If you're still thinking about coming down, don't. They shut it down early due to too many people passing out from the heat.

Hi all,
I have ADHD (diagnosed), autism (undiagnosed but highly likely), and trichotillomania (diagnosed). From research, all affect or are exacerbated by histamine, glutamate, and GABA pathway dysfunction. I also have MTHFR mutation. Lots of supplements have the opposite effect for me.

Lots of supplements tried over the years for general brain function and health. I've found that I'm extremely sensitive negatively to supplements that act on GABA-ergic pathways and serotonin.

Negative effects:
-Ashwagandha (KSM-66) worked decently for a while for stress but now makes me irritated and more stressed (yes, i've cycled this)
-L-theanine either does nothing or makes me extremely distant and depersonalized
-Rhodiola makes me EXTREMELY depressed (probably strongest negative experience of any supplement I've taken)
-Magnesium glycinate (intense sleep hangover effect)
-NAC, tried this way back for trich but made me more anxious. havent experimented with it further.

Positive effects:
-Black maca (works for energy)
-Tart cherry powder (helps me fall/stay asleep)
-Sulbutiamine (good for focus when needed, i lose track of time in a good way)
-and of course the basics (water, creatine, lifting heavy, omega supplement, vitamin D/sun)

Has anyone else in a similar situation found anything else that really works for them with positive effects or at least no negatives either for mental effects or general health?

Hey all, I'm pretty settled on a Haworth Fern. Luckily there's a showroom right across the street from my office. Does anyone have any idea showrooms like these do individual sales to consumers and if discounts or haggling are on the table at places like these or should I just buy online or hold out for a used/refurb?
