My current stack consists of:
1. PhenylPiracetam 400 mg.
2. Ginkgo Biloba 120 mg.
3. CDP-Choline 500 mg.
4. Cerebrolysine 10 ml IV.
5. NSI-189 60 mg.
 
I also take 3 diffrent antidepressants (Cymbalta 60mg, Bupropion SR 300 mg, Valdoxan 25mg) that kinda helps with my mood, energy levels and depression, I've also switched from Effexor XR 225 mg that I was taking for many years and it just stopped to work, leaving me with my apathetic depression and when I've stopped using it I've also got Panic Disorder, but that seems to be related that I've also Hashimoto's Syndrome and I've started taking 125 mg of Levothyroxine just a while ago. I also suffer from severe anhedonia, but taking NSI-189 for a while seems to help me somehow, but still I have very low motivation and I just avoid pleasurable activies and just keep working. So the main problem with my stack is that I want to change PhenylPiracetam with something else, because I live in Russia and all kind of stimulants  are banned since 2008 (and that was the year when I've stopped using Ritalin LA because of it) , except for antidepresant-like drug strattera that was really helping me for a while, but reallt did nothing for my depression and after 2 months I've started to feel drop-outs in the middle of the day and when I've put on scales what's more important to me, being SEVERLY depressed and continue using Strattera or start using my previous antidepressant  Effexor XR, I've choosed medication for my depression. Before I've started to take Bupropion, I was using a lot of bromantane (200mg) for a couple of months and that really helped me to get through it (I mean my life and HELL A LOT OF PROBLEMS) but now, even if I try to take a dosage as little as 100 mg I have a dysphoria-like state that severly impairs my productivity, and yes, I've lowered my dosage of PhenylPiracetam to 200 mg to avoid any kind of problems that could happen with this combination, but still I suspect PhenylPiracetam to be involved in this state that I've experienced and without it I feel like I can sleep for a whole year.
 
So really need an advice, because I'm seeking for a better replacement for Phenotrophil that could help me with both of my energy levels and would also help me with my ADHD I've started to think of Adrafinil (because modafinil is also banned in Russia, lol) or things like Sunifiram, but in that case I've read a lot that it can give excitoxicity and that is what I really don't want to happen, So I've started to think of Fasoracetam with combination of other diffrent racetams like Oxyracetam, Pramiracetam and etc.
But I really have a fear that it's not gonna help me, so that's why I've started this thread. Also it seems that 60 mg of Cymbalta did nothing for my anxiety, but again I've switched it from Effexor XR just a 6 days ago. And the last thing... Yeah that was the pdocs who made the diagnosys, but because private psychiatry is also forbidden in Russia, they can prescribe only several antidepressants, because they can't just simply afford an expansive antidepressants like Effexor XR or Cymbalta and they still use things like Amitriptyline, Fenazepam and Thorazine. But every kind of medication is available for purchase in every pharmacy because of Russia's corruption, except for opioids, that's why I was able to get every sort of antidepressants and other stuff.
 

 

So again, my current problems are that PhenylPiracetam gives me so little stimulation but at the same time it raises my anxiety, Strattera and Ritalin LA somehow weren't making me anxious, I dunno why. I've also started to think of Memantine, but again, because they use same CYPs just as my antidepressant, I think it can severely raise plasma concentration levels of my antidepressants. Just as it happened when I've tried using 150 mg of Effexor XR in combination with 20 mg of Strattera that provoked severe dissociation and quiet severe panic attack. Yeah, I know that my condition is very complicated, but again, at least I no longer have panic attacks and my mood seems to be kinda stable except for some stress-provoking situation like visit of my father a few days ago, but again that could have happened because Cymbalta didn't start to work. My bf insists that I have to start to take Grandaxin as anxiolytic but I'm not quiet sure, because I really afraid that it's gonna add a hell-a-lot of other side-effects, because I've already have tinnitus as side-effect of Bupropion and nausea as side-effects of Cymbalta, but it seems that tinnitus diminished, but maybe that's because I smoke e-cig to counter anticholinergic effects of Bupropion and that's also why I'm so afraid to use classic anxiolytics like Grandaxin.
 

I also have a problems with tics for as long as I remember myself. And I can scratch away a lot of skin from my fingers even when I have a great polished nails covered with lacquer and I can't simply control myself and I either biting 'em or scratching. Even in public, that makes people think that I either really anxious or some-kind of psycho, but I'm quiet shy, maybe even VERY shy because of my social anxiety. But at least after I've started to take bupropion I can write a really long texts, but that seems sometimes makes a problem. And other usual ADHD problems with writing, like people who suffer Parkinson's disease have.

 

btw, I have 1 gram of Dihexa and 120ml of DMSO as my final resort, but I'm still afraid to use it.

