Best vitamin b1 supplements according to redditors

These pills are 500mg each which are more reasonable(2-3 tablets) . 10-15 tablets is too much

https://www.amazon.com/Nutricost-Vitamin-Thiamine-500mg-Capsules/dp/B01J4OUZBG


Thiamin is water soluble and there does not seem to be a toxic level but I don't know how taking them over a lifetime would work.


I'm going to pick up some tomorrow and see if they have any effect on me the few days after then I'll talk to my neurologist at my appointment on Tuesday.

Try taking a caffeine pill like this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IRFX4NY (or just drink coffee, I like this because it's extended release and doesn't have a crash), and pair it with L-theanine https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BD29KHW

L-theanine stops the jitters and other side effects of caffeine and helps you harness the energy and motivation it gives you into concentration and focus.

It's not ADD medication, but it might help you.

Also, make sure you're getting all of your B vitamins. A deficiency severely impacts mental capacity, and many people (especially vegans and vegetarians) find it hard to get enough. It's worth taking a B complex vitamin every day, or better yet, a multivitamin with food.

It’s an amino acid, it helps with relaxation and stress relief. A holistic approach, since my dr didn’t want to prescribe me anxiety meds. These are the ones I bought:

L-Theanine 200mg - 120 Count (V-Capsules) / 120 Servings; Taken to Promote Relaxation and Improve Sleep Quality | Vegan, Non-GMO & Gluten Free https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BD29KHW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pG4SDbSVCWC0E

He needs to have his anxiety and his sleep apnea addressed dually. There are some benzos that are less addictive but honestly restoring your sleep is worth being addicted to ativan, which may be my current situation.

So, load up on the proven non prescription anxiolytic agents which include fish oil(in fatty fish or supplement form), ashwagandha(supplement only), l-theanine(in tea or supplement form) and throw them at him.

Thats what I used to take, it was the first one that made me go, "Oh okay this is actually making me feel better" instead of "Eh its placebo?" I only got noticeable effects when I took a serious amount, like 5 of these horse pills a day. Which is beyond the scope of most studies and why only a few report anti anxiety effects.. I think. https://examine.com/supplements/fish-oil/

Im basically just linking you the supplements I used here not selling anything. Its just the ones I can personally confirm to have worked.

Ashwagandha ksm-66 on amazon anything with decent review count and quality https://examine.com/supplements/ashwagandha/

L-theanine, high reviewed amazon products typically fine something like this

https://examine.com/supplements/theanine/

Vitamin D.. if your boy isnt getting any sunlight like it sounds(working afternoon/nights then sleeping forever) is important. extremely cheap too

Ok so ashawagandha is your heavy hitter here even though by itself it wont really come near xanax levels of "good". However, over time I have found these things to approach benzo levels of anxiety reduction. Like fairly quickly, weeks. And theyre sustainable, no prescription.

Now, you can also buy your own cpap and adjust the settings. Honestly, a lot of us went in for a sleep study and then got thrown to the fucking wolves. They send us off to the durable medical supply depot to get our cpap and set the setting then tell us good luck fella and we dont get our cpap to work for months/years. People here can help you adjust it, its easy.

For you, these things arent bad either.. Fish oil and vitamin d are good for overall health for anyone. Ashwagandha is specifically useful for chronic stress related anxiety. Buy some ear plugs and let him thrash himself out until you get it sorted. Its not mean, its love.

I take L-Theanine daily. And I regularly consume kava. How can I help?

Here's some info.
L-Theanine is great for managing anxiety. I take it every morning with a cup of coffee. Gives me great focus all day. I also take it at night with Ashwagahnda (another herbal supplement). Amazing sleep from this combo. I recommend SunTheanine (high quality and great price).

Kava can be heavy on the liver so depends on how you're wanting to consume it. If you drink it in its traditional form this can be harmful longterm. It feels like Xanax, is toxic to the liver in large quantities, and can give a hangover the next day when drank recreationally. But if in micro doses in pill form you're good to supplement with it at night to aid sleep.

Let me know how else I can help.

This is the stuff i normally use:

https://www.amazon.com/Suntheanine%C2%AE-L-Theanine-Double-Strength-Cold-Pressed-Organic/dp/B00TXY32FY

Yeah, you can buy it as capsules.

​

like this https://www.amazon.com/L-Theanine-200mg-Relaxation-Powerful-V-Capsules/dp/B01BD29KHW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=255DE78CRM7NC&keywords=l-theanine&qid=1564380005&s=gateway&sprefix=l-thea%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

I don't know. I've tried a bunch and I'm really into this one made by a company called Sports Research. It is the Suntheanine formula and the L-theanine is contained inside of soft gels with a coconut oil base.
Sometimes, I will cut 2 soft gels open, squeeze them into my bulletproof coffee and blend them up. Pretty potent taken that way, IMO.

