I'm wondering if people use Strattera to treat medical issues besides ADHD and what kind of luck they have when they do.

I have never been officially diagnosed with ADHD, but my doctor says I have strong ADHD tendencies. I take amantadine for executive dysfunction and brain fog, possibly a remnant of years-ago chemo be that never fully resolved.

The amantadine helps somewhat but I still have gaps (especially but not only task initiation). I asked my doctor about Strattera and she thinks it makes sense so we're going to discuss it at our next appointment.

Does everyone here who takes it use it strictly for ADHD? If you use it for other issues, please share.

Every weekend I combine together everything I take as a powder - NAC, aminos, sometimes Alpha-GPC, etc. - and make one little satchel for every morning, stuff I dump in water and drink to get my day going. Tonight I grabbed the wrong bottle and put as much as 300 mg Bromantane in several of them, closer to 50 mg in others, but every day has some. I did not intend to use any.

The ironic thing is that I'm not even a fan of Bromantane. I've trialed it at up to 150 mg (in oil) and it's just powder to me, I don't feel it in any way, it's inert to me. I'm not even sure why I have this bottle.

But a couple of these have a LOT, and I am not sure which satchel has the higher amounts. In other words, if I should be afraid of taking that much, I'd have to throw the whole week out. That's a not a disaster and it's not a huge cost, really just a lot of lost time.

What should I do? Toss the whole week? If I took 300 mg a couple days and smaller amounts the rest of the week, what could happen?

Thank you!

I've owned many cheap flashlights but want to buy a nice EDC for my brother and hope I can get advice from you all. He is an engineer and project manager working high-end construction jobs, office buildings and data centers, long hours, often after dark. He is also outdoors at night often, generally around farming equipment, large mowers, sometimes a campfire. He, of course, has large flashlights, but I'd like him to have one he can slip in his pocket and always have with him.

After a lot of reading and YouTube videos, I've honed in on the Zebralight SC65c HI. Is that a good choice? Is there anything better for the purposes I've described?

If I go with the SC65c, how much of a detriment is lack of a charging port? Seems to me like a bit of a hassle, but I was thinking that I'd also give him an extra battery that would make it easier, just so he change it more quickly if he's in a rush.

Where should I buy the flashlight - from Zebralight directly? Where is the best place to buy the battery and is there more than one kind?

Is there anything else I should consider?

Thank you so much. This subreddit is really great.

I have a question about your Huperzine A and any feedback you get from customers about how they use it.

Some people say they use Huperzine A daily, while others say the long half-life can make daily use problematic and consider every-other-day use more appropriate. I know responses vary, but I’m curious what you tend to hear from ND customers specifically.

Huperzine A has a small but noticeable positive effect for me, and I’d like to try using it more consistently, but I’m unsure whether daily use is too much. Do you hear more success with 200 mcg daily, 200 mcg every other day, or occasional/as-needed use?

Also, do you generally think Huperzine A should be cycled? If so, is there a cycle length you’d consider more sensible, like 5 days on / 2 off, a few weeks on / one week off, or something else?

Huperzine A is the perfect example of why I appreciate ND’s commitment to quality and transparency. I think yours is the only Huperzine A product on the market that I would really trust.

Thank you.

I'm thinking about starting atomoxetine to address an executive function issue and wanted to ask whether others have experience using it for EF.

I've lived with an EF problem for several years, I think a remnant of extreme chemo brain. I'm a lawyer by training and this has been hard on my career.

I convinced my doctor to prescribe amantadine, which has provided some relief, but I'm there yet.

Do you have any insight on atomoxetine and EF? Would it be worth giving it a shot?

I'd be grateful for your thoughts. Thank you!
