Longtime lurker first time poster. Been reading up on nootropics for months now. Decided to order some to try them out. I have social anxiety, depression, and add. 30 year old male. These problems are not chronically bad but getting rid of them would definitely improve my quality of life. Here is what I have tried so far
Phenibut. 1g- felt nothing. 3g- very mild 'drunken' feeling.
Phenyl piracetam. 150mg- felt nothing. 600mg felt nothing.
CILTEP- (natural stacks formula) felt nothing.
L-theanine. 200mg. Felt nothing.
I have some ashwaghanda on the way but as nothing as worked for me I don't have high hopes for that
Should I be trying out higher doses at this point?
Should I be combining anything else to try to get effects?
Am I completely SOL?
It's really frustrating so far as it seems the majority of folks get at least some benefit from the noots they take. I realize that some take time to see results but from what I understand the ones I have tried should have more rapid effects. Any help would be appreciated
Fwiw I take these supplements for general health outside of anything nootropic
Fish oil
Vitamin e
Coral calcium
St. John's wort (no effects after one month so far)
Spirulina
