Hi, my name is Madeleine and I'm trying get advice in developing a nootropic stack that can help me with my recovery from previous drug/solvent abuse, and can also assist me in coping with my ADHD, Aspergers and Auditoral Processing Disorder (APD). I know my post may be more suited for the Nootropic Stacks section of this category, however seeming that my issues are mental health related I thought that I might benefit more by posting my issues here. I'm sure there are many people that are active in this forum who are using nootropic to help themselves manage their own disoders, wether they suffering with what I have, or from more common mental illness's such as depression, anxiety and or both. But if not then I will just repost sonewhere else :D

To tell you a little bit more about myself. I'm a 19 year old female currently living in Australia. I have just managed to finish collage (high school for USA) which was a huge challenge for me but thankfully I was able to pass with straight A's at an accredited level (Lowest level classes). My current diet is very good. I am not overweight and I'm starting a gluten free/grain free + lactose free diet and eat up to 2 fruit a day, atleast 10 serves of veggies, plenty of meat(including fish), eggs, beans and legumes, aswell as lots of nuts and seeds including Almonds, walnuts and sun flower seeds. I am planning to start an exercise program consisting of resistance training, Running, Swimming and coordination/balance improvement exercises. I have already kinda started a stack and I will post details about it at the end. I am currently seeing a psychologist who is helping me with coping strategy's but that only goes so far I'm afraid.

My current problems/symptoms that I have been experiencing over the majority of my life include Intense social Anxiety, particularly when speeking in groups of over 3 people, bad short term and long term memory, trouble with conprehension when reading and listening, and major issue with speaking clearly, particularly when it comes to finding the right words to say and forming sentences.

Unfortunately within the last 12 months I was experimenting with elicit drugs+solvents and in doing so was detrimental to my already bad situation. I was hanging out with the wrong group of people who did drugs and I thought that maybe if they didn't turn out that bad after trying drugs then maybe I would be fine aswell. And guess what, I was so wrong.. STUPID ME!! Not only did the drugs exaggerate my already hard to cope with symptoms but they added more. My vision has gone to shit. When my eyes are open or closed I am constently seeing this fuzzy, TV like static throughout my vision, it's considerably worse at night time. The best way I can describe it is as if you were looking through a fly screen or foggy window. You can still see through but the disturbance is still there, very transparent. I'm thinking this might be visual snow or a form of HPPD, however I'm very skeptical. The drugs I took include: marijuana (on and off), acid (4 trips), DXM from cough syrup (Once), nitrous oxide aka nangs (a few times), Ketamine(Once), Speed (Once), MDMA (a few times), HBWR seads and shamefully so, I even sniffed petrol too (once). I have not taken any subsetences of this nature for 3 months.

I know this is all very bad and you probably don't want to help me but I have done so much to get to this point in life and I just cannot let my disorders and possible drug related damage stop me from succeeding. I am hoping to commence a bridging course later on this year to allow me access to university where I am hoping to study nursing or medical science, but at my current mental state I just don't think I can possibly do that.

Again, I am hoping to get advice on making the best lifestyle changes, plus advice on my nootropic stack which I'm hoping will assist my body to heal any potential brain damage from drugs, aswell as aid me in dealing with my mental disorders.

Infact over last month I have actually started a stack and have seen some improvements, such as Better memory in general, less anxious in social situation, as well as having more energy. I'm about 30% better. See current stack below:

- Metagenics 'Brahmi tone' Includes: Camellia Sinensis, dry leaf (Green tea) 10.0g, Bacopa monieri, whole plant dry (Brahmi - BacoMind)1.5g, Ginko biloba leaf dry 1.5g, Withania Somnifera root dry 750mg and Tyrosine 500mg. I take 2 tablets 2 times a day as suggested on the bottle. I haven't noticed much of a difference with this, maybe there are benefits in long term use?

-9g of fish oil, equaling up to 1080mg of DHA

-Vitamin A 5000IU (once per day)

-Vitamin C 500mg (once per day)

-Vitamin E 500IU (once per day)

-CoQ10 200mg (once per day)

-Magnesiun Malate 140mg (Once per day at night)

-Calcium suppliment, Includes: Calcium 1.5g and vitamin D3 500IU (once per day in the morning)

-Metagenics 'Meta B Complex' A high potency B complex with antioxidants, minerals and amino acids

- Bulk nutrients Phosphatidyl Serine 100mg (3 per day)

-Natural Astaxanthin 6mg (once per day)

- Powder City's Uridine Monophosphate bulk powder 150mg (Taken sublingually two times per day)

-Bulk nutrients R Alphs Lipioc acid 200mg (3 times per day)

-Swansons Lions mane 500mg (6 per day)

Thats all I am taking for now but I am considering to also add ALCAH, N acetyl cysteine, SAMe, Alpha GPC and Creatine Monohydrate. I'm not sure on doses yet as I'm am still in the research phase.

Any suggestions about my current stack? Possible interactions or risks?
Is my current plan going in the right direction? I just really need some imput on this as no one I know really seems to care or be bothered to assist me.

Thankyou so much! :)
