hey there everyone this is michael duggal i review nootropics and during this video you're
going to learn about some of my favorite nootropic supplements around handling adhd so you can focus
for a long stretches of time and as a result become a lot more productive and you'll especially
find this information relevant if you're coming off of adhd meds because i've been there too
i took ritalin concerta and vyvance for many years thinking that i had adhd perhaps i was
misdiagnosed and fortunately through the use of nootropics as well as adjustments that i made in
my daily routine like exercise and of course being mindful of having a good diet i was able to get
off my adhd meds and i was able to concentrate and get through that withdrawal period because
unfortunately it will happen especially if you're somebody who's used adderall for a number of years
trust that after you discontinue the use of it you will probably feel pretty bad what will happen is
you will want to just be socially isolated you'll feel like you're in a worse mood and it's very
common that you have pessimistic thoughts so the good thing is is now you're aware of that
and you just know that things will get better with time and to keep in mind that the stronger
the stimulant is the worse the withdrawals will be and this can even be said about a very simple
compound like caffeine which a lot of us take if you know if you were to ingest 400 milligrams
of caffeine you can expect that about four hours later you're going to feel somewhat of a crash and
some brain fog so the first question that i want to answer before getting into some of my favorite
nootropics around adhd is do you need to start off with a nootropic stack and the answer is no
one of the biggest differences between taking nootropic supplements versus like adhd meds is
with adhd meds you can most likely predict what they're going to do if you give them to 100 people
they're commonly going to respond the same way whether it's more energy whether it's
faster processing speed when you're reading things but when it comes to the world of nootropics
it is so individualized there are no tropics that work for me they may not work for you and you will
find this again and again and again so because of that rather than going ahead and starting off with
five nootropics go ahead and start off by taking them one at a time you may want to introduce one
nootropic supplement into your daily routine try it for a week try it for two weeks perhaps
if you're not sure if it's worth using and if you don't maybe feel the effects like one of
the major problems if you were to go ahead and create a stack and just start taking that stack
right off the mat then what will happen is if you don't feel good and you're having an
adverse reaction you can't identify what exactly was responsible for that
fortunately i'm pretty sensitive to nootropics so i trusted in like the whole racetam process
i first started taking piracetam i responded okay and then i added aniracetam and some of the
other ones and i felt pretty good about that and then what happens is is when you actually start
taking time off of nootropics that's very often when you notice whether or not they're working
so it'll really be helpful if you have a good objective way of measuring whether or not
the nootropic supplements are working with adhd it's a little bit easier because you could just
be more mindful of your ability to concentrate again like concentrate on things for a long period
of time and your productivity for for me it was income because i'm in a sales job naturally as a
result of taking nootropics you can look at your sales number and then better decide okay maybe
i need to tweak my snack because over the past few months i didn't perform as well as i usually
do so if you are totally new to nootropics and you're totally new to like nootropic stacking or
nootropic stacking strategies then i would highly recommend you watch this video right over here
where i went over 10 simple nootropic stacks that you can consider taking and most of them are just
taking two supplements or sometimes there were three and that'll give you a better idea of where
to start now some of my favorite with respect to adhd and what i'm currently using and that's
in my routine right now the first one would be rhodiola rosea and you'll find that rodeo rosea
is very good for heightening alertness hiding attention it's especially good at fighting fatigue
so you'll find it useful especially in the afternoon time when you're feeling a little
bit of a lack of concentration maybe you're a bit tired maybe you've had some bad experiences in the
beginning portion of the day that you just want to forget about i like to think of rhodiola rosia
as taking a nap in a pill because that's really how it feels and if you actually take a look at
examine.com you can see there is a lot of research backing the use of rhodiola rosea i love it for
stress you'll find that it will almost instantly make you in a better mood and that will really
help you out if you're experiencing withdrawals because when you take rodeo or rosia you can
in most cases feel it straight away it'll help you with concentration and you'll find
a good um regardless of whatever work you do whether you're a student whether you're
in a sales job like myself or an entrepreneur what so is it may not help you too much to get
like a cognitive boost in terms of maybe like boosting your memory or helping you look at
tasks from a different perspective but more so it'll help you just to perform at baseline
especially when you're tired and so that's why it's relevant if you're experiencing withdrawals
the second nootropic would be new pep that new pep is great around productivity around
performance around focus some users of noopept are more sensitive to it and that's why you'll
hear pretty good things about it where some people may experience brain fog or what's more common is
people just don't notice it at all so what i would recommend is if you are taking new pep you have
to be really mindful of how you're feeling and the results the results most importantly because
commonly i'll hear people say like with new pep i don't know what happened but i started using new
pep and my income's up and that was my experience with it as well it definitely does sharpen your
