Adderall Alternatives

[Spartan2469]

I remember reading a discussion about a peptide or something else being sourced from china that can be used as an adderall alternative. Does anyone happen to know what that is?

 

[Yay-Z1]

Semax?

 

[Jabber]

Semax, cerebrolysin, selank, synapsin, PE 22-28, Cortexin, Pinealon? Non pep lions mane?

 

[amagro]

I need to look into this. I’m on a different med now (after 20 years on this lol) but they’re all a hassle to get each month.

 

[Mychelle]

Is semax better IN or subQ? Anecdotally. Been really considering adding it just for this purpose.

 

[Mychelle]

But I’m completely clueless on preparing a spray 😣 though willing to learn if it’s the better way

 

[Spartan2469]

Thanks all! I’m going to be taking weekends off of adderall, and would like to take something else to help get through the day.

Semax and modafinil were the two alternatives I’ve found. Can’t find modafinil, and it looks like the preferred way to take semax is IN, which I need to do some research on.

I am doing both - 1 mg subQ M-F first AM, and then a couple IN shots in the afternoon when I feel the need.) It ain't Adderall, but I definitely get a benefit in focus and staying on task.

I’ll have to look, I remember that discussion as well and researched it. The only thing I remember from my research is that it’s sourced from pig brains and at that moment, I said to myself “I’m out”. 🤣 Let me see if I can find it.

 

[Meph2u]

Cerebrolysin

 

[Meph2u]

Noopept - amazing stuff. Only requires a literal pinch it’s so strong.

so you get powder? I found this https://www.purenootropics.net/products/noopept But didn't look on everychem yet

 

[Meph2u]

I can’t vouch for that brand, or even every chem, but it should be very cheap, and it works like a charm for your research.

where do you get the powder and how is it consumed?

 

[Meph2u]

Can we please use the research subject descriptions? What about Cerebrolysin?

I don't understand, was that a reply to my question about source and consumption method?

Hey I tried messaging you on Discord. May be fastest

For some reason, it’s now saying you won’t accept messages from me. I think Mercury in Retrograde is effecting this week of communication for me. Not sure what’s going on. I tried to write you back tho

Having weird communication issues. Not sure why I can’t reply to you. Tried to add you as a friend but it won’t let me.

Modafinil you can get through BG Pharma, they offer both Driada and pharma grade.

 

[Droidsurgeon]

www.russianmeds.com you can get cerebrolysin and cortexin. I would check those

 

[adria37]

Pig brains?? is there any concern for prion diseases?

Modafinil is the closest thing that's been mentioned in this thread that could work as a substitute for Adderall. You're not going to get the same feeling with any peptides.

 

[AlexDavis43]

I've never used it but people in this space have been using it for a while. Actual cases seem exceedingly rare and in weird unknown cases or hunters who ate infected deer.

Hopefully if a pig showed signs of prion disease, they wouldn't extract brain peptides from said pig.

I have seen it and it is a horrible death. The person previously worked in a Texas slaughterhouse. When they say mad cow has never been in the US they fail to mention CJD which is what mad cow is called in humans. There are ~ 500 cases diagnosed in the US per year. It is always fatal. Prions are hard to destroy so if there was a prion infected pig brain used to make the medication it would be transmittable. I can't remember exactly what the temperature is to kill a prion (1000 degrees maybe) but I know normal sterilization of surgical instruments will not do it and you can't freeze them out. We sealed the room and had the CDC involved. This was in the early 2000 or late 1990's.

They have had multiple transmissions via brain surgery (sterilized normal) - now days, according to Mayo, if potential for prions the tools are destroyed.

 

[milos]

I can recommend armodafinil, not peptide, but its a good alternative medication. From India its for around USD10/strip only

Scary shit. I am a lifelong vegetarian but any thing made with brains scares me. You know that "chronic wasting syndrome" is the same thing. It is in elk and deer. I have a feeling no one knows about this because the risk of panic. How would a hunter know if the deer they killed and ate had the early stages of it. I am not sure if people eat elk. Initially they said not to eat the meat of animals you thought might have chronic wasting syndrome but if you had it wasn't transmittable to humans but the latest info from the CDC is not to eat the meat. "Michael Osterholm, Ph.D. is a world-renowned epidemiologist, said transmission to humans has not yet been confirmed, but research suggests it is increasingly likely— especially as the disease continues to spread among deer and elk."

I've taken modafinil (the generic Indian brands). It's fairly inexpensive and it does work but if you don't take it *really* early in the morning it can cause insomnia. I was trying to off set the fatigue from tirz and it did help me get through work without crashing. Also took it in college at times to help study w/ harder classes like anatomy but I only really noticed a positive difference with math homework. Took semax as a nasal spray once and it was really subtle and at times I hardly felt anything at all.

I cant tolerate modafinil effects, armodafinil feels much better, but yes you are right with insomnia, Im on sleep medications so no issues for me 😉

 

[goodvibes671]

Tesofensine. This is not a peptide, but I have heard it being compared to Adderall. I use it and my husband uses it. Neither of us have used Adderall before, but I can tell you that both of us experience an enhanced ability to focus and concentrate on Teso.

It helps with my appetite suppression. I stack with Reta.

I’m with ya 💯 Armodafinil !! I’ve been using the same source for 4-5 years now and usually it breaks down to abt $.75 cents per 💊.
Pharma ADD ADHD meds these days are SO watered down, they certainly aren’t what they use to be years ago!
