So today my Psychiatrist took me off my beloved Adderall. I was over taking it anyway -- and been taking it way too long.

My doc upped my dosage a few months ago -- and I started eating like a horse.

I gained 10lbs in 3 months -- which is not good for me -- since I'm anal about my body/weight.

I work out regularly and a OMADer -- but the higher dose had me wanting to eat all the time. On top of the eating, I didn't feel like the Adderall with the increase in dosage was really doing anything.

Anyway....I just took Concerta about three hours ago -- and now I"m sleepy AF. I don't know how this is going to work out.

I am about to schedule my Neurofeedback sessions - Im tired of this ish.

Modafinil sis

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried it.

It made feel like I drunk a whole bunch of Caramel Macchiatos-- and made me jittery with no focus.

I have tried all the natural alternatives too - I need to find out what's up with my brain.

ashwagandha = Makes me fall asleep/Use for sleep-aid
l-tyrosine - Kinda works for a min - but just OK.
Phosphatidylserine (PS) = Love it for sleep-aid
l-theanine = sleep-aid
l-phenylalanine = Makes me fall asleep/Use for sleep-aid
GABA = Makes me fall asleep/Use for sleep-aid
DOPA = Makes me fall asleep/Use for sleep-aid
Yerba Mate = Nothing really
CBD Oil/Weed = happy, horny -- then sleepy.

The Modafinil? No. I tried it for a few weeks and threw it out. I don't know about stacking and stuff.

I'm pretty basic when it comes to drugs. Just what my therapist gives me -- and it's always been Addy.

I always open to natural alternatives to try.

I can't see it. :(

Can you post the image?

The book is called The Mind Illuminated: A Complete Meditation Guide Integrating Buddhist Wisdom and Brain Science for Greater Mindfulness

Amazon link -


Our brains can be trained with diligent practice. You do not want to be dependent on pills for mental clarity. Nootropics like modafinil are for optimization and should only be used for people with already stable minds. Also take a break from social media if you are addicted to it. Also get some blood work done to test for heavy metals. Also check your hormone levels and get a heavy metal provoked urine test using DMSA and ALA. Heavy metal toxicity is a major cause for ADHD/ADD.

Thanks! Just got it via Audible.

Will do on testing for hormone imbalance and Heavy Metals. I know way back when I did a Heavy Metal Detox with Cilantro. Maybe i'll try that too.

I really appreciate this. Yeah, I have a lot going on via life - so I need to get this together.

You've got to eat with it, drink lots of water, and avoid caffeine or citrus juices.
