Another Caffeine question
Original post in this thread

I started taking caffeine 8 years ago for the specific purpose of prolonging my Intermittent fasting before my first meal daily.
Somewhere along the line, I don't know when blurred into not a tool for fat loss but for my mental health. I dealt with several issues few over the past few years, eating disorders, anxiety, adhd, etc. Long story short. I quit caffeine during the past 3 months during the quarantine as I was getting negative fluctuations in my energy and mood. For the past 3 months. I've had a persistent subtle dysthmia / depression /anhedonia whatever its called.
I would describe as a decrease in my desire for social interactions / extraversion / willingness to engage with the world. Also motivation and energy were down.
During my time off I tried many things, here are those I've tried but none of them compare to caffeine:
1. RGPU-95
2. Phenibut
3. Phenylpiracetam (had mild effects)
4. Fl-modafinil
5. PPAP-HCL
6. Bromantane
7. Coluracetam
8. Cordyceps
9. Rhodiola
10. Ginseng gs15-4
11. Coq10
12. Longvida
13. St johns wort
14. Sam-e
15. Satiereal saffron
16. Zembrin
17. Alcar
18. Fasoracetam
19. Theacrine
20. Uridine
21. Tianeptine
I'm currently on polygala, ks…

Sorry for pulling this off-topic, but NMN sounds really interesting... do you think the NMN would pair well with your (ND's) advanced mood stack? I'm trying to find something that'll help with anhedonia & lethargy specifically.

Ohh, absolutely. I take most of those things myself, and NMN goes really well with them. I would suggest adding in CoQSol-CF as well.
