I am tired a lot, and it seems like the only time I can muster energy is when I'm involved in something physically exertive or after a QUAD shot of espresso (since I stopped messing with ephedrine and yohimbine a long time ago). Problem is, I have some writing projects I feel would be financially beneficial to me if I could stay focused on them for long enough periods.
I've tried upping my iron, B vitamins and potassium intakes as well as varying dosages of Piracetam. I didn't notice anything. I tried some anti-depressants thinking that might be it, and I ended up MORE TIRED from them. I've read that many of the nootropics can also actually make you MORE TIRED. I don't won't to fry my adrenal glands into an insomnial hell again from caffeine (and ephedrine and yohimbine) overuse. I would like to find something that might work with minimal side effects (and not outright illegal like amphetemines).
Any suggestions for me to consider would be greatly appreciated.
