I wonder if not many people use the *LCARs simply because they cant believe how a simple supplement can help such a chronic symptom/side effect. After all, thats why it took me so long to try these nootropics. I mean, how can something you buy over the counter be better than, say, Provigil? I think thats how people (myself included) end up thinking when they've been through nearly every AD out there.When I said in an earlier post "JEEEZ this stuff is awsome" it wasn't because I felt charged full of energy but rather because I felt completely fatigue free yet also felt like I'd taken no drugs at all. THATS what felt so amazing.
Also, have you considered cutting right back on the nootropics untill you get a 'feeling' for Nardil? When Nardil first kicked in for me I had NO fatigue at all, a little daytime sedation maybe but it wasn't problematic & didn't occur if I was busy like working. Theres nothing like pure Nardil euphoria if your one of the lucky ones. Then you can re-introduce your nootropics if & when the fatigue sets in. Just thinking out loud.
When do you make the switch? Hope all goes well.
