Re: Could too many nootrpics targeting same area actually have reverse effect?

Bacopa, Ashwagandha, and Rhodiola are all anti-anxiety supplements and
if you aren't anxious by nature they won't benefit you during the day,
but can make for more refreshing sleep if taken at night. Choline is
probably the one supplement there that is giving you the boost. DMAE
is not needed when taking the choline. Don't take either of those at
night - they disrupt sleep patterns. Lion's Mane gives brain fog to
most people during the day so it's usually used at night, and it will
take about 6 weeks to see results from that. I don't know about
Curcumin.

If you have too much choline, you'll feel tense in the shoulders and
neck and have a dull headache. None of them should interfere with
each other. It's odd to see you using choline without anything that
uses choline up, like piracetam or huperzine.

One other thing is that most feel refreshed from Rhodiola in the first
few months and either doesn't work or turns into a sleepy feeling
after that.

You should never jump onto a regimen not knowing how each one affects
you separately. Just because it works for some, or even most people,
doesn't mean you'll react to any of them the same way.
