Trying to decide between Citicoline or Resonance Lions Mane to improve my memory, mood and blood flow to the brain

Original post in this thread

Okay hear me out and be kind because I’m still learning hahah.

Essentially I need to improve my memory, visual memory recall and my mood. I know the more blood flow to the brain the better.I know both citicoline and lions mane do all of these things but of course they are both different at the same time.

I also know they both can affect/increase serotonin and while being on Wellbutrin xl 150mg and Zoloft 50mg I do not want to have serotonin syndrome. It’s rare but I experienced a small amount of it when taking bromelain and it was not fun.

I’ve done small doses of lithium orotate for my mood while in these medications and it was great. Everything seemed to level out. Then when I read about the benefits of citicoline I thought this could be an alternative to help with my mood while also helping my memory and blood flow.

My main question is: Should I take resonance (linked) lions mane or citicoline?

My second question: Do I have to worry about serotonin syndrome?

Thanks so much in advance for any help and input.

As has already been stated, there is no 5% erinacine A extract. It's a lie. The highest we have been able to make in production batches is 1%, and that's with years and millions of dollars in R&D. Anyone can lie and say 5%. It's bullshit, though.

That's a good one. Cognizin also has some research on improvement of eye sight, too. Alpha-GPC should provide similar effects as Cognizin. Noopept and prl-8-53 help as well. I'd give lion's mane a shot, too.
