Awesome - I actually snorted cheap "NoDoz" in high-school +
college a bit just... because... Just because.
I found I had limits though. I went through a phase of pumping
myself full of whatever I could find OTC. Back when you could
get Ephedrine (before that stupid Texas teenage weightlifter
decided that 12 a day was a good idea and DIED), I had a daily
dose of that, energy bars, energy drinks, Mega B-12 Vitamins,
Atkins diet, weightlifting, etc.
I learned first hand about "Niacin flush". Freaked me out first
bunch of times. So I had to learn about vitamins more.
And after a year of the ephedrine, I just stopped. Got bored of
it.
In the end, I discovered my body:
a) likes protein (50g-100g a day is fine, but more is ok)
b) B12 is good sometimes
c) Zinc and Magnesium is good a few times a week. [I could go
into why but that's my nerd side coming out and I'll write a
small book right here].
and then the cigarettes and coffee, which is probably helping
the most. Helping what? I dunno. Probably keeping me 'up and at
my peak" for whatever.
Oh, and staying centered. Breath in for six seconds, hold for
six, breath out for six. Do that.. whenever. And, stay away from
excessive direct human contact....
...and continually pursue creative things.... and engage fully
with people online as if you were their last hope in a dark
world of misery and hopelessness... stuff like that.
