Hi guys,
Stumbled on your site. Found it very interesting, and the type of info I am interested in. Thanks for all of your interesting and contributive posts that I have read so far.
Anyway I have a small background in trying supplements to enhance feeling of wellbeing. I guess this was spurred on by the discovery that some thing so small (rec drugs) can affect your world so much(unfortunately not indefinately).
I would call myself mildy depressed and mildly anxious at times as a general guide, however have never really go to bad stages, lets say medium level dep and anxiety. However I have had pretty bad comedowns after rec drugs. I havent done rec drugs for like 2 years, and plan not too either. I drink here and there though.
However as all people have, I have been pissed off with life, people, myself, parents etc, and I've noticed that certain substances can affect my mood, and have tried diff supplements to make my view of the world nicer :)
I havent really stuck with anything at all as a supplement. None really have done much.
Havent tried any rx drugs, but im interested in trying tramadol( only cos i might be able to get it).. and selegiline if I can get it.have tried inositol... that was ok... I got pretty flushed on it, and doses of 1 gram( i never tried doses of over 2g) used to make me feel smacked out, but it never really made me feel good and ready to take on the world. Now i notice, when i try inositol at say 1 gram I get a little headache and get somewhat stimulated. not that nice of a stimulation though so i dont use it.
got a really really nice buzz off 100mg( like MDMA) of ALA the first but that wore off after 2 days, and now i take it regularly for fitness purposes, but i doesnt give me any type of high.
recently have been taking like over 20-30grams of fish oil, and i think that somewhat did something, but seems to not anymore or anything real special.
right now im feeling ok(average), just wanna be a bit more stimulated, and a bit more lovey.
5-htp doesnt really do much for me at all... anyone know if there is something else you can take with it so it can actually affect your serotonin levels in your brain.
A-L-C did nothing nice for me.
Anyway i bought NADH yesterday, (after reading some posts, especially Ron's trial). I tried it today (5mg). It flushed me, it gave me a headache that lasted over 8 hours, it stimulated me in the morning, but it didnt really feel nice, made me a little more anxious i guess, or just wired. I guess you could also say I was irritable... Ron says he got that way after weeks of taking it, so i dunno. Anyone have any thoughts on this... other ways to take it? other things to take it with to make it work better....im thinking of trying TMG as Ron has suggested. though i dunno why that would work to make it less stimulative and less irritating??Next on my list to try is L-theanine, and nicotinamide(btw i enjoy flushing)
Anyway, anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about what I have said, or can relate to me? I look forward to chatting with y'all.
