For some context, I live a unhealthy lifestyle. I eat like crap, am dependent on marijuana/ecigs, suffer from acute memory/cognition/depression problems and am very unfit. Now obviously I know that a healthy diet and lifestyle would beat any sort of stack that I can take, but it’s hard to start any meaningful process when the other parts of your life starts to crashing down. I need a kickstart.
Thankfully I have a lot of self control when it comes to adderall (due to how scary the side effects are) and have found that it’s the only thing that can get me to do anything meaningful and makes the uphill battle a leveled one. I explained to my psychiatrist what I’m going through and even though I don’t have ADHD, I was still able to be prescribed it (5mg IR 2x a day). I explained honestly that my education was suffering massively and that I wasn’t able to get anything done; not to mention that by the end of October of this year, if I can’t pass my licensing exams I lose my job.
Now. I am taking initiatives to improve my health and I’m 3 weeks in from weed cessation and after the month I want to quit e cigs. After ceasing recreational drugs, I then want to slowly improve my eating habits and exercise more often. The person in me just wants to get this all over with and take on all of them at once, but as experience would tell me, it would not work. Changing my lifestyle will definitely be a slow one.
I am in no way knowledgeable when it comes to the pharmaceutical aspect of using supplements/nootropics. I try to do my research as accurately as possible, but god damn is it hard to understand what they’re talking about when I have to search definitions to almost every word they use. I tried asking my psychiatrist about supplements I can/t take with adderall, but with any questions I had, I immediately was shut down and was told not to use anything.
Finally. I tried coming up with a stack to help combat any neurotoxicity/mental side effects that would come when taking adderall, to help quit my dependency on weed/nic and to somewhat improve my acute mental problems. I was thinking of taking….
CoQ10 - For heart/antioxidant support (anecdotal reports also say that it helps with memory and cognition)
L-Tyrosine - For neurotransmitter support
Turmeric (w 100mg of 95% Turmeric extract/ black pepper) - For brain health and mood support
Agmatine Sulfate - For weed cessation (education guess) and to help with my mental problems.
Magnesium - To help with tolerance
Melatonin-
Would you make any changes in the stack? Would there be any bad interactions, when taken alongside adderall? I tried finding information on each supplement to see when would be the best time to take it, but answers are pretty mixed, what would be your opinion? Or just any bits of wisdom you’d want to share with me.
I understand that prolonged usage will cause problems in people, but I did go over this with my psychiatrist and agreed that by October I would be off this drug. I know that self improvement is a long and strenuous task, but I don’t have time for that. I know that once the time is up, I will be taking at least a month break from work and take the time to come up with a game plan for an actual improvement journey (for now, I just need to get this done as quick and as safely as possible).
Was this the right discussion to post this question into? Should I try a different discussion group?
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
