Hi all,
This is my first post here and I desperately need a good advice since Dr didn't have any sound advice regarding combining supplements with Wellbutrin.
So I started stack of supplements listed below about 5 months ago since I noticed a lot of (negative) changes in my cognition and mood over the past year to the point that I felt that my life is completely dysfunctional. I am 35 years old. I wanted to try with supplements first before starting real meds for the first time in my life. Dr suggested to start with Lexapro, but after a little bit of research I've found that Wellbutrin XL may be a better choice and Dr agreed.
Supplements did help, but not to the point that I can honestly say that I'm okay again, so I'm finally going to start meds and see how it goes. :(
My supplement stack for the last 5 months is
Morning 9am
Curcumin Longvida 400mg
Huperzine A 100mg
Vinpocetine 10ug
Pycnogenol 100mg
L-Arginine 3g
Alpha GPC 300mg
Gingo 120mg
5-HTP 100mg
DHA & EPA 1g
Vit C 500mg
Vit D3 5000IU
B12 Methylcobalamin 1000ug
Theanine 200mg (with 2 shot espresso around 10am)
Afternoon 5pm
Huperzine A 100mg
Vinpocetine 10ug
Alpha GPC 300mg
Gingo 120mg
5-HTP 100mg
Vit C 500mg
Evening before sleep
5-HTP 100mg
Pycnogenol 100mg
L-Arginine 3g
B6 100mg
Zinc 50mg
Mg Citrate 400-500mg
With all this I got a tangible improvement in my mood, memory, brain fog, sleep and depression with literally no side effects except really bad nightmares for the first week.
Moving forward and introducing Wellbutrin XL I'm thinking to ditch Huperzine A, Vinpocetine, Gingo and to decrease the dose of Alpha GPC, so my new supplement & med stack would be:
Morning 9am
Wellbutrin XL 150mg
Curcumin Longvida 400mg
Pycnogenol 100mg
L-Arginine 3g
5-HTP 100mg
DHA & EPA 1g
Vit C 500mg
Vit D3 5000IU (every other day)
B12 Methylcobalamin 1000ug (every other day)
Theanine 200mg (with 2 shot espresso a bit later like 10am)
Afternoon 5pm
Alpha GPC 300mg
5-HTP 100mg
Vit C 500mg
Evening before sleep
5-HTP 100mg
Pycnogenol 100mg
L-Arginine 3g
B6 50mg
Zinc 50mg
Mg Citrate 400-500mg
