I've discovered my problem and I am in a BIG rush to fix it. I am fatigued 100% of the time, I do not dream, memorization is nigh impossible, work is way, way harder than it needs to be, I have no motivation, I'm in a depressive fog most of the time, I stumble like a drunk when I'm sober, I have very close to intolerable depression (last summer was almost my end, but I had more than a good enough reason to feel that way), and my overall health (160/99 BP on a somewhat built, sub-200lb, 6'1" male) is suffering because of it. I could go on. All of these symptoms point to hippocampal damage.
I am an active user of nootropics and they help me in a myriad of ways, but I consistently feel as though there's still something missing from my cognition. What is it again? OH! Working memory.
I'm going to start the following:
Rhodiola Rosea
NSI-189 (as soon as I get the money together for synthesis)
Melatonin (To promote REM sleep, of which I presumably get none of.)
On top of what I already have in my stack, which is:
Coluracetam 15-30mg 1-3 times daily <- Fantastic stuff by the way, just wonderful.
Choline Bitartrate 1.6-2 grams twice daily <- I'm sure I have a Choline deficiency, and I use it to offset the (heavy) Noopept use, as well as to treat some liver issues.
Noopept 20-50mg 1-3 times daily <- Keeps me awake and alert, unfortunately adds to my memory issues if not supplemented with the choline salts.
Occasionally Pramiracetam, Piracetam, Oxiracetam come into play here.
What else should I add to increase BDNF in the hippocampus, as well as protect what I have? Is there anything else outside of that you can suggest? I'm desperate, here. I can't keep fucking living like this.
