> There are so many directions you could go! Since your symptoms sound similar to mine, I could throw out some ideas. What has been working for me for a while has been phenylalanine in the morning (about 500mg). This perks me up. I also takes lots of herbs. These seem to work better for me than other stuff for some reason Gaia herbs makes a great blend for adrenal health. It has rhodiola, holy basil, ashwaganda, and a few other adaptagenic herbs that seem to also perk me up without making me speedy. I also take N-acetyl cysteine for general support, along with vitamin c, a b-complex and grape seed extract. Together, they keep me balanced and positive. At night, since insomnia has been a problem for me, I've experimented with all sorts of things, but the best and simplest seems to be melatonin. Just a couple of gram sends me off. I used to do magnesium but didn't really feel much. I might try the new l-threonine version. Oh, and sometimes I take ginkgo.
>Do you use DLphenylalanine? Does it have a come down like say ritalin or dex?
I tried nac and that was a no go. I'll have to check out the Gaia product, that would be kinda calming?Thanks!
