Hello
So since a long time im dealing with a problem. I seem to be addicted to caffeine - i feel good after waking up and usually until afternoon but always if i havent dosed any caffeine earlier in the day i become very groggy, sleepy and unmotivated at late afternoon/evening.
Problem is caffeine in most forms i tried: anhydrous, from guarana, kola nuts, ilex guayusa, coffee energy drinks etc makes me anxious and sometimes sleepy and i start to notice energy and mood boost around 8-10 pm and that often leaves me awake until 5-6 am and i have to force myself to go to bed because i feel nearly euphoric and energetic.
I have slight histamine intolerance - that may be a part of the problem so im taking quercetin often and always b6+ with mg. ctitrate before bed.
I tried a lot of things that may be a substitute for caffeine but nothing worked good or worked well only short term, including:
-phenylpiracetam - original russian phenotropil - few first time were good later no effect at any dosage + it gave me always terrible comedown
-alcar,- made me terribly tired 3-4 hours after dosing and havent felt any energy boost
-mucuna,-- anxiety and iirritability
-theacrine - it made me only sleepy and unmotivated, at any dosage, even if combined with caffeine
-caffeine + theanine stack - spaced out, terrible, anxious feeling, im too scared to try it again
-caffeine+l-ornithine - l-ornithine completely removed any postivive and negative caffeine effect, it felt like i was eating candy not guarana pills
-caffeine + taurine - maybe less anxiety but still big
-DMBA - dirty stimulation with anxiety
-Semax- no energy boost and anxiety, felt dumb while on it
-hordenine - same as DMBA
-Sulbutiamine - brainfog
-pregnenolone - worked amazing for few weeks(mood, energy) but then caused weight gain and lost procognitive effects
-guarana+vit. C + mg citrate stack - seems to remove anxiety but casued terrible diarrhea
- l-tyrosine - anxiety
-dlpa- no effects at any dosage
-
Do you have any suggestions what can i try instead of caffeine?
Modafinil is illegal where i live and super expensive so dont suggest it, same with adrafinil. And as i wrote im looking only for LEGAL stuff.
