    I struggle with anxiety, ADD, OCD and rumination/overthinking. My cortisol, ACTH and prolactin is elevated (prolactin low after D2-agonist treatment). I think my main problems are low dopamine and low GABA. Which drugs and supplements do you recommend?

    Human study - vitamin B6 may relieve anxiety and depression

    Vitamin B6 is perhaps one of the most underrated B vitamins. While it attracted a lot of interest in the 1960s and 1970s as a potential natural treatment to raise dopamine and/or lower prolactin, subsequent "well-controlled" studies claimed that it was not effective. However, the fact remains...

    It's not perfect, but it's one of the best I can find and it even has thiamine (nitrate form) which is not common in energy drinks.

    AlloP - Liquid Allopregnanolone For Lab/R&D

    Just a quick announcement that we have replaced the 5α-DHP in our store with allopregnanolone. The main reason for switching over to allopregnanolone is that we always wanted to provide that steroid right from the start, however we could not find a lab willing to synthesize it. Thus, 5α-DHP...

    Fasoracetam upregulates GABA-B receptors and reduces learned helplessness

    Fasoracetam might be especially interesting for people that don't react well to the other racetams and stimulants in generel. I've found that phenylpiracetam can make me a bit irritable, but stacking it with something GABAergic alleviated that. Or people dealing with anxiety, depression...
