Hi there itchyouch, I appreciate your reply to my comment and the accompanying document you created: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42379299

Updated my email in my bio, and also you don't have an email address in your bio. I see you also are interested on ADHD. I also was diagnosed with adult ADHD relatively recently. I'm in the process of finding what works for me. I'm interested in your supplement-based approach. I mostly overlooked it till now, basing my treatment approach mostly on the last ADDitude survey (https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-treatments-scorecard-medica...)

> Meds like adderall or provigil tend to be demanding on the brain neurochemistry, so supporting the biochemistry becomes an important part of the strategy, rather than continually going back to the doctor to bump up the dose.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Do the meds lead to overconsumption of scarce chemical resources in the brain?

I'd be glad if we could get in touch via email.
