  • Nootropics...

    From Shurato@999:300/2 to All on Tuesday, June 02, 2026 15:41:00
    Thought I'd crosspost...

    I'm testing Nootropics on my mental state. I've got some legal mushroom supplements, with 1g (10g raw 10:1) of 167mg of: Cordyceps, Lion' Mane, Reishi, Maitake, Chaga and Coriolus. It's for a schizophrenic with severe
    ADD. I was suggest to tak 1/4 dosage for 3 days, 1/2 dosage for 3 days, then the full dosage. They come in 8 gummies a daily dosage, so I'm taking 2 a
    day for now. I didn't expect to notice a difference yet, and it may simply
    be a placebo effect, but I noticed increased mental energy. I'm not sure
    about focus yet, but I am more interested in actually doing things more than just doing nothing.

    That's why I wanted to start the Health network. May we can all learn something.

    I had never heard the term 'Nootropics' so I looked it up on Google. Their response:

    Scientific evidence backing the benefits of many over-the-counter nootropic supplements
    in healthy adults is limited. While prescription nootropics effectively improve focus in
    those with diagnosed attention disorders, taking them without a prescription or misusing
    them can lead to cardiovascular issues, sleep disruption, anxiety, and dependency.

    Please give us a follow-up post to see how they are working for you.

    That's why I asked my doctor before taking these. She didn't know and said that there have been no conclusive studies about mushrooms and psychiatric medication/illnesses. I asked AI and it was a bit more helpful. I had a
    list of counter indications as well as suggestions. I'm taking it in the morning so it doesn't interfere with sleep. The reishi helps with anxiety and my heart is healthy. I'm on my last 1/4 dosage and it still is giving me
    more energy, better memory and a little increased focus. My motivation is still really low, though. I don't know what to do about that...
