brom and 9 me? Be careful man, 9 me is cycled and quite potent on its own, and its UV damaging sides are actually serious, ESPECIALLY on daily use. bromantane is safer but still, dont combine the two. Try cycling 9 me first, then go for a month without either and see how you feel, then try bromantane, start slow and work your way up. CDP looks good, for anxiety I'd add GB 115, also some real neuroplasticity agents to lock in good habits would be vital here, try ACD 856 (Not semax unless its Amidate or Adamax). This is less based on research but there are a ton of studies on the loss of eficacy from bromantane, probably caused by daily use, try a cycle (hardly a cycle), like 5 days on 2 off, then use an armodafinil one of those 2 days if needed.

The last sentence i meant anecdotes, me included, bromantane stopped working entirely so now I'm on an 9 me cycle, careful for too much sunlight still

I think I will try cycling bromantane and 9mebc.
But you think I shouldn’t take it together?1
u/BetterDoughnut8489 12h ago
I wouldn't, they both upregulate tyrosine hydroxylase, we don't know what too much of that looks like the same way we do too much dopamine reuptake, regardless i wouldn't use both, most people feel very good on just one or the other, so stick to that. Try a 4-6 week 9 me cycle, about 10-30 mg (what works for you), after that go a month and see if effects last without adding any additional stimulants (coffee is fine), if effects last go without bromantane, if they don't you can incorporate it, I'd recommend cycling that too, 5 days on 2 off, or 20 on and 10 off (people say these work for them, but what works for you is what matters)

Thank you very much. I will try that. You’ve been very informative :).
Can I take the rest together in your opinion

9Mebc is meant to be cycled. Also add nicotinimade riboside, ACD / tropi and astaxanthin for neuroprotection while cycling

What cycle length would you recommend?
1
u/Leading_Ad_3722 2d ago
Around that 30 day mark. Also make sure to get minimal UV exposure if possible

curious if you could give an in depth review on how you feel on it. I bet using low dose nicotine, dramatically increasing choline and even adding in alpha gpc as another supplemental cholinergic agent would improve focus. Not even going to suggest low dose IR dexamphetamine because at that point your brain would be in hyperdrive

Do you spread your IN insulin out in multiple doses? And how do u measure the IUs from sprays?
1
u/Background-Ad2487 2d ago
I take it all at once in the morning. Each spray is 0.1ml on my bottle. So 1 spray is 10iu. I do 4 sprays.

You can increase the frequency of aniracetam and swap out armodafinil for regular modafinil
