ADHD is rough man
I struggle every single day to focus. I’m so frustrated at the end of the day sometimes when I haven’t reached my full potential. If you’re a fellow ADHD struggler, I feel for you, and we should connect. It’s lonely sometimes and I’m happy to talk with others.
What I’m currently trying
~400mg caffeine per day
~3mg nicotine per day (via pouches)
Multivitamin – I use the same ones as my kids so probably not optimal levels.
Why these?
Caffeine: Well, I just love caffeine. Who doesn’t right? Most people with ADHD seem to feel like it helps. From a science perspective it should help stimulate the part of the brain that is naturally a bit sleepy in the neuro diverse ADHD’ers
Nicotine: I’ve never been a smoker or tobacco user. I just came across some evidence that it’s a nootropic, prevents degeneration and boosts dopamine. Neuroscientists like Alex Huberman and the famous biohacker Dave Asprey support using it in small quantities. From my own use and study staying under 5mg per day is safe and I have no problem not using it for days at a time
Multivitamin: Just filling in the nutritional gaps.
What I’m going to try:
I’ll be using these in addition to my current stack.
- 1 tsp Nordic Naturals Fish Oil. My research shows that higher EPA than DHA helps with focus.
- 1000mg Tyrosine twice daily (recommended by neuro scientist on TikTok) This is the amino acid that the body uses for dopamine production. One doctor claims that his patients have seen considerable relief using this dosage.