You're taking far TOO MANY medications, dude! You really need to cut some of them, and see what the effects are.

 

You're putting a tremendous strain on your liver and kidneys when you're taking for (5?) different antidepressants at the same time - seriously, you have to stop this.

 

 

I'm currently to tired to give any greater advice, but I recommend that you stop everything but Cymbalta for a while - just to see what the effects are.

 

Also, I'm curious, do you identify with SCT, or do you feel as if you are more ADHD? If you feel more classic ADHD, I would recommend you quit everything and simply add Vyvanse - it's quite the drug for that condition.

 

If you're SCT, then none of it will help with that - I would say only Atomoxetine and Intuniv have shown potential to treat that disease.

It sounds like you need neurofeedback, not drugs! The guy at thebrainstore.eu might be able to help you. He knows a lot about ADD and depression.

Yeah I know that's a hell a lot of drugs...

I keep monitoring my kidneys and liver (ASAT and ALAT levels) so nothing bad wouldn't happen to them,

But I'm desperate after many years suffering with apathy and depression since my gf left me, but even after I've found myself a bf, but after a hell a lot of damage (inc. eating less than 300 ccal per day, because I just couldn't eat more than that) to myself just by not even thinking titrating the dosage of my previous antidepressant. I've read a lot of your posts, so after I've read a numerous articles on SCT, I don't think I have it. Yeah, I have a lot of problems due to hyperfocus sometimes, even on Bupropion SR 300mg, but at least now I can hear and just ignore my bf and return back to playing/surfing/chatting, at least I can do that know, because previous years of my depression, that started in higher-grades, because of enormous load on me that put me on the edge and other problems with time-planing, because I've always forgot to put everything in backpack, doing homework and etc., even caring about myself became a GIANT problem, by that I mean organizing preparations, because usually it took 3+ hours and finally after months of struggling I've just crashed. That happened, just as previously said when every stimulant was forbidden in Russia and ADHD was removed from "Russian version of DSM", just like I previously said all kind of problems that I've had in early years at school returned with two-fold higher rebound symptopms. We have such nice government, aren't we?

Yeah, as I've previously said, Atomoxetine (Strattera) helped me a lot, but did nothing for my depression, it seems that it's already have done too much damage on my brain, maybe that's why NSI-189 helps me step-by-step or it's Cymbalta, I dunno. 

 

It sounds like you need neurofeedback, not drugs! The guy at thebrainstore.eu might be able to help you. He knows a lot about ADD and depression.

 

I don't think I'll be able to find any pdoc here, that has equipment for that. I'm gonna search for the equipment on eBay or some other website that sells it, but I don't think that I'll be able to afford that.

 

And... I want to say the last thing... just as I've read that ADHD sometimes runs in families... My mom recenly was also diagnosed with ADHD-C, so now at least I won't blame my parents because I have ADHD. And she was put on Atomoxetine that tremendously helped her with ADHD, I'm so jealous, that because of my antidepressants, I'm not able to do the same thing...

Hmm, I missed that you were located in Russia.

That's unfortunate, that Putin saw fit to outlaw stimulant treatment. When it comes to classic adhd, they've got an 85% success-rate - that's higher than nearly any other medicine, non-psychiatric included.

 

I say, you still need to quit some of these. I recommend quitting Cymbalta now, since you've got classic adhd - Bupropion + nsi should be enough. Quit Agomelatine too.

 

I seem to have fractured my wrist on the recent ice-sheet covering the land on my end, so I'm having trouble writing, but I'll try and give advice later.

 

Here's a list of what I  think you should quit:

 

1. PhenylPiracetam

 

2. Ginkgo Biloba

 

3. Cerebrolysine

 

4. Cymbalta

 

5. Agomelatine

 

 

Consider upping your Bupropion dose instead, and possibly your CDP-Choline too. Start phasing out your e-cig's though - smoking is for chumps.

 

If you've got problems sleeping after removing these drugs, still, then I would add Intuniv - Guanfacine - alpha-2-agonism is part of the neuronal ensembles which can activate slow-wave-sleep.

And yeah... Today I've bought 99% DMSO and mixed 1000 mg of Dihexa with it...

I know that I'm very risky person, but again... 3 years of lying in the bed before I met my bf changed my personality, my cognition, verbal-fluency and pretty much everything that was making "me" - "me".

And as everyone that has ADHD I can't keep myself waiting for full recovery just on those nootrtopics.

So today I've applied 11mg of Dihexa on my left arm, yeah know I have a kind of rash on it and it whines, but it's just a small side-effect and thanks for Cymbalta's sodium-channel blocking at least it hurts not that much.

 

But what about Bupropion alpha7-nAch antagonism? I don't have any kind of side-effect with memory, as many people have described it, that made quiet anxious about it.

