Some I’m interested in:
Taurine - Could prolonged use lead to GABA receptor down regulation?
Not sure if I would respond well to NMDA antagonists, however, I suffer from intrusive thoughts and a racing mind, which oftentimes keeps me up at night. Could this be associated with glutamate and NMDA?
Magnesium Taurate
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Glycinate - Wouldn’t the glycine be counterproductive as it agonizes NMDA receptors, whereas magnesium antagonizes? I’ve tried this form of mag. for a little over a week and it made me lethargic and my thinking process seemed to decline.
or any other form of mag?
L-theanine - Experimented with this for a little over a month, I will be posting a log about my experiences soon. In supplemental form 200mg or higher I experienced an exasperation of my anxiety, especially in social situations. This often caused feelings of detachment and derealization.
Drinking Sencha Green Tea, which contains lower amounts of L-theanine helped to calm me down only after prolonged use. However, I am very sensitive to simulates such as caffeine, which oftentimes exasperates my OCD and anxiety. A 2:1 ratio of L-theanine and caffeine minimizes jitters, however, my OCD still flares up. Hence, I’m reluctant to drink Sencha in social situations. Only high dosages of Myo-inostiol (12-18g) relieves my OCD, the downside is that it causes brain fog and severe short-term memory loss.
Rhodiola Rosea - Been cycling this on and off. Definetely helps with over-wellbeing and fatigue. However, i’ve noticed increased sweating and inflated 'fight or flight' symptoms in social situations. Could this be because of epinephrine?
Picamilon?
