What people actually say

“I'm on guanfacine after taking stimulants. It's….. better than taking nothing but guanfacine is like a 2 out of 10.”

“Currently i am taking clomipramine and guanfacine which helps for the anxiety and dpdr but makes me sleepy all day.”

“I now only take guanfacine and it calms my brain down enough to be able to focus”

“Tart cherry juice increases melatonin levels and is supposed to improve sleep quality. It worked surprisingly well for me when I tried it.”

“These subjectively improve my sleep but i havent noticed a difference in deep sleep: Reishi, tart cherry, magtein.”

“I loved eating berries especially cherry before bed it gave me a nice sleep.”

“I started trying out tart cherry and I am finding surprisingly very effective for cognition. I take it and almost immediately I notice my mood is a bit brighter, my overall cognition & energy is better.”

“Nope - only Xanax can help me sleep. Which isn’t a good option.”

“The most effective and safe med I'm aware of is Xanax. Long-term, it begins to hurt sleep... Short-term, it's fantastic.”

“require Xanax just to be able to function in life. I have stopped all the prescription meds except for the Xanax, which I only take now as needed about 3x a week instead of 3x day.”

“I've been taking it (0.5 - 1mg) as the last thing I do each night and I've never slept better.”

“My silver bullet for sleep is GHB (2.5ml) + a calcium channel blocker...pregabalin (50-75mg)”

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

“Pregabaline helps but I think my dose is too low I take between 200-300 and I’m waiting for my appointment and see if it will get increased.”

“I've tried seizure meds, which help to an extent, but they have awful side effects... I'd have to live with the edema from the Lyrica. I never went back and stopped taking the Lyrica.”

“regular cardio improves some of my ADHD symptoms to an extent similar to my prescription stimulants, but without the side effects.”

“I also find that keeping exercise up everyday helps, but not tremendously much.”

“Cardio sometimes gives me that rush and pulls my mind to a better place.”

“I'm just do 1hr of f cardio a day to get good sleep.”

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

“Skullcap: Seemed to work for a couple nights and then started to make me feel very strange the next day.”

“So far I've tried skullcap and kava... which help for the anxiety insomnia.”

“If your specific issue is *anxiety*, then I would strong suggest **Skullcap** (American). It works very well and can be taken on as needed basis. I use a tincture of herbal equivalent 800-1000mg.”

“brain fog has been lifted completely and I haven't felt this good in a really long time. Sauna. I stayed around 30 minutes in a Finnish type of sauna (dry) with temperature lingering around 80°C and the effects were there immediately.”

“unfortunately did not see any increase in RBC. I did however see a large increase in WBC”

“I've been doing something active every day and feel my entire working capacity has increased. I feel like an entirely different human.”

“Sauna helps with hangovers too. It has always worked for me. Just do 3-4 sessions of 10-20mins each and make sure you have a gallon of water with you”

“After 15 mins or so, I experienced these effects: Warm body temperature, Heightened self-esteem, Dulling of emotions... Only bad thing is I feel slightly dumber.”

“After taking it I feel slightly better, whether it's placebo or I had zinc deficiency is irrelevant to me.”

“Mine stopped a few days after I added zinc picolate. I take them at different times of the day.”

“Zinc picolinate - I’m zinc deficient and a lot of individuals with adhd have zinc deficiencies ... This helps with attention as well as immunity.”

“Mirtazapine worked great for me, I'd credit it with saving my life.”

“The only drugs that has helped at all so far have been Buspar and Remeron, both of which eventually stopped working for me.”

“The only one that really helped me was mirtazapine but I piled on the weight.”

“A med like Remeron (I had HORRIBLE side effects) uses several of my mutated/broken metabolizers.”

“I take 1/3 of a serving/dose of Om Sleep and 50mg of trazodone and caps of Tart cherry. The traz gets me to sleep, and the Om keeps me asleep.”

“nothing really beats trazodone so far. Even half of one knocks me out.”

“One that I found particularly useful in this regard, that is also known for not causing dependence is trazodone - 50mg is popular off-label to induce sleep.”

“I have taken trazadone, diphenhydramine, ambien, (which holy shit works, but has massive side effects and not a long term solution)”

“The effects have been promising, because I found myself not only better in actual routine work, but also studying and learning, which was really hard to me before. It felt like combining mental clarity with neural plasticity.”
