Suffered from anxiety, depression and once tried to commit suicide.

Started taking Ashwagandha and it helped me out immensely.

If you have severe anxiety and are looking for something that can help i seriously recommend you try it.

Mostly bullshit. "Stack" is the most cancerous buzzword I've ever seen in the general community.

There's definitely some truth to the benefits of some supplements but for the most part it's just garbage. Try to stay away from anything that sounds too good to be true, because it usually is.

I currently take flax seeds every day and I always eat around 4 ounces of baker's chocolate a day, in addition to several cups of tea. I avoid all HFCS and MSG, and keep my diet at higher priority than taking supplements. As should you.

Your supplements won't do shit if you have a shit diet.

>Piracetam

Read anything about it; racetams need choline in an amount relative to the amount of racetam you're taking, or they don't do anything. I forgot what the relationship is, maybe it changes per racetam, but it needs choline of some kind, trust me on that one.

Oh yeah, I forgot to respond. They do make a difference, but much less to a healthy/young brain. I can imagine them showing more of the effects that research has proven them to have, if you're older, or have some kind of brain damage.

Or if you've got fetal alcohol syndrome.. maybe we should call it "the british medicine" :p (yes, I know it's aniracetam and not piracetam)

Sounds to me like someone created a niche market to profit off people like you.

If it does work, power to you. On the flip side, the entire "nootropics" market can show /biz/ how quickly profitable markets can be created. I remember first hearing about this shit like three years ago.

Especially Armodafinil is a blessing. SSRI's aren't really optional for me but it negotiates nearly all negative side-effects. It allows me to wake early, and get awake early. Also at 22h when it is at a low point, i just go to bed and get an easy 7 hours of sleep.

A little bit blank. There's no buzz to it, but you're super awake. I wouldn't want to take it every day.

It's great for if you spent all night on speed doing some programming but need to be fully awake for something important during the day. It's not quite like having a full night's sleep but it's not like you took caffeine or more speed to stay awake.

I like caffeine better as a daily stimulant, just because coffee is nice.

>>644011
That's extremely rare.

>I currently take flax seeds every day and I always eat around 4 ounces of baker's chocolate a day,
me too man
cept I stir the chocolate into cottage cheese with a bit of liquor for the right consistency
I roast the flax seeds on a pan with a cover so they pop and are good and crunchy
mix that shit good
I also roast raw pumpkin seeds the same way and add that because flax is apparently high in estrogen and pumpkin seeds have man vitamins

Piracetam literally saved me from going crazy.

Tore my soleus in my calf, had some horrible neurological symptoms for a year. Numbness, tingling, etc.

Nothing worked with relieving the stress it was causing me. I had lost all hope.

Started taking Piracetam because I heard it works wonders not only mentally but neurologically, and soon enough the stress was gone and so were the neurological symptoms. Felt like i could accomplish anything.
