Yes, exactly. I wait for my alarm clock after 4 or 4.5 h of sleep. |

I've been waiting for my supplier to ship out the galantamine (on backorder). In the meantime I've been using piracetam (2g/day) and lecithin (~10g/day = ~500mg actual choline) in tandem as a general nootropic (have I mentioned piracetam tastes like Satan's armpit?) |

I didn't know you were supposed to wait an hour. I've been going right back to bed after the galantamine. It seems to work really quickly to; either I WILD right away, or go to sleep and start dreaming, which approximately 75% of the time was lucid, the other times very vivid. I haven't done it that many times, so I don't know if it will continue. |
|
I guess everyone need to experiment to find the best times that will work for them. Like MoonbeamI I went back to bed right after waking and taking the supplements, but I think I needed to wait longer in bed for the dream to start than lucidus did, so maybe it's really the same. |

Spamtek mentioned trying mucuna pruriens without success. |

I've just carried out my first experiment with Galantamind. Full account in my Dream Journal: |

Yay, topic's active again. Glad you found that insanity topic on your own, dodobird, else I was going to hunt it down and link it for you. It actually surprised me to find mucuna pruriens on Yuschak's LDS list since I came to the conclusion to try it wholly independently of any dream researcher's opinions. So it's validating to see I wasn't totally off-track, but Alprazolam was pretty hardcore about telling me to stop and I wasn't going to brush off that kind of advice. Just for clarification, none of the supplements I've tried have done anything for lucidity or general vividness/recall. |

Here is the result of my second night on GalantaMind. It's good. |

The galantamine continues to work for me. An interesting thing about it is that it seems to allow some awareness of the body, more so than usual when I'm dreaming, but keeps me from waking up at the same time. When I talk, I feel like I'm talking in my sleep, yet it doesn't wake me up like it usually does. |

I was surprised when the USPS delivered my Galantamine to me yesterday; I wasn't expecting it until at least Monday. What does this mean? Experiment report! |

Maybe just forget trying to WILD, and go back to sleep. That's what I've been doing. Also, maybe if you took a tiny dose of melatonin (I found some 300 mg tablets), it would allow you to go back to sleep, yet wear off in time for the galantamine to work. |
|
Spamtek, I had similar problems on some of my attempts. The supplements are stimulators so if you are already too awake, they can cause insomnia. |

Lately my sleep schedule is quite out of order, and I prefer to wait making further attempts with supplements until I get it beck in order. I hope I have something to report soon. I have Alpha-GPC and I will try it on one of my coming attempts and post the a report here. |

As long as I'm spamming this thread with failed attempts, here's another! I threw a nicotine patch into the mix for this one. |
