility type treatment. High doses of hcg and then clomid each playing their own part and being synergistic, at least for sperm count lol

    The Arachidonic Acid Help Guide

    You can get lecithin for super cheap at local stores like Walmart. I still haven’t found GMS anywhere locally but amazon has good prices on it. But lecithin usually comes capped already from what I’ve bought but gms does have the added benefit of being a volumizer. Can’t really go wrong with...

    Is this overkill?

    Play it by ear with the clomid dose. You might be able to get away with just 25 throughout since you’ll be more recovered than not. My good friend almost doubled his test levels with 25 clomid and a tiny dose of letro twice a week. It’s always good to have an AI around to be honest but I doubt...

    Is this overkill?

    See it's a tricky situation because the low estrogen could very well be from low testosterone (i.e., not high enough test levels to aromatize in sufficient amounts), or it could be isolated and your test is in the normal range. The issue is that AIs also keep test levels higher than they would...

    Is this overkill?

    Could always be estrogen is too low. Nolva is slightly estrogenic so could help low estrogen states. Do you have estrogen related sides or the opposite? Likely issue here is just your body decreasing lh output from stopping the serm. Sometimes can take a dip for a week or two before going back...

    Taking On Anxiety

    Look into lavender oil capsules 80 mg per. The burps taste disgusting (in my opinion, which is why I stopped it. Some like it tho or don’t experience it) but it’s very effective for the type of anxiety you have.

    Taking On Anxiety

    I will say that when I take GABA in its regular form I deff get an anxiolytic effect. I’ve tried it multiple times and ruled out placebo just from the consistency with each dose. However, all the research out there says GABA taken orally doesn’t really get through the BBB...so this is one of...

    Is this overkill?

    Do you have any nolva left? You could run 10 daily for another 2-4 weeks if you have to. Might just need more time for your axis to be stable on its own

    Taking On Anxiety

    The influence stimulants have on personality or behavior likely stems from whatever personality type you are to begin with. If you are an introvert like me, and an analyst (NT), likely stims will make you want to get away from people and get back to being “productive”, whereas I know extroverted...