Another option is Allithiamine. I've been using it on and off with good success for energy and motivation. I cycle it to hopefully avoid D receptor downregulation, but have run it for several months and still noticed the effects.

Yes as supplements. I do 200mg of Theanine every night. This is one the one I try: Here

I also take 3mg of Melatonin every night. This is the one I take which also has a little bit of Theanine as well: Here


I wake up feeling refreshed. I love the fact that they are vitamins because when I was taking sleep-aids that had chemicals I slept alright but I would wake up exhausted.

I use this supplement. Sports Research makes high quality stuff and the 'Suntheanine' is extracted from green tea extracted by this method. I like that it's suspended in coconut oil too.

so you can get l-theanine from amazon, thats harmless.
but modafinil is prescription.

Modafinil can be abused and its a perscription drug so best to ask a pharmacy for that.

Just some insight into /r/nootropics; If you want L-Theanine naturally all you need to do is drink tea. You're in the most tea consuming part of the world. Try all the different tea leaves and have some fun with it before artifically trying to fix the "problem".

Most notably there is an excessive coffee/caffeine culture in Turkey. caffeine can cause depression when taken in high amounts (yarali/ezik/emrah edebiyati ffs). Not to mention caffeine is an addictive stimulant which makes you seek it out more too. Potassium usually helps alleviate that. Try eating bananas or coconuts (or coconut water/juice). From personal experience I saw some effects in a week.

Im just a dude on the internet telling you these things but here is one of many papers describing the effects (on korean young adults but should apply on Turks too) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4826990/ but there are tons of other research being done as well.

Yes. Linked below. I usually take three of the L-tyrosine (Morning, noon, night) on empty stomach, and two of the L-theanine with the morning and night dose of L-Tyrosine.

Caffeine pill works good when taking with the L-theanine, but really any source of caffeine will do. Hope it helps.

im comparing vegetarian vs more expensive version

why is the vegetarian one way cheaper. and will that be good enough??

I bought it off [amazon.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TXY32FY/). I didn't see the list of recommended providers until after I had bought it. IIRC there were a few choices.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TXY32FY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks, /u/lilsavito! Happy to be of service:)

I started Adderall for the first time just a few months ago - I was already eating well and the adderall wiped out my appetite but got super-thirsty so juicing is a great solution. You'll feel physically a lot better when you do it. Make sure to mix superfood-veggies/low-sugar fruit and go easy on high-sugar fruit.

Here's the juicer I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZDNKSS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's very easy to use and clean (important!) and my only issue came after I dropped the lid on the floor and there was a minor crack, still works fine. Really juices well for the price.

I'm working on a simpler, at-a-glance version of my on days / off days list - will post it here soon, hope folks continue to find it helpful.

Regarding my routine: in actuality I reliably take the Emergen-C / Fish Oil Pills / Vitamin D / Melatonin pretty well. I do believe they've helped with my energy levels and sleep regulation. I DONT exercise as much as I want to - I am convinced exercise will be super helpful but I also have a bout of depression so am working on it....but I despise exercise in general, so this list helps those who also despise it - the key is to make it as easy to do as possible so you can't talk yourself out of doing it, and to honestly tell yourself "well done!" after trying it, even if you only worked out for a minute the first time, it's a huge help to pat yourself on the back and encourage yourself for any effort you're making.

My productivity has been touch and go - biggest problem for me is making sure I'm not on the computer (reddit, surfing web) when my meds kick in cause they make me hyperfocus and spend HOURS online doing nothing else. The only way it helps me get things done (cleaning, errands, projects, work, etc) is to stand up and tell myself i'm not sitting down again till I start part of my project. I did this last night with deep cleaning my apartment and once I made myself get started, I worked for like 6 hrs no problem.

Other people have mentioned L-theanine - it's supposed to be great with increasing motivation/decreasing depressive symptoms. Here's the kind I got based on a recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TXY32FY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will update to let you know if that helped! You have any tips to offer?

This is one of the best for ash, and best price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T5BLPQI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
regualr ash did not do as much for me as the ksm66 version which also has reserach behind it. I take 1 twice a day, sometimes another late at night.

for theanine, this is most peoples favorite as it is embedded in coconut oil for easy assimilation:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TXY32FY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 take 1 with coffee, and then one as needed whenever i get anxious.

https://www.amazon.com/Suntheanine®-L-Theanine-Double-Strength-Cold-Pressed-Organic/dp/B00TXY32FY/ works great for me.

lol In that case, check out the supplement: L-Theanine. It's made from the componenet in tea responsible for the feeling of well being and calm. It pairs wonderfully with caffeine to ileminate the shivers :) Many in the /r/nootropics sub stack it with high doses of caffeine for calm energy/focus. I thought you ight find it helpful.