I'm gonna try to quit Agomelatine today and I have left just a 1 ampule of Cerebrolysine, so tomorrow is gonna be my last dosage.

After that I'm gonna see what's gonna change and I'll also start to quit other drugs, yeah I'm really anxious that when I'm gonna quit Cymbalta my GAD, Social Anxiety and MDD is gonna back all-together, even now I don't feel quite well.

All those dark intensive thoughts about how pathetic I am and I just keep looking back and everything what I can imagine is just a big failure, like that I lose my interest in almost everything so quickly. I also started to visit psychotherapist, I hope CBT is gonna help me. And tomorrow I have an appointment with him. Thanks you for giving me an advice, I'll keep reporting back in this thread about what changes inside of me.

Re: Atomoxetine, why is it that it takes many weeks to see effects while the typical stimulants work on day 1?

Thanks!

Well, I think the general idea is that, much like SSRI's, it takes a while for atomoxetine to occupy the net-transporter enough to increase NE to any greater extent - steady-state, as it's called, when the drug is in you constantly and increasing chemicals all the time.

 

However, I think that might be something of a misconception - Atomoxetine isn't as fast-actingly potent as MPH, but a lot of people are reporting effects of the drug on day 1 - just not enough of an effect - you need to get the right dosage after all.

 

I think it's mostly because Atomoxetine often needs titrating, because of the SEVERE side-effects some people get, and more importantly, the fact that ATX was originally created as an antidepressant, and those take a long, long time to work, when they're NSRI's, like Atomoxetine. (and ssri's and snri's too - reason of course being that reuptake-inhibition has nothing to do with it - it's the neurogenesis which does it, and that takes time - when you're treating ADHD you're not trying to do that, hence a faster onset of effect)
 

Really, I actually think you start getting effects pretty quick - so the recommendations aren't quite following reality there.

If you're emotionally unstable, the alpha-7-effect should actually be beneficial - and hey, the CDP-Choline you're taking will be blocking some of that - it will raise your natural Acetylcholine-levels, and hence cancel some of the side-effects.

I thought you knew that? That being the reason why you're using it? Apparently not.

 

Take it easy with the Dihexa, you're already on NSI-189 - you do NOT want to be combining those drugs...! There's no telling what could happen then - please stop the Dihexa.
 

Up Bupropion to 600 mg per day, and up your CDP-choline a bit too - that should be enough to start giving you some therapeutic effect on your ADHD-symptoms.

Ok, thanks. It makes sense. Now, how about sleepiness? My family member who is into her 4th week on it is tired/sleepy even thought she takes it with bupropion. I checked and the ADHD studies that compared it to stimulants admitted sedation vs insomnia in stimulants. Why would that be? You would think that increased NE would not do it. Is serotonin responsible for it? If so, there should be anxiety side effects.

Have you tried it yourself?

BTW, OP, sorry for the hijacking. Why Putin has a problem with ADHD? Fears of amphetamine abuse?

So for now, I've stopped using Cerebrolysin, Ginkgo Biloba and Dihexa for now.

Dihexa helped me a lot, but it made my concentration even worse than it was before, DRAMATICALLY worse than NSI-189 that I think helped me a lot.

I've also considered to lower my PhenylPiracetam dosage, but when I've tried to do that I've felt severe irritation and somnolence, I think that I wouldn't be able to stay awake without it and I won't be able to work and do my housework (Bupropion together w/ PhenylPiracetam helps me a lot with both somnolence and brain fog) I also think that somnolence is caused by Cymbalta, because when I've used Effexor XR with Bupropion together, I've never had such troubles.

I really don't know what I'm supposed to do next, I'm really scared, that if I'm going to stop using Cymbalta without going back to Effexor XR, I'll experience severe panic attacks, just like I had before, but Effexor XR did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to my energy levels, yeah my mood seems to be a lot better, but I still feel a lot of fatigue. Maybe that's because I've quit tobacco and coffee and now I experience severe coffee withdrawal, I really don't know what is the main cause, lol.

 

BTW, OP, sorry for the hijacking. Why Putin has a problem with ADHD? Fears of amphetamine abuse? 

Long ago my Mom had an appointment with some officials from the department of healthcare, so they said, they just can't afford stimulants. So that's why they excluded ADHD from russian version of ICD-10

Could you please list everything you're taking right now? And the dosages.

 

I'm having brain-fog, so I can't quite get a grip of everything you wrote right now.

 

Also, how bad IS your anxiety? And what would you say it comes from? For some ADHD-ers, the anxiety is actually connected to their ADHD-symptoms, and a result of the hardships which the symptoms cause - proper ADHD-medication will then abolish the symptoms.

