Supplements to help post Amphetamine addiction

[Static_Color]

It's been about 6-7 months since I last used stimulants following about 2 years of use

I'm wondering what some specific vitamins and supplements would be good to use?

I remember many nights of mixing my speed with MDMA, Mushrooms, K... almost everything out there, one night I dropped 10 speed with 3g of Mush...

I went through about 4 psychosis's, 2 in the mental ward for a couple days


I'm glad I stopped but I want my brain to recover from damage...
I've been taking 800mg piracetam daily to help me a bit, I've heard over time it has helped recover some damaged brain-cells but I want to hear others opinions on this

I'm also taking a generic-multi vitamin

I also suffer from bad insomnia (Which was worsened after much amphetamine use) And i'm wondering if melatonin supplements would help regulate my sleep cycle a bit? I've heard good reviews on it..
Even though I function fine on 3-5 hours of sleep a night it doesn't sound healthy to me


Cheers.

Do you have any other issues besides insomnia?

well first off congrats on breaking your addiction

i think just a good diet and excersize will help your body out alot. you dont need supplements.

i think you should just stick with the multivitamin,
maybe invest in some fish oils for yer brainz,
and IMO magnesium works wonders for insomnia. i usually take 400mg before bed and it helps me get right to sleep.

oh and if you decide to buy some magnesium, make sure you know what kind your getting. most brands use magnesium oxide, which has horrible bioavailibility. i use magnesium citrate, its only a few bucks more.

Pass on Magnesium Oxide
Check out the label of your multiple or magnesium supplement. If it says "magnesium oxide," you are using a form that is unchelated and not readily available to the body.
Magnesium Citrate
Health food companies are offering more chelated supplements as awareness of how minerals are processed by the body increases. One of the easiest forms to assimilate is magnesium citrate, which is magnesium attached to molecules of citric acid from citrus fruits.
Other Effective Choices
Additional chelated forms include magnesium gluconate, magnesium aspartate, magnesium glycinate and magnesium malate. Magnesium chloride, which is sprayed on the skin, doesn't require chelation for optimal absorption.

Be careful when you start taking mag supplements. At 250mg my bowel movements were crazy watery. ( I was using when taking 10-30mg/day Adderall ). At 500mg my stomach would rumble and I would end up running for the bathroom to release my guts.
I switched to chelated magnesium by Country Life ( main ingedients in order on the bottle read: Magnesium as magnesium oxide, citrate, asparate )

If you're looking to promote good nervous system through a supplement I would use Cal/Mag. Its calcium/magnesium at a 2:1 ratio. Its like $14 for 20 servings. You heat water, put in a drop of lemon and then drink it. Its too much money for me and I think that I got beat for $9 when I bought chelated magnesium ( main ingrediant being oxide )

I sourced this from bluelight google engine:

heres the quote from the link:

most multivitamins have very little, if any at all, magnesium.
check this out guys... You're throwing your money away on pills FYI. The cheapest source of pure magnesium is in laxative saline. citrate is the most bioavailable, besides maybe glycinate
You can take a quarter dose of this (http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/wa...laxative-oral-solution/ID=prod5604183-product) and it will absorb much, much better than any pills will.
That means for 1.5 TSP's you get 40x 450 mg doses of magnesium citrate for $2. unbeatable price. best bioavailability.

what do you think about that?
