rhodiola rosea

Forgot about this one. Beverly even includes it in the newer formulation of Muscle Synergy.

Increase your healthy fats, also caffiene of course helps along with b-12 or complex

Anything with a benzo takes the edge off for me

Everthing else everyone mentioned is either a joke or dead wrong.

Wrong.

St. Johns Wort is backed by many studies.

Wrong.

St. Johns Wort is backed by many studies.

True enough; maybe "dead wrong" was a bad choice of words.

Recent studies are showing St. John's Wort to be no more effective than a placebo.

Check here for the basics, and check

this link for a whole shwack of pages with info.

The bottom line is more studies need to be done; This isn't uncommon with OTC supplements. Once toted as "highly effective" and "the greatest supplement since sliced bread!", newer studies are punching holes in the science (or lack thereof) of older studies. Think glutamine.

tyrosine, phenylnalaline (howevever you spell it).

what doses of phenibut choc etc etc

 

[suckamc44]

I usually take phenibut just like twice a month on weekends in place of or to cut back on drinking. I usually take like 3-5g which is a pretty high dose.

If you take it with alcohol, it can give you a wicked hangover.

With chocamine, I use it instead of coffee at ~1.5g twice a day. It's effects are a lot more subtle than phenibut. But, like someone mentioned before about coffee, it makes me pretty happy in the morning. I'm not sure how much caffeine it actually has in it, but 1.5g seems to get me going pretty good.

I've never taken rhodiola rosea myself, so I don't really know what the dosing is I think like 1g/day split into two dosings, I've heard a lot of people give it postitive feed back, so I threw it in there, plus it's pretty cheap(~$40/350g).

This is right....the only supplement I would add to this is maybe cAMP. It gives a feeling of "well being", like being able to handle anything that comes along in a rational manner. I used it as a fat loss aid last contest prep, and ended up using it much longer due to the well being feeling it gave me. I mean, level headed in the face of all problems. I think it will be a staple for me. I swear by B-Complex and fish oil also. Take as much B-Complex as you like, it is water soluble and cannot be overdone. Get a B stress complex.

Do you have any links to info on cAMP? I don't think I've heard of it till now... a quick search on google yielded a few random results for cAMP-biotin, is that the correct supp?