So after I've stopped using Cerebrolysine all things became worse a day after day. Sometimes I think that maybe I really have Bipolar Disorder, but after I've started to take Duloxetine as my primary antidepressant I have permanent fatigue, but when I've stopped taking it and returned back to Effexor XR 300mg it seems it's getting better, but I don't really know, am I gonna feel any better soon or now, but now I deffinetly know that I have fibryomialgia, because I feel constant pain in my limbs for many years and I only understood that I have it only after I've started to take Duloxetine. But it's really worsened my depression :( and I've started to have massive brain fog almost everyday. I've also changed my dosage of Dihexa to 5mg so I won't have any kind of problem with my short-memory, because it became SO SEVERE when I've used 10 mg everyday so I won't have so severe problems with my attention. And yeah, I think that my anxiety is primary caused by ADHD, because when I take Phenotropil it's almost gone (because Phenotropil also upregulates D2 in striatum according to one article that I've a couple days ago) and btw I also have a pack of Sibutramine that I've found somewhere in my mom's mess (yeah, because of ADHD her desk is always really messy) I'm not gonna use it, but I think that's very interesting med. I'm also started to take 1800 mg of NAC (ACC Long branded) it seems somehow it helps me. And after I was prescribed with Levothyroxine, because after a traumatic event that happened in june and my depression became much worse than it was before (I've also stopped taking Effexor XR a couple of weeks before that event) so I've ended up with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and after this event I've started to have severe flashbacks and I threw everything that has any kind of association with this event. And the most disturbing thing that happened, I'm not able to watch TV anymore, I've started to take very seriously my ADHD symptoms that I couldn't explain all the details of any TV show that I love to watch and I've started to have REALLY ANNOYING OCD'ish intrusive thoughts, like (I HAVE A VERY BAD MEMORY I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER 

THE NAMES OF CHARACTER THAT APPEARS), yeah it's very painful, because all my life I loved to watch movie or some series before sleep, because just like everyone with ADHD trying to fall asleep is really annoying, so now because I'm unable to watch anything and because I can't fall asleep without TV I take agomelatine, my pdoc who is also my psychotherapist said that I have to take agomelatine for at least 3 months from now on. Also after I've stopped taking CDP Choline for a couple of days, I've noticed that my verbal fluency became much worse, I've thought that some other medication helps me with that, but it seems that CDP w/ Phenotropil that's really helping me with this problem.

I've started to think that I have bipolar disorder, because after I've started to take Phenotropyl I'm able to clean my room and cook something for myself and my bf. But I don't meet any criteria for hypomania, except for productivity and I have racing thoughts only when I try to watch at least one episode of any TV show with my bf, just like I've said before. 

 

Yeah, my depression is so severe that I hardly able to take a bath. But that's also because of my all-or-nothing distorted thinking, because as a gurl I have to shave myself, apply a hell a lot of creams and other stuff that makes me really fatigued after doing all this kind of stuff, but I want my bf to always pay attention to my body and I can't simply live without his attention. I think after my mom always called me careless about order it seems that now I have OCD personality disorder and I really like it, so now no one will be able to call me careless, but that also makes a lot of problems with my life, because I put everything in order, I'm able to do so only after I've started to take 300 mg of Bupropion. My apartment was always like a giant scrapyard, I even have a room for garbage, lol. But now when I try to clean it my mom stops me from doing so, because she wants to sort stuff by herself (but, as always, thanks to ADHD, I think that's not gonna happen).

And I also have Pituitary gland tumour, but according to my blood test, it doesn't effect my FSH, MSH, LH and Prolactin levels. And I according to my MRI that I had, when I was 16 yrs old, it seems that I have problems with cerebral blood flow

So that's everything for now...  So let's get back to meds:

 

I take only those meds:

1. Effexor XR 300 mg.

2. Bupropion SR 300 mg.

3. Phenotropil 400 mg (I can't really function without it, I feel EXTREMELY fatigued for many years now and it's the only thing that helps me).

4. Valdoxan 50 mg.

5. Vitamins.

6. NAC 1800 mg.

7. CDP Choline 2000 mg.

8. Dihexa 5 mg.

9. Progynova 2 mg (So I won't get pregnant by my bf)

10. Levothyroxine 125 mg.

 

And... sometimes I take Tofisopam, when I have very stressful situations, like being in a big crowd or meeting with some important ppl and etc.

 

After I've read some medical research materials, I think that after I'm gonna add Donepezil to my stack it's gonna relieve at least some symptoms of my ADHD.

And... I also think that I've started to feel worse after I quit cerebrolysin... I think that either now I'm addicted to it (Yeah, it can be really addicting according to instruction, when taking it with antidepressants) or I really have growth hormone defficiency, because when I was taking it, I think that I felt less fatigued and my muscle cramps similar to fibromyalgia were also gone.
