Have you tried pregnenolone? There’s an anecdote of Peat dropping some pregnenolone into the drinks of two alcoholics and they went from their usual depressive discussions to getting excited about life and talking about what they are going to do.

Nope it did not. I plan on dropping all alcohol consumption and just gonna try hard to do what i need to do.

its so weird even in adderal i procrastinate. The only time i ever felt like i didnt procrastinate is the first 15 mins of a weed high i literally suddenly enjoy doing all the things i dont enjoy doing. Then its passes and i get sleepy. I tried researching this mechanism couldnt get to the bottom of it

If you procrastinate on adderall your problem is probably less to do with any hormone than it is to do with being undisciplined and possessing a flabby soul. You can take every chemical under the sun but you need to start moving your legs at some point. The fact that you mention enjoyment is telling wrt this-- to gain enjoyment from work you need to start by doing work whether or not you enjoy it. It's really that simple and none of the hormones people on here will try to push your way will do anything but make this step a little easier

Adderall only caused extreme anxiety for me and a desire to stay in the house and drink alcohol as a means of not feeling on edge...

1. Go on a dopamine fast - no social media, raypeatforum, TV, smartphone, porn
2. Connect working on your goals with dopamine releasing activities - food, sex, breaks, social interactions (eat breakfast only after you have worked for at least 2 hours on your goals, have sex only after achieving your daily goal......)
I think this anti peat

I personally found this to be a life changing substance for my general motivation and desire to crush tasks. It's actually partially the reason I put it in my product.


Here's some research:

Key Benefits:

1. Increases sensitivity and reduces tolerance to caffeine and other stimulants, thereby allowing the person the feel the stimulating effects to a stronger degree (R).
2. Powerfully motivating and energising, reducing procrastination and enhances mental clarity through increasing dopamine receptor density (R).
3. Increases memory and alertness through increasing phospholipids in the brain, thereby maintaining optimal cognitive function with age (R).
4. Increases dopamine release directly, leading to mental clarity, motivation and drive (R).
5. Strengthen memory consolidation and retrieval of memories through increasing neurite outgrowth and NGF (R).
6. Dietary uridine enhances the improvement in learning and memory produced by administering DHA (R).
7. Uridine administration for seven days to healthy volunteers significantly increased brain PME levels - phosphocholine (PCho) and phosphoethanolamine (PEtn) - thereby supporting memory and learning (R).
8. Oral administration of uridine to experimental animals increases the levels of phosphatides and synaptic proteins in the brain and per brain cell as well as the numbers of dendritic spines on hippocampal neurons (R).
Am trying this instead of relying on stims.

Do you take stims like adderall / vyvanse etc. I can imagine the stress of a startup / doing youtube videos. I get anxiety just worrying about how people will look at me in the video !

Hello everyone,

For the past 9 years my tendency to procrastinate has gotten worse and worse! The past year it slightly improved but over at 27 this procrastination is absolutely destroying opportunities for me.

I’ve been prescribed ADD meds in the past but I find them to be something that might be detrimental to my health if I take them consistently. Whenever I take adderall for example my focus and drive is amazing I feel euphoric and I tend to get a lot done yet I still procrastinate but way less.

I don’t know if this is also a sign of a problem but I love to talk. I talk way too much! It makes me feel really good.
But i find this habit to be detrimental.

Am I dopamine deficient. What could be wrong with me?
I would check out the racetams of I was you . Especially phenylpiracetam. Many people use it as a substitute for adderall.

I do not use any hardcore stimulants like ritalin/adderall, I know how dangerous and un-sustainable they can be. Honestly, I think its my insanely high Testosterone and autistic symptoms that give me unmatchable focus and drive.

I can totally relate to your situation. And I too have, back in the old days with weed, experienced the same thing. So I´m very curious if you ever since have gotten to the bottom of it?
