I'm looking to begin a relatively minimal and cost effective program. I have anxiety, (which has really stunted my cognitive functioning) and fatigue issues and a mild case of OCD (obsessivess not complusiveness). For those reasons I'm currently on MAO inhibitors and have also just been prescribed Xanax for anxiety. Basically I'm looking to improve memory, cognitive function, ability to sit still and focus and to induce an element of calmness and relaxation.
I'm not pleased about being on any of these meds. I'm hoping to use a mix of nootropics which I will have little to worry about as far as safety or conflict when mixed together or taken at the same time. I'm about to begin an MBA program at a top school and want to be able to sit still, focus and get through the insane amount of reading material quickly without forgeting what it was I just red 5 five minutes prior.
I will have little time to start preparing a million capsils or take different supplements at six different times throughout the day so I was hoping to get a recommendation for a regiment where I might mix the right proportions of the various products in a container once every week or two and just take a teaspoon or two in the morning and then at lunch. Sounds lazy and lacking in accuracy but I don't see why it shouldn't be possible if I measure out proportions before I mix everything.
Most of what I know is basically from reading www.mind-boosters.com and so this was the regiment I had in mind prior to finding this site:
Omega 3
Ginkgo biloba
N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine
CDP Choline
Huperzine A
Vinpocetine
L-Theanine and/or Kava (for relaxation)
Bacopa
DMAE
ALA
(Siberian Ginseng) and/or (Rhodiola)
(Ashwaganda)
Then I saw the Nootropi's/Adam's recommendations (Nootropi's Suggestions) which are completely different. I am unfamiliar with most of those products but will gladly take them if it is what will best help me achieve my above mentioned goals and provided they're safe. Also I live in Canada so $300US is a bit pricy for me (as it is almost $450 Cdn).
What do you recommend given my specific situation. What do you think of the regiment I posted? Should I go with Nootropi's suggested regiment? Do I mix the two? Which supplements are most important if I was to keep within my budget?
Also what do you think of this product: http://store.yahoo.c...ainwavplus.html (I suppose it's quite pricy given the amounts)
I REALLY appreciate anyones help on this!!!
Thanks,
