Anti-Anxiety supplements

Probably erase pro or alphamine

But neither has an actual diuretic that I'm aware of. Nor is a sleep aid. Coop always circumventing my questions/statements :D

Erase Pro is absolutely a diuretic. Reducing estrogen and cortisol creates diuresis, and B. diffusa has direct data showing a diuretic effect. I'm not circumventing anything...it wouldn't make sense to add another water balance optimizer to our lineup
 
Following my Epro run I had a whole lot of water retention, is a rebound effect possible when coming off? I was stacking with ABE.

Nope, erase is a suicidal AI so your estrogen (and thus water retention) should have continued to been low for at least a few weeks after ceasing use
 
Can it counter the water retaining effects of alpha y? I'm currently on 3 scoops of Alphamine and 1 or 2 Alphaburn. It looks like I'm holding water.

Happens to me on alphamine too. I knew I couldn't be the only one dammit. But yes, erase seemed to alleviate it for me the second time around
 
Bulk Picamilon powder. 250mg twice daily, you're welcome!! Cured my severe anxiety within hours! Warning about Phenibut, it's very addictive, not to be used more than once or twice a week. Picamilon can be used daily
 
I'm wondering if utilizing GABA agonists consistently is a good thing. I've been reading more and more about these, and it sounds like they all can trigger rebound depression/anxiety. Even ashwaghanda is a GABA agonist, and an acquaintance of mine had to stop taking it despite it delivering great sleep because the next day upon rising he was moody all day and had apprehension about the most trivial matters. It seems like most sleep aids are GABA agonists though, except for theanine, or even better suntheanine

Very true. I would definitely advise against long term use of phenibut. I've read some horror stories about addiction/withdrawal symptoms.

Better yet, just avoid altogether. I've read horror stories even at minimal doses. I was astonished to learn what supps constitute a GABA agonist. Even valerian root. The only ones that I understand to be completely void of potential sides are 5htp and theanine

Over dosing of 5htp can result in serotonin syndrome. Avoid use especially if you are RX anti depressants, and if you are prone to depression, stay under 25mg daily.

Avoid combining any supplement with Xanax. It is metabolized chiefly by CYP3A4, making it very prone to drug-drug interactions as far as half-life and elimination are concerned

I take Ashwagandha and Relora nightly as a sleep aide and I have thrown in .25mg Xanax a couple of times and had good effects/no sides. Do you recommend I avoid this specific combo in the future, or is it alright?

As a side note, how long can I run ashwagandha/relora before I need to take a break (take 1 of each nightly, NOW Foods brand)? How long would said break have to be? Thanks!
 
Is a nootropic different from a GABA agonist? Aniracetam was classified as nootropic with no mention of being a GABA agonist. From what I gather, they are different. Just want to clarify.

Nootropic is a very broad term for anything that enhances memory or cognitive function. A GABA agonist refers to the mechanism of how a drug gets the desired effect. So it can be both, but a lot of nootropics work by mechanisms that are not entirely clear.
