Hey im new here but i thought id start sharing my experiences after lurking and reading what everyone else does.

27 female, sensitive to stims but build up toerance VERY quickly. suffers from anxiety and ADD

anxiety +ADD= medicine cabinet full of supps smile.gif

i have tried Adrafinil (olmifon and generic adrafinil in capsules 300mgs each) with good results. Taking pure adrafinil on an empty stomach was the key to getting great results with this pro-drug. About 20 min(they say 40min but i felt it sooner) after i took it, i felt an overwhelming urge to start working on my thesis on nuclear science and prolonged radiation exposure...just kidding i started cleaning the baseboards. After about two hours i was still feeling very motivated to work. i actually like doing housework but getting the energy to do it is sometimes(always) the problem. I forget now if i took another dose later in the day, knowing me i probably did.I DO remember waking up the next day, not even putting clothes on (TMI? you say? NONSENSE!) and i was scrubbing the floor in the pantry as my husband sat on the couch with a worried look on his face.

I am trying to remember if i had a hard time sleeping that night. like i said i am sensitive to stims. Im the type that cant have caffeine after 4. What i have read says that you should be able to "turn off" the adrafinil, you are supposed to be able to choose what you want to do on this nootropic. I dont think that i had a lot of trouble falling asleep but maybe a bit. nothing to complain about, and trust me im a squeaky, squeaky wheel my friends. i couldnt take this everyday, i would build up a tolerance. some people dont seem to react to adrfinil but others take it every single day.(according to customers on our ebay)

Piracetam. 1000mg each day for 4 days.
This drug made me feel very calm. i wasnt nervous doing the daily things that needed to be done. normally i stress on keeping the house in order and obligations with friends and family. Anxiety was nominal and while i exercised, i felt like i was breathing better and had more endurance. Music also seemed more interesting. Just a note, i had not read that piracetam helps with physical endurance until after i noticed that effect. After the second day piracetam stopped working. i bought choline and inositol and still nothing. what DID happen were these weird bumps on my face, not like acne but something equally appalling and not acceptable. every once in awhile i try it again, never with the same results.

Aniracetam
nothing

i have written about my experience with prolintane so i wont go over that again.

tyrosine, tryptophan, rhodiola, b vit., flax oil(omega 3) etc.
none of these had any noticible effect

levodopa
Could definitely tell it was doing something. i might have taken to much, 200 mg. i was a little irritable and my stomach was a little upset. Doing things in town was easier though, i wasnt so nervous. i will try again maybe with a GABA?

i probably missed a ton of key points..
