Drugs.


Indeed. Not necessarily the drugs everybody thinks though.

Zolpidem (5mg taken in the morning when you are well-rested) apparently does magic - totally nails ADHD. I have never been nearly this alive, present (attentive, mindful), concentrated, non-lazy for the whole day. Better than anything (I have experimented with almost everything in light doses) to enhance my day.

I suspect ADHD has something to do with GABA deficiency/insensitivity.


Have you been taking it long-term? I see that it's only recommended for short-term usage.


No, I haven't and don't plan to take it regularly/long-term. I also don't use it the way it is meant to be used (as a sleep aid).

I also don't drive (at all - this is Ok in the EU). Don't try daytime zolpidem if you do - even the theoretical risk is too much because you are not risking health issues, you are risking death in such a case, also of random innocent people.

Oh, by the way, I probably should have mentioned this for sake of potential reproducibility: I currently am on the daily piracetam + lion's mane + vitamins&minerals stack and I also took royal jelly the days I experimented with zolpidem. Perhaps zolpidem wouldn't cure ADHD and would just make me sleepy if taken alone (the substances mentioned didn't have such an anti-ADHD effect without zolpidem though).
