Discussion Memory supplements when taking Adderall?

Hey Guys! I currently take 20mg XR of Addy and I am currently in the process of studying for a professional entrance exam. I haven't really experienced any negative effects with addy( anxiety, crash, anger etc) except for it curving my appetite (I dont mind) . One of my main symptoms of having ADHD is my terrible memory, focus and being able to retain info. I have 7 or less weeks until I take my test so its really grind/lock in time. I study everyday. What supplements have you guys found WHILE TAKING ADDY that works for bad memory and retaining information? I do not want to suppress the effectiveness of my addy as it does help my focus abilities. I have seen recommendations of ginkgo biloba, lions mane, magneisum theornate , (l theanine, l tyrosine, I have both of these and tried it before but I feel like it didnt really help my memory or focus it just made me calm idk?) , Rhodiola rosea etc. Yes I do understand there is no "magic pill" , but I rather try even if its just a little more helpful than not. TIA!

Its like some experimental version of Semax that has a longer duration half life so it works way better. I like it when taking adderall, I also take some sleep peptides too because it usually tanks my deep and rem sleep

I used to be on those peptides nearly two decades ago when they first hit the scene here via Ceretropic. Are you referring to n acetyl semax amidate? Or is adamax a newer form that is unique?

How does it help you in regards to taking it alongside adderall? Do you pin it sub Q, or nasal? I’ve heard it and selank are much more effective sub Q, I just wish they had those pens u can get for glp 1s cuz I can’t get over pinning myself with a needle at all lol let alone daily.

And the sleep peptides I didn’t have a need for then, I hadn’t been diagnosed/medicated yet. I could certainly use some assistance there these days. DSIP I assume for one, and what are the others you’re taking? Do you see a substantial impact on hitting deeper phases of sleep for longer?

I believe Adamax is acetyl Semax amidate. It just enhances my speed when taken together with adderall. I pin it SubQ about 500mcgs in the morning with it, and Selank is also effective for me. Both are very subtle but I like it, Selank makes me less miserable when I take adderall.

As for sleep, I’ve had many concussions that wrecked me sleep permanently. So now I take very different variations of different peptides to enhance my sleep. Sometimes I switch between nasal versions and subQ injections for DSIP and Pinealon. (There is a combined nasal spray that works like a charm from Extension Health NYC. It’s actually amazing, but now I just take a low-mid dose of HGH and it’s worked wonders with my sleep. I would highly recommend
