My Reddit Posts

 Thank you for this group

I am always annoyed that I am not allowed to talk about any of the natural alternatives to stimulants on the ADHD group. It's infuriating. I thought I would help by giving you guys a break down of my own style currently. Started experimenting with nootropics and supplements. Kept what worked. Quit what didn't.
- First I went on the keto diet. (Had no idea this would help! It does!)
- Starting taking Benfotamine. (Helps a ton with fatigue, but I no longer need it as my body heals.)
- Starting taking Alpha Brain. (Helps a ton! Totally recommend.)
- Tyrosine (I only take to supplement my nootropic stack)
- Phosphatidylserine (I split pill in half. Take half morning, half night).
- L-Phenylalanine
- Saffron (I take 2-4 depending on how much focus I need daily)

I'm also taking Intinuiv (ADHD prescription) open to more nootropics for my stack. :D

Are you still taking these supplements?

OP

Hey there! Yes. I'll answer 1 at a time:

• Keto - Yes, Keto almost 4 years now. My brain is still repairing itself. Going great!

• Alpha Brain - No. I don't take it at the moment. Occasionally take my Intuniv, but not regularly now.

BRAIN PILL *
I mix my own pill to take daily by adding these things. I bought shells on eBay to make these myself. I did it to save money, but it's also worked well for not overstimulating me on too much "stuff".

• Benfotamine - Yes, but it's mixed into a daily "brain" pill, so about 1/6 the normal potency.

• Tyrosine (W/Iodine)- Yes, but it's mixed into that daily "brain" pill, so about 1/5 the normal potency.

• Phosphatidylserine - Yes, but it's mixed into that daily "brain" pill, so about 1/5 the normal potency. (I still take 1/2 a pill at night. Night is more important for brain healing.)

• L-Phenylalanine - Yes, but it's mixed into a daily pill, so about 1/6 the normal potency.

• NAC - It wasn't in the previous list, but I put some in my Brain Pill. About 1/8 the pill is NAC.

• Saffron - Yes! I now take one a day, and skip work days. On days I need to focus, I take 2. My focus is WAY UP, and functionality is good.

• The things I've seen most improvement with are Phosphatidylserine, SLEEP and SAFFRON. Everything else just seems to supplement those. Motivation is way up! Positive attitude is way up! I seem to have balanced myself with this setup.

• Note I add Lion's Mane to my Brain Pill, but it's only twice a week and not very much. It's very powerful and will keep you from sleeping if you have high doses. I'm sensitive to it.

I also take Fish Oil (3 morning, 2 night), DIM and Green Superfood Pill: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/264VP5AF3SSZQ/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_5