focus you'll find that when you use new pep you can easily focus on those high priority
activities those high paying activities and you can take your focus off of all of these smaller
things and new pep it's a very interesting new tropic because we're looking at very small dosages
dosages like 10 milligrams a day 20 milligrams or 30 milligrams whereas with other nootropics
we're usually looking at like 500 milligrams plus so it's potent i get the best results when i take
it right under my tongue and let it sit there then you may want to go ahead and get yourself
a scale you can get in the capsule form and put it under your tongue but be mindful of the fact that
if you do get it in capsules it's probably going to contain fillers which you may not want to
consume under your tongue but it could work out that way and you should likely feel some sort
of focus boost and with new pep it's important that you take some time off here and there um as
you start taking it you will build somewhat of a tolerance and that was a mistake that i made the
first year that i was taking new pep and what's great about new pep is it doesn't really take too
much time to start working and that then that can be said about rhodiola rosea as well with a lot
of neutrophilic supplements like take ashwagandha for example you will likely see the results after
a couple of weeks of continuous daily use and the next nootropic supplement is going to be lion's
mane and this one is a little bit interesting because um if you were to say to me michael i
have adhd what can i use it would really depend on specifically like how you're feeling lion's mane
i think it's really good for people with who have like mood issues maybe they're experiencing some
depression symptoms maybe they're just not feeling fulfilled they're not feeling aligned that's when
lion's mane can really help to fix things up it's a it's a pretty powerful nootropic you'll find
you're able to find fulfillment in your day you'll find that at the end of the day you're just more
likely to be excited for the following day knowing that there's learning experiences knowing that
you're uh willing to fail forward because it will shift your perspective on failure and make you
enthusiastic towards that helps you to really see things more long term and so i personally did find
lion's mane was helpful around adhd around giving me some focus giving me some clarity but that's
not for everyone because that's really lions made for you it's not something you would necessarily
take for productivity it's more so something you would take for mood to help you feel less
stressed to help to kind of like brighten your perspective on things and that's why it's not
often in a lot of nootropic blends out there like quality mind for example quality of mind is a
nootropic blend that's designed around performance and productivity but it's worth giving a try if
you are going to give it a shot i would recommend you get the eight to one dual extract you can find
that on nootropics depot and i absolutely love lion's mane i plan to take it for however many
more years i am alive it's i've talked about it in depth in this video over here and i went over
the dosage side effects and what you can feel from taking it and our next nootropic at better
handling adhd-like symptoms would be l-tyrosine i absolutely love l-tyrosine major pros with this
ones there are some cons found in chicken breasts it's also found in very high amounts in egg whites
the question comes like why would you take l-tyrosine in supplemental form and the reason
for that is because when you take l-tyrosine independently you really feel the effects you
will find yourself more alert you'll find yourself having much better concentration it's very similar
to caffeine like when you ingest caffeine you feel a bit of a euphoria you want to go ahead
and look at your to-do list and get things done or maybe you're thinking about money it makes
it such that you get that pick of dopamine for you to be willing to take actions that are going
to result in a specific award you get that goal driven behavior and as a result it makes you very
productive and the great thing about it is that you will not likely feel any sort of crash with
it when you ingest caffeine rather what happens is a few hours later you can feel of course uh that
brain fog that like sluggish feeling maybe you're low on energy but with l-tyrosine you'll find
that it is a whole lot smoother however it doesn't last for that long for most people it seems to be
about 90 minutes and where i especially like using l-tyrosine is pre-workout you'll often find that
when you use it prior to performance whether it's cardio or lifting weights that you will have a
much better workout you'll be able to build muscle get that muscle hypertrophy you want or with fat
loss it really does actually help to really help you get the fat out of the fat cells and into the
bloodstream and then once it's in the bloodstream you can effectively use it as fuel and burn off
that fat however um there are side effects often reported when it comes to anxiety but i
can't think of any other like naturally occurring supplement out there that is this good for adhd
like it's really worth giving a shot to especially in the evening if you're lacking a little bit of
focus and you don't want to reach out for that caffeine because caffeine will keep you up at
night that's when l-tyrosine is a great supplement to use so for that reason i would highly recommend
that you look into it common dosages of l-tyrosine when you're using it for focus are about
750 milligrams if you were to take one gram plus it may still do the job but it really doesn't like
work more effectively it may last a little bit longer i find that for me it's 750 milligrams and
i'm feeling great but be mindful that if you're somebody like myself that spends a lot of time on
the phone um in conversations maybe you're making presentations it can actually increase anxiety
levels a little bit so you have to look at the pros look at the cons the pros are that you will
be better at fighting off stress so you'll be able to maybe handle objections but the cons are that
you may not be able to have that like deep level of rapport that you would naturally feel if you
weren't using something like l-tyrosine i really hope you found this information helpful do comment
