Thread: CanisLucidus' Workbook

Taking it at the beginning of the night will utterly screw you over.

I think that's were I went wrong before. I will PM you for more info when it comes time. Thanks!

Because now I'm too paranoid to touch the stuff again haha.

Anyway, I'm excited to see how you continue with this CL!

Heh heh, I totally get what you mean! Remember that I am the guy who managed to get a poison ivy-like rash on his face just from eating a freakin mango! So I am very understanding of the desire to be as careful as possible.

FWIW, I utilize 5-HTP before bed on my galantamine day. It's the only day that I use it. It's 5-HTP before bed, then G+C only after a WBTB, with a super-small serving of melatonin. (I literally chop up a 3mg tab with a knife.) Edit: Also, piracetam the next morning as an extra preventive measure against desensitization, although the infrequency alone is probably enough.

And thanks for the compliment about the approach. I like to build my failsafes in at the beginning when willpower is still plentiful. If you have any questions at all about G+C, please don't hesitate to hit me up.

Cool, if you were taking it before bed then the fix will be really easy... just going to WBTB would be a huge difference. I never tried taking galantamine right before bed but everything I've read indicates that it is a pretty unpleasant experience. But after 5 hours of sleep, it's a different story entirely. And with 5-HTP before bed, the effect is magnified since you've spent the vast majority of that time in deep sleep.
