Is there any medication that can give me more energy?!
Question: Is there any medication that can give me more energy?
-My senior year has been extremely hectic, on top of that I'm on varsity softball, for my school. So we have games that last up to 2-3 hours. I find I can't concentrate as well.
Answers:
First of all, about the 5-HTP, this is a precursor to serotonin and serotonin is a precursor to melatonin. Usually 5-HTP doesn't give people energy! If you are having issues with mood and sleep then I would recommend 5-HTP, but not for energy.
Energy is a weighty issue. most times people treat the symptom and not the problem. In most cases your adrenal glands are the culprit. they sit on top of your kidneys and are part of your endocrine system. Your adrenal glands help you deal stress, so any time your in a stressful situation your body takes from the adrenal glands to get through the stress. Also keep in mind that when your adrenal glands are fatigued your sleep, mood and concentration are all effected. The most common sign of adrenal fatigue is that you don't sleep well at night and your tired during the day, makes sense. You can use herbs, vitamins, minerals or raw adrenal concentrate to replenish your adrenals. You can also use a combination of these.
First of all, make sure you are taking a HIGH POTENCY MULTI-VITAMIN - MULTI-MINERAL ( i.e. Solaray, Solgar, Life's Fortune, Nature's Life, basically go to the health food store not walmart or the pharmacy) and your probably going to have to take more than 1 a day. I can not stress how detrimental these are to your health. You will not get these vitamins from the foods you eat . Current methods of farming make it next to impossible. If you would like to take the herbal route, since you said you are a student I would take Gotu Kola. Gotu Kola has been shown to nourish your adrenal glands while increasing circulation to the brain. Good for those studies. BTW be careful for taking Ginseng, White Ginseng is the best for ladies as the other ginsengs boost testosterone, eek!

Caffeine is probably the best you will get over the counter without misusing a drug. Benzadrex is as strong as adderall, you can take out the cotton inside and eat it (not the whole thing without tolerance) for extreme work mode. Also pseudoephedrine isn't as great, and not euphoric, but it keeps you awake and working. Pseudoephedrine and caffeine are a good combo if you cannot find benzedrex. Otherwise prescription stimulants win hands down.
the best legal OTC drug i would suggest is 5-HTP. Its at walgreens or walmart pharmacy, its a natural mood enhancer that will wake you up and will make you hyperactive. I used to take it after i did XTC because it prevented me being extremely tired, gave me energy, and kept me happy and out of the depressive comedown. It works :)
Buy some Vitamin B12. It's for quicker and more effective brain function. I've taken it almost everyday for about six months (go for the extra kind with 49,000% daily value in it) and I feel much more energized and less sluggish in the morning.
It also makes you talk a lot more than usual but not a bad thing.
Check with your health practitioner first but triple ginseng is great to enhance your natural energy levels (note: not to be taken 3-5 hours prior to bed time) Ginseng may have best results while taken with a multivitamin and mineral supplement.
