This is the current regimen I've been taking. I really can't say enough positive things about these supplements. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in September of 2010 that had neurological implications. I had became aphasic, though I could think. My thinking process changed as well, in my opinion for the better; I no longer really have ANY background noise in my head at any time (if that makes sense). After about two months of these symptoms and a few more, I began walking again (lumbar spine implications), my memory improved drastically (severe short term symptoms) and talking drastically better. I had a new perspective on life and became motivated to practice medicine. I enrolled in college that spring, 2010. I'm still attending college, and I've been utilizing those listed supplements during the last year of my college career [May 1st, 2011 to now - 1 year usage]. I've been working full time the last year and a half, and I've managed to complete my associates degree a term early with honors. I'll be attending USF in fall, majoring in Biomedical Science. I can't wait to attempt to use these supplements to my curriculum.
In my past, I've also been quite an addict. Not to any extreme extent, but I'm certainly a self admitted addict. I've only drank, smoked marijuana, snorted a few anti-anxiety pills, and downed a few vicodins. All extremely infrequently except the marijuana, of which I am a daily user. I suffer from quite a bit of pain, and I function a lot better under marijuana's influence as opposed to a few vicodins. Sour Diesel at the moment, 99 percent of the time the strain is amazing. Despite my drug use, my G.P.A. (3.85) and job don't suffer. I've never been arrested. There are no little mes running around. I guess that makes me a functioning addict.
This stack makes marijuana really addictive to me. It makes the high feel so much more euphoric... and with some music and bass, ugh. There's something wrong with how much I actually enjoy it. The high is ridiculously clear headed and a ton more psychedelic as opposed to heavy body load. There is no body load, it's all in your head. Seriously, listening to music. Ugh.
General effects of the stack, in my instance, are greatly increased energy, no mental fatigue (even after 9 hour textbook reading sessions), pleasant mood, increased motivation, greater abstract thinking, feeling of mental acuity, increased confidence, less need for sleep (this was never my strong point, but it doesn't suck nearly as much when I get 4-5 hours now), and quicker mental access (remembering items). I feel that the most profound supplement I take is noopept, and it's also great for marijuana as well (makes my highs a bit more intense, ups apathy a bit, calms me down, overall boost, especially with music). It's much easier for me to function under the influence when supplementing with noopept, not to mention the other supplements don't do a bad job as well. No change in effects associated with alcohol.
If you only had to put up 50-75 dollars a month to feel mentally sharper, function a bit quicker, feel a bit better, and eliminate unnecessary anxiety, wouldn't you? I'll continue to utilize these until I reach my goal, and I hope that I get the opportunity to do some great research with these compounds. I hope this aids someone in their decision to give nootropics a try. I'd have to say that my life has become drastically easier due to my present day mental capacities, something I result directly to nootropics, as it certain didn't exist before hand.
Check out how cool astaxanthin is too, if you've never heard of it
