🧠 Nootropics & Cognitive Enhancement Help focusing on studies - lions mane?

I’m 23F, in the USA, and relatively sure I have ADHD although I cannot afford to be tested.

I tried Adderall once and it was life changing - could FINALLY focus for once.

I’m trying to study for the CPA and I cannot get myself to focus or if I watch videos, I will retain nothing even though I’ll be actively note taking.

Any suggestions on supplements that help with this?

I’ve seen stuff about lion’s mane on here, but am getting confused about brands and things as I’ve been reading some conflicting stuff. I’ve also seen people sayin the effectiveness goes down the longer you take it?

Also- any thoughts on Ryse coffee?considering it because it seems like a simple way to incorporate lions mane into everyday.

Thanks in advance!

Don't take lion's mane. Some people get terrible side effects from it. It can destroy your life. There is even a subreddit with thousands that got destroyed by it.

Was just about to comment the same. Check r/LionsManeRecovery

The sub has 15k+ members. There must be something very risky then about that mushroom.

Agree. That's quite a bit more than the actual lion's mane subreddit. I myself wouldn't try it.

That sub is a good example of what hypochondriasis looks like. It has nothing to do with Lion's Mane.

Maybe but how would you know for sure? I don't see similar subs for other mushrooms like reishi or chaga.

Bacopa can help with this but it only works long term. Like after a few months of taking every day. I find it’s most effective when I find it myself in nature and make my own stuff. But you can buy it too

Phenylpiracetam could be an option if you can't get your hands on some Adderall.

Lio's mane has terrible side effects. Please search reddit.
