r/Nootropics

Are there any combinations or something to increase motivation?

Been on NAD+ injections for about 10 weeks and feeling good overall but I'm also taking a few other things so it's hard to isolate what's contributing what.

Currently also doing magnesium glycinate, creatine, and occasional lion's mane. Curious what other people are stacking with NAD+ and whether anyone has tried isolating it first to understand what it's actually contributing on its own.

Hey I would like to know what nootropics can help me live a normal life. I am going to make it a little bit longer for the geeky people to sugest something accuratlx and than I will write a TLDR

I am 18yo male, life with my great grandma beacouse of really hard family problems, I study grammar school and have kinda normal social life, or used to, last months it is getting hard.

I have diagnosed:

ADHD inattentive type - I was prescribed 1-4 10mg ritalin ir for 8 months, got off them last week and I am starting stratterra next week

Minor anxiety disorder - firstly nothing prescribed, week ago lexaurin 1,5mg

Insomnia - 4 years ago only melatonin, 2 years ago 30mg chlorprothixen, last week 50mg sertralin and 1,5mg lexaurin

dyslexia

I think I have (will get checked but psychiatrist appointment is in 7 months)

PTSD or general trauma - Many events in my youth were extremly traumatic (wittnessing murder of own mother, raped every month for a year and half, domestic violence) and I didnt cry in any of theese events, I didnt feel anything for years beacouse I was trying to supress it and now it is all getting out

severe SAD or minor bipolar disorder - For the last 4 years I get extreme depression every winter, every year ir is worse and it is terryfiing, but every spring I become hypo manic or fully manic (same as depression every year worse)

severe insomnia - as diagnosed

ADHD - as diagnosed

Severe anxiety disorder - In the last 5 months I started having panic attacks and extreme anxiety, I am scared of talking to people

General fear - ?I dont know how to call it but I am still sometimes scared to go to the basement or just walking through house even if someone is home, it used to be extreme (I couldnt be in a room alone) but it still creeps out sometimes

substance abuse problems - we will get to it

And maybe I am a bit autistic but I think that is just part of the adhd

My life has been a mess, I started drinking at 14 but it was just normal with friends, at 16 tried hhc and that fucked it all up, my family has history of heavy substance abuse and schyzofrenia, then I started doing kratom, got addicted to nikotine, hhc, thc-p then normal weed and then kratom. Started getting anxiety from the weed after half a year of smoking so I stoped smoking daily and now I smoke like once every 2 months, did the kratom for year and half and I was ending at 40g per day, still clean from it. But through the time I did some lsd, mdma, benzos, tramadol and many more but wasnt a big deal. Then I got prescribed ritalin. used it normally for 2 months but then I started snorting it occasionally. Boom last 2 months of my script were both gone in 5 days all intranasally. Slept for few hours if even that in theese times and started doing more benzos and alcohol to calm myself down on the comedown. Then my doctor got me of of them beacouse he thought that it may cause the insomnia and is putting me on stratterra. Also I stoped smoking 2 months ago.

My brain feels like a dopamine junkie, from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep I just crave substances and dopaminergic activites, I am lazy af, anxious and cant sleep but still feel tired. Please everythink can help.

I take multivitamine, omega 3,6,9, vitamine k1, k2, D3, probiotics, creatine, sertralin 50mg, lexaurin 1,5mg and will be taking stratterra, kinda addicted to coffee

I tried bromantane (terrible, didnt sleep at all) and noopept (no effect)

TLDR: Anxiety, Insomnia, trauma, ADHD, polysubstance abuse. Dont know what to do. Seeking some stacks with sertraline and strraterra.

Has anyone here had experience with Mirogabalin Besylate? I heard that it is an approved medication in Japan but looking for experience reports I can only find a few from years ago.

I’ve taken Pregabalin countless times and I love it, apparently Mirogabalin is like Pregabalin but with less euphoria and it lasts way longer.

I’m considering buying it from umbrella but i’m weary on if I should take it or not because I take suboxone twice daily and i’m not sure if it will be dangerous to combine the 2.

I’ve never had issues combining it with Pregabalin so who knows. Any comments are appreciated.

I built DataBlood, a web app where you upload a raw DNA file from 23andMe/Ancestry and get personalized supplement recommendations with plain-English explanations.

Built it because most raw DNA data is hard to interpret unless you’re deep into genomics forums or research papers.

Would love feedback on:

• usefulness
• trust/privacy concerns
• UX
• whether the recommendations feel clear and actionable
