Been shifting strategies as regards my neurological travails. Started taking Magnesium and Fish Oil supplements, and today bought some Choline in anticipation of some Piracetam showing up in the mail soon.
All that stuff is recommended in tandem with Adderall, but do a good deal of cognitive benefits on their own. I went back on Adderall a week ago and while the first couple days went very well, things went downhill steadily since, to the point where yesterday it was making me do nothing but be tweaked out, nervous and mentally blank (this has been a pattern, I've determined). I got like an hour of sleep last night and today's day one of another little detox period before meeting with my psychiatrist on Friday.
Natural route > pharmaceuticals.
NO. NO. NO.
Wellbutrin sucks and it's not the answer. Neither is Magnesium, although it will make you shit your brains out. And Pirecetam doesn't do much either, I have some of my own. I'm going to insist on a personal re-evaluation and a changed world view, a few revelations, and a spiritual awakening.
No amount of pharmaceuticals will fix what is broken without making you dependent or damaging you more in the long-term. And no psychiatrist can prescribe a magic pill.
I feel like you cannot correctly underestimate something.
While pharmaceuticals are certainly over-prescribed, it's no lie that they can assist people in coping with daily activities.
However, pharmaceutics is a massive industry, and the drugs that find their way to you inevitably do because the pharmaceutical companies have deals with certain insurance providers to hype their products. You're not being given choices based on drugs aimed at symptoms; you're being given choices based on which pharmaceutical companies have invested the most money in promoting their products.

I've been working with my psychiatrist far too long to think she's feeding me whatever the state or system or whatever shadow conspiracy is paying her to poison me with.
