I have been taking either Adderall or Vyvanse almost daily for several years now, and am hoping to wean myself off and support my mind with other supplements/nootropics. The only problem is, my body has developed such a dependance to the stimulant medications that it is hard for me to even get out of bed without them, and having an intellectual conversation or doing any type of work that involves greater cognitive ability is even more difficult (sad, I know). I've had some luck with phenypiracetam and adrafinil, especially when supplementing them with tyrosine, fish oil, caffeine, sam-e and carnitine.
Once work gets a little less busy (in about a month or so), I think I can get myself off the Vyvanse, at least 4 days a week, provided I have sam-e, tyrosine, theanine, and caffeine available :p. I'll probably take adrafinil and/or phenylracetam at least a couple days a week, though.
Are these the best alternatives to amphetamines? Any tips on how to cycle them? Also, are drugs and supplements such as Modafinil and Tyrosine even better for the body and mind long-term than amphetamines or other stimulants such as Vyvanse? Thanks!
