What people actually say

“Many people report that quitting coffee improved or even cured their IBS, including me. I quit coffee about three years ago and I feel better without the caffeine rush.”

“So i quit coffee. First two days sucked. But now, everything is lighter, temporary and I am finding giggles in everyday items.”

“I have noticed that I respond better to a cup of black coffee as opposed to a 200 mg tablet of caffeine.”

“I was very anxious and listless for a while and the substances that helped me the most were Pramiracetam + alpha GPC.”

“have been using pram for a few days and wondering if I should switch to noopept. In terms of effect, felt a wee bit more motivated, def had headaches for a short while.”

“By far the most potent nootropic I have tried. The biggest aspect that I have noticed is sense of well being and reduced anxiety. And one of the weirdest effects is I do not crave stimulants anymore.”

“Pramiracetam has always reliably worked for me. I find my recall is improved...but it made me too focused and had a blunting effect on my emotions.”

“A supplement I have never seen on here that works great for me is Phosphatidylserine. Somehow awesome.”

“I have been taking this...and I have had great results...From my research, I found phosphatidylserine to be of little to no benefit on cognitive function.”

“Phosphatidylserine (8/10): ... it made a pretty big impact as far as stress reduction for me. I felt less physical anxiety in social situations...”

“within 10-15 minutes if I'm feeling more down to Earth and relaxed...Over the last three weeks, I have seldom had these nervous thought loops.”

“I have an autoimmune condition that causes chronic pain and while it doesn’t eliminate the pain, I noticed an overall reduction in the intensity day to day.”

“I’ve tried physical therapy, swimming, exercises, omega-3, turmeric, and other anti-inflammatory stuff—nothing seems to help.”

“Whenever I add raw Turmeric & Ginger to my stack, I feel any existing brain fog disappear within 15 minutes... That's very unlikely that chewing on turmeric would affect you so strongly and so quickly.”

“Turmeric and Magnesium make me feel like absolute shit if I take them before sunset.”

“I've lost 35lbs since then and now I'm in the Healthy range on BMI. My IBSD has virtually disappeared.”

“I tried ozempic at first. Made me really sick so I stopped.”

“I recently cycled off Ozempic after 6 months. It did not agree with me...profund depression...profound depression(something I dont normally have an issue with).”

“I’ve noticed since getting on the wegovy I have felt like I’ve been in a strange depression. I’m not explicitly suicidal but I feel nothing - no happiness, no love, no hope.”

“It has really improved the quality of my life, more than anything else I have taken.”

“it made my head foggy and made me more anxious. Noticed no improvement in mood.”

“I take 15mg 3x daily, and it keeps me out of depression and in a good mood. It also helps me focus in class more.”

“I was able to successfully quit using low doses of tianeptine. But be careful as that can be an even worse addiction.”

“Cistanche extract increases my drive, energy and vigor. It makes me want to attack life. I get better sleep...My work ethic has improved. My memory. my attitude towards life. Every facet of my life has been altered in a positive meaningful way.”

“Fucking hated it. After just a week on it my libido went non existent. It left me feeling numb, unmotivated and lazy.”

“Increases energy, boosts my mood, makes me feel more chilled, better libido, I feel more confident.”

“cistanche is the only thing I had to stop taking because it worked too well...cistanche is the only thing that made me horny all the time.”

“I also take alcar, alpha lipoic acid, choline, and pqq, but... there is some difference with these, but not as major as with CoQ10.”

“ALCAR+alpha lipoic acid works as well as Adderall. Actually, it's a bit better for me—it wears off more slowly and doesn't interfere with sleep the way Adderall does.”

“ALA fixed the issue almost instantly, so I usually don't take ALCAR without the ALA.”

“R-ALA - has shrunk keloids that I was told would never go away and helped with general over all MS body pain”

“Mushrooms make me a better husband and a better human all around. Sometimes I don’t feel the urge to have sex while I’m on a dose, but I feel much more connected afterward. Low dose is definitely an aphrodisiac in my experience.”

“doing shrooms helped a lot. I felt really peaceful...This slowly went away, and was gone the next day.”

“I also micro dose psilocybin on and off and macro dose once in awhile. This definitely helps with my overall well-being and mood.”

“The psilocybin just made my mind quieter and allowed me to focus on one thing at a time. Its also helped me just stay in a positive mood which helped my anxiety.”

“St. John's Wort, Passion Flower, Hops, and Skullcap. My sleep improved with those.”

“even the nootropics that some communities swear by did nothing for me (some that come to mind - racetams, tyrosine/NALT, NAC, methylated B vitamins...”

“I dabbled with 5-HTP ... and St. John's Wort ... and found them to have some nice anti-anxiety / sedating effects.”

“I am taking Saint John's Wort and Bacopa now to modulate my serotonin system, as well as trimethylglycine to help boost catecholamine production. That is helping a lot.”

“The lithium is absolutely curbing my mania... My social anxiety is 100% gone when I take lithium orotate.”
