What people actually say

“Phe supplementation never needs to be done...normal diet to you and me provides not only what the body needs, but an abundance.”

“HIIT workout classes, vitamin D3+K2, and L-phenylalanine did wonders for me. YMMV.”

“I've been taken 2g l-phenylalanine...after upping to 2g, I've been on point! I managed a 11 hour stretch at the library”

“The latter had a subtle affect on my mood but I liked it.”

“I've added: - l-phenylalanine (huge! for me anyway)”

“Cause of Dopamine. And because I ran out of Tyrosine and wanted to give Phenylalanine a try.”

“L-Phenylalanin... severely worsened my symptoms, basically causing a full-blown depression”

“It helped me stay on Lamotrigine, which is the only med that works for my depression.”

“I’ve since trialled Pregabalin and currently been on Lamotrigine for 7 weeks and zero improvement.”

“I've realized I'm losing my short-term memory a lot as a side effect of Lamotrigine, 400 mg.”

“I was on Seroquel briefly, but found lamotrigine to be much more effective with less side effects.”

“Failed Lamictal Trial, I actually tried Lamictal (25mg) for just one day, but it immediately blunted some of the positive stimulant effect, almost got in a car accident, and made me feel so flat that I panicked and stopped.”

“My mood's better than ever and I haven't had any serious depressive episodes in a while.”

“I've been taking lamotrigine for over a year and it has helped even me out. The mood stabilizer has taken out the extreme lows and highs, so I don't have to get hammered to feel better.”

“Lamictal has definitely helped me with my anger issues, but I’m afraid it won’t last forever.”

“The only two that helped were Lamictal and Abilify but they only helped keep me stable mood wise.”

“I have given very few of them fair trials, as I can't deal with the side effects for that long.”

“I've tried lamictal and felt no different...I even tried depakote and I felt stupid.”

“It stabilised me pretty much, less mania, more energy, less brainfog, less anxiety, was able go go out again without panicking”

“I finally got on lamictal which helped me a good amount”

“lamictal is up there with the ones that made me feel really 'off.'...I began to steal and just generally be very reckless...I could not get a rush or any pleasure from normal activities...At the end of the day...if it's not helping, bring it up with your doctor and stop taking it”

“I had some relief with lamotrigine. It hits other receptors, it impacts cognition greatly - word finding problems will definitely occur.”

“got prescribed lamictal. Two months later, I am happier and clearer headed than I’ve been in YEARS.”

“lift weights. Legs, chest, back, arms... It's a nice feeling when I stick some protein in the oven and can just pump out a few sets”

“I work out pretty much 4-5 days a week with heavy weight. 85kg-100kg now and doing it for 2.5 years. Definitely helps mentally but the drop off is insane.”

“I lift weights now in the morning, but it doesn't seem to give me the same cognitive/energy benefits as cardio does”

“Weight lifting along with increase in protein intake without increasing overall calories helped a lot with my anxiety and moods”

“both cardio and weight lifting don't seem to positively affect my sleep”

“I used to take 30mg of Adderall XR a day. Other than that, just make sure to sleep well. Sleep deprivation reduces the effectiveness of stimulants. If you are not going to the gym already, start going as soon as possible and do weightlifting and cardio”

“Heavy lifting has definitely strengthened my mind. Makes you a stronger person, I highly recommend weight lifting.”

“Only thing that ever gave me any libido at all is lifting weights for about 45 minutes, including compound exercises”

“I am a recovering alcoholic and took up the gym to keep myself busy. Everyone comments about how much happier I am now”

“Lifting weights made my sex drive go through the roof.”

“I also like sunifiram + unifiram. Slight stimulant effect, increases focus (without tunnel vision that pramiracetam gives), and provides a nice – albeit minor – mood boost.”

“The most potent Nootropic for this is Sunifiram. In my opinion it is the most potent generally. Unfortunately I get insanely furious when taking it, which got worse over time.”

“Sunifiram seems to do amazing for keeping my brain running well off little-no sleep, but the effects are extremely short-lived.”

“I took 15mg in the morning. Then I had a iced chai drink...I felt like I was highly caffeinated, all day long.”

“Sunifiram works, im just cautious to take too much because of its small dosage and apparently it has bad interactions with a lot of things. I only use occasionally if I dont want to take noopept.”

“Sunifiram has had some really positive and noticeable effects for me most of the time, not without its adverse side effects though.”

“And I take it daily. Its always helped with my cognition and mood.”
