I'm a person who thinks too much and acts too little. I procrastinate a lot.

 

So far I've found that these substances increase action when I take them:

 

- pseudoefedrine

- nicotine

- alcohol, weirdly

 

I'm assuming any other stimulant would do this too? Adderall? Ritalin?

 

What other substances or strategies would you suggest to nudge someone into a motivating "action" state?

Very good question. I had the same problem for many years.

Constant rumination can be a sign of depression.

You could try a good antidepressant such as Zoloft (Sertraline) for a few months. It can reduce rumination.

Or you could try to increase dopamine or epinephrine, with drugs such as:

- bupropion (Zyban)
- yohimbine
- mucuna pruriens
- N-acetyl-L-tyrosine (NALT)
- atomoxetine

All these improve willpower.

Or perhaps you could try to improve your focus, with:

- coluracetam
- methylphenidate (Ritalin)
- modafinil
- DHA

Or maybe you lack physical energy or have high inflammation. For these, I would try:

- MitoQ
- T3
- glutathione sr (in low dose)
- benfotiamine
- SIDA cordifolia (contains ephedrine)

Out off all the above, if I were to pick just a few which had maximum effect on me, I would choose for daily use:

- Sertraline
- coluracetam
- MitoQ
- T3

And for occasional use:

- benfotiamine
- SIDA cordifolia

When trying these kinds of supplements, you have to take great care to use the proper dosage and protocol.

For example: coluracetam works wonders for me, but if I take a dose which is too high, a monster headache rears its ugly head.

Or, if you take too much Sertraline, you can have horrible serotonin related symptoms.

12 days waiting for a reply but I think it was worth it. Nice post, thank you!

 

I'll investigate further.

basic nutrient deficiencies like iron, b12, other thyroid cofactors, and copper can affect motivation profoundly.
