The personal use anecdotes on this substance are unfortunately scattered all over the place on this forum.
I'm going to try and be as clear and as honest as possible with this diary. No fluff. No text walls. I'll do a summary each week.

My current supplement regimen (all taken at AM):
- AOR ortho-core
- Lion's mane
- 8mg galantamine
- Vit D 1000 iu
- Mag citrate 200mg
- Creatine 2g
I’m starting this 9 days in.
Terminology: Ibid: if not mentioned, assume the previous variable (e.g. “with food”)
Week 1. 40 mg orally. With food. At AM:
The first day I took this I felt a stimulant effect. I’ve taken many stimulants (amps, etc.) and the feeling was similar. It was a focussed well being effect. Engaged.
Anxiety slightly up but sweating from palms (something I do when I’m nervous) up quite a bit.
Overall feeling: More focus. I was reading a text book. I would normally be shifting around and restless. But my focus was better. Obviously can't put it down to the NSI. Still, interesting and I suspect it is the NSI.
Negative: Slight brain fog. Surely it's due to the NSI. I am hoping this goes away.
Week 2. Day 2. 40mg AM / 40mg PM. Ibid:
Today will be my second day doubling the dose. The positive and negative effects (increased focus but also increased brain fog and anxiety) are slightly increased. I’m surprised. The effect has barely increased from doubling the dose.
