Taking KSM-66 and Guta Kola, developed some sort of insomnia?

Original post in this thread

I stupidly started taking both about a week apart from each other (KSM first) and have been taking them both for about a month now so I am uncertain which might be the cause, if any. I have seen changes in my mood for the better: I am less stressed, it's easier to "let things go", and I generally have less obtrusive thoughts.

However, I've also developed insomnia or something similar in that I cannot sleep for more than 3-5 hours at a time. I am posting this after getting 3.5 hours of sleep and feel completely unable to go back to sleep. Again, I am not sure if this is actual insomnia or not but it sure is a sleep loss problem of some sort.

This seems counterintuitive because every time I Google both, they are said to improve sleep or even be used to treat insomnia individually, but perhaps taking both is causing a problem?

I had never had this happen except when taking a particular antidepressant about two years ago, I had similar results in mood but quit because of the same type of "insomnia", along with other sides, which stopped fairly quickly after I discontinued use of it. I had seen similar benefits in mood from that drug. I tried many others with no benefits or lots of…

So I stopped taking sensoril and it made no difference. My sweaty hands came back, though. Ashwaganda has been a life saver in that regard. I do have a quick question for you. I’ve been taking l-tyrosine for the past 3 weeks with no effects. I was taking 350mg once a day. I lowered my dose to 175mg and am getting much better results. Any reason as to why this might be?

Ahh, then the issue is likely that you have low COMT! That means you are slow at breaking down catecholamines like norepinephrine and dopamine. So you likely need lower dosages of things that increase catecholamines. This would also explain the sleep issues. Have you ever had genetic testing done like with 23andMe?

Possible Fake?

Always make sure it says "sold by Nootropics Depot" when buying from us on Amazon. We have brand protection on there, which is supposed to prevent hijacking of our listings. However, they seem to have found a way around
