Is there any situations where you find yourself talking more? No, always the same except it just happens few times out of the blue where i become talkative.
Do you talk more in big groups or smaller groups? It's the same in both big and small groups.
Do you do other things like meditate and exercise? Yes, i do both sometimes.
Are you sure it's not the people around you who are dragging you down, rather then the problem being on you. Actually the problem is me, my head feels like it's empty or locked.
If you ever had the feeling where you have nothing to say in a social situation, that's how i feel most of the time.
I have Piracetam and Sulbitiamine, just got them the other day and haven't tried them yet.
I have talked to my doctor and a psychiatrist about Modafinil and they refused to prescribe it.
Hmm this could just be introversion, but that fact that you mentioned that your head constantly feels empty or locked is not good either way. Would you describe it as though your brain is foggy? Like its hard to process things or "hold" things/thoughts in line before they just slip away? Does your speech resemble poverty of speech(alogia) where you literally say the absolute minimum? It would be good if you could provide some clarification.
I have to ask though, do you think you could be suffering from depression? I felt exactly like you did when I was going through some pretty bad depression, had nothing to say, felt apathetic in social situations. I find that sometimes depression can manifest in subtle ways such as an overall feeling of misery combined with your symptoms and social and emotional apathy.
But if your issues are purely cognitive and you find that you're completely satisfied/happy and not depressed at all, I believe we should look towards dopaminergic enhancing supplements.
Again it would be great if you could provide additional symptoms and go more in depth but for now I'm going of your experience with Ritalin(Ritalin is a potent Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor). So if you want you can try out some L-tyrosine, possibly with or without Coffee/caffeine. Also try out your Sulbutiamine as well, again in combination with the other stuff if you like. Additionally make sure to get plenty of zinc and magnesium because they both act as NMDA antagonists(Could help boost dopamine in the long term) and zinc even possesses some activity as a dopamine Reuptake inhibitor(or Reuptake enhancer, depending on the neuron's state). If none of these work you could add in some Mucuna Pruriens, it contains L-dopa which is a potent dopamine precursor and it really goes great with coffee . Take a look at uridine also because it can regulate dopamine levels and maybe some Cordyceps as they aid in Dopamine synthesis from L-tyrosine.
Try these out and get back with some updates.
