What people actually say

“when i take benzos, suddenly all my brain issues/brain fog/memory problems/focus problems seem resolved. i can calmly focus on things, i recall things more easily, everything seems just right.”

“Nothing really ever helped besides the benzodiazepines, but I’m well aware of how they will turn on you within months.”

“Helps with anxiety but makes me depressive as hell, I will probably end up crying if I take one.”

“Benzos are great for the 'I literally have zero anxiety about anything' feeling, but they make me sleepy.”

“This cured my GERD, reflux, digestive issues, sugar addiction, and helped with many other aspects of my life.”

“sometimes carnivore when I get acne breakouts. But some plants seem to make me feel better than carnivore”

“I've always had a pretty terrible memory, what fixed that was a cleaner diet, it improved even more once I went carnivore, as did general mood and outlook.”

“When I went carnivore and took away sugars and carbs and all other junk, I noticed a big difference in inflammation.”

“I have been taking 1mg of p21 for about two weeks, and my concentration has improved markedly but my memory has improved even more so.”

“P21 was a strange combination of unpleasant stimulation and lethargy, which had a pretty negative impact on my sleep.”

“It had more of an activating feel in my experience. Somewhat anxiogenic at times even.”

“I can personally attest to a lessened overall anxiety level due to both P21 and Semax in combination”

“Mild as it sounds chamomile tea works wonders for me, even when dealing with withdrawals that worsens my insomnia.”

“I've tried reducing my screen time early, drinking chamomile tea, and taking magnesium before bed. None of it has helped.”

“I find chamomile helps me a lot before bed. Also helps with my GERD a bit.”

“Things I've tried that didn't work: valerian root, magnesium glycinate, theanine, chamomile tea, cannabis indica (no effect, either negative or positive, on sleep)”

“Clonidine really helped me when I was getting off benzos. I still use it now as a replacement for when I get anxiety.”

“it made me feel dizzy, sleepy, cognitively much worse during the day...felt like the two medications were fighting for supremacy.”

“For acute anxiety or panic attacks I take Clonidine at 100mcg. It also makes an excellent sleeping pill.”

“I get some sleep now with .1mg clonidine and 25 mg atarax combined but it's often short and really broken up.”

“For me it was therapy that helped. I had some kind of guilt issue from trauma I didn’t even remember until therapy.”

“Started doing some therapy and an SSRI, and saw huge improvement in all my symptoms.”

“NAC and other supplements, alongside weekly therapy and a wholesale-healthy lifestyle, have helped nurse me back to health.”

“I tried everything in the natural toolkit: L theanine, magnesium, NAC, ashwagandha, CBD, therapy, meditation you name it... But nothing really touched the core issue.”

“my doctor put me on low dose lithium a couple months ago... it has changed my life.”

“I'm dumber than ever on lithium... Lithium is either interphering with my Adderall or the cognitive dampening is cancelling out the focus and alertness benefits.”

“I personally used 2 - 5mg elemental lithium about twice a week ... improvement in cognitive and mood stabilization.”

“When I take 5mg of lithium orotate it gives me a feeling of apathy, but reduces my ability to experience pleasure (what is called anhedonia).”

“I find my focus is the best on a low carb diet.”

“When I ate low carb and ate nuts and things like that my energy for that day was significantly lower”

“my brain works like 40-50% better on low carb, ESPECIALLY when I eat meat. Verbal fluency, word recall, short-term and long-term memory it's all at much better level.”

“Supplements and medication help short-term, but never long-term...eating fewer carbs and meditating at least 20 minutes a day really helps me feel better overall without a crash.”

“Baclofen(10/10): Not really a nootropic, but it felt identical to phenibut. Whats even better, I was able to take it regularly and keep the anxiety-reducing benefits...”

“It works well. Currently taking 20mg/day, but will have to increase because I am not quite satisfied with the results. Having said that, I feel a little dizzy even on 20mg.”

“The #1 tool in my arsenal. It helped me get out of my own thoughts and just live. I simply feel more alive, upbeat, enthusiastic, better mood, more outgoing/charming, more energy.”

“Baclofen. I take 50 mg daily. Works great, almost no tolerance build up.”

“I take 500mg L-Phenylalanine when I first get up in the morning and it appears to work well. I used to be terrible at getting out of bed in the morning, and have seen a great improvement over the last ~3 months.”

“I'm not gonna take phenylalanine ever again. I've noticed so many bad symptoms because of it, i thought i just wasn't dosing it right.”

“Now I take l-phenylalanine twice a day (500mg) for ADHD and feel great.”

“I was using 1500mg L-phenylalanine daily with fantastic results for about two months”
