Your go to for OCD?

Original post in this thread

Do any of you suffer from OCD?(lol)
If so do you take anything that helps with it?

I've been taking NAC and occasionally Kratom for when it's real bad.

I also intentionally mess things up and not clean them to "challenge" my OCD.

Still it's a struggle for me and other members of the intelligensia who, like me, carry an Atlas Stone upon our shoulders...

Kava (acts through GABA) but it isn't super sustainable. Mostly because it doesn't last very long at all (<2 hours personally) and there isn't a very good cost / dose ratio compared, at least, to what we're used to with other supplements / nootropics usually.

Memantine (voltage-dependent NMDA antagonist) however, has a crazy long half-life and works pretty well.

(also /u/MisterYouAreSoDumb I don't know if you're interested in kava at all, but a good, noble kava from you would be a godsend)

Kava is interesting. However, as /u/Rogermcfarley stated, there seems to be good kava suppliers already. If we were ever to do one, we would take a more analytical and scientific approach to things; perhaps standardizing to a specific kavalactone for unique effects. I doubt we would ever supply bulk kava.

Kanna- fantastic anxiolytic nootropic

Replying to Guthix47 · You sure? I mean there's kava bars and shit but kanna seems pretty unheard of. Where does it rank health wise between things like kava, kratom, and cannabis?

Kava has hepatotoxic compounds in its leaves. So poorly made extracts can cause liver damage. That's probably what you read. Kava root itself is pretty safe. Just don't get the leaves mix in the extract. There are no kn

Who's buying what tomorrow?

Replying to drop0dead · This is the second year this has happened while I'm out of work, makes me want to cry. If I had any cash I'd get centrophenoxine, agmatine, skull cap, kava, nmn, nr, and ginger.

PM me when you are back working. I will get you taken care of.

I run a Kava company. Would you consider Kava a Nootropic?

Replying to PacificIslandKava · All hepatoxin claims have finally been officially debunked after years of getting it to trial in Germany. Its a shame of what the spear campaign did to the industry and the econom

Wait, where do you see it has been officially debunked? I am not seeing any evidence that the possible hepatotoxicity has been proven wrong. In fact, I am seeing much evidence from recent studies not only proving it to b

Best kind of tea for nootropics purposes?

You have it backwards. White tea has the least amount of caffeine and the highest polyphenols and catechins, like EGCG. Black tea has the highest caffeine content and L-theanine due to the oxidation process. White and gr
