Any interest in a subredit for older nootropics users?

I have been thinking of starting a sub for older nootropics users such as myself. I have not seen anything specifically in this vein. I am 62, and have many of the symptoms related to early onset Dementia, such as foggy brain, heavy memory issues, both short and long term and reduced analytical ability. I found this sub as part of my efforts to educate myself in the subject and to see what these substances could possibly do for me. After about 2 weeks of using a basic stack I can report some improvement, but would like to see what could be done to further improve my mental situation. As I said in an earlier post, my brain is my single most valuable possession, if it breaks down any further I am basically done.
Edit 3/27: Doubled up on the Choline dosage today to about 500mg total, will see how the 3pm droop is affected.
After work: Today turned out to be a non standard day, as I had to go out to demo some software to a prospect. Any time I can get out of the office and be driven around the south west Ontario area at 80km/h, looking at windgens and massive greenhouses my eyes (and my mind) feel better. Time they invented the brain-interface-to-the-internet-Wi-Fi-chip. I would be…

Your morning routine has only 150mg of CDP-Choline - that dose sounds a bit low to me! I take a total of 1000mg (1g) a day; maybe you'd do better with 500mg in the morning and 500mg at lunch (in place of standard choline) for better results!
Also, that early/mid afternoon fatigue has, at least, in my experience, occurred when I've had a lunch heavy in carbohydrates. Carbs cause an insulin response, which leads to a reduction in blood sugar (and thus the tired feeling!). Not meaning to advertise or anything, but since going on a ketogenic diet, I've had much more energy overall, and less fatigue post-meals. Check out /r/keto if you're curious.

Man, you need a gram of CDP-choline per day? Do you get headaches and brainfog without it?
