Switched from Alpha-GPC
I am using this along with uridine (also from Double Wood) and inositol. I have stopped taking Adderall because it made me too emotionless and I read that those three things will upregulate some receptors that Adderall downregulates. It's only be a few weeks at one dose (sometimes two doses) per day and it really seems to be helping so far! I'm less hyper-rational, things seem less pointless, I feel less dissociated, and things are beginning to mildly move me again. It's been steadily improving over time. I took Adderall for years (small dose, 10mg XR/day) and I have heard that it typically takes a while to regain emotions if you experience the loss of them, so I'm relieved to see progress so quickly.
By the way, I chose Double Wood because they make the only Alpha-GPC I like, but I had to stop taking Alpha-GPC too because it does some similar things to receptors like Adderall does. So if you're in the same boat as me, switch to CDP-choline for a choline source. (There's nothing wrong with Alpha-GPC, but everyone's brain and body is different! It's good to remember that your needs can change over time depending on the combination of things you take.)
