Hey guys,
I've had a rough couple of weeks and lately I've been feeling IMMENSE brain fog, to the point where I'm forgetting basic vocabulary words while I'm speaking along with some depression.
About 2 months ago, things were perfect in the nootropic/anxiety stack department. Keep in mind I also have depression/OCD or an anxiety disorder, so I'm supplementing those as well. Here was my stack:
Piracetam: 4 g BID; Choline Bitartrate: 2 g BID; 5-HTP: 100 mg BID; Fish Oil: 1 g BID; Guanfacine: 1 mg TID; Intense Weight Training Program: 4 times per week
Last month, I herniated my L4/L5 disc in my back so I've had to completely quit weight training, This has played a huge psychological toll on my anxiety/depression/confidence as it was one of the only things that really helped my OCD.
Anyways, I started looking into alternative supplements for my OCD and started on high dose Inositol and Bacopa Monnieri. In addition, I lowered my dose of Guanfacine to twice per day. Here is my current stack:
Piracetam: 4 g BID; Choline Bitartrate: 2 g BID; 5-HTP: 100 mg BID; Fish Oil: 1 g BID; Guanfacine 1 mg BID; Bacopa Monnieri: 300 mg (45% bacosides) once/day; Inositol: 9 g BID (yes 18 g total)
Like I said, I've been having massive brain fog. I attribute some of this to my lack of working out but not all of it. What could be causing this?
