      Cool Supplement, herb, and vitamin collection, what to take together?

      Currently, after receiving my order in the mail, I have as follows.

      A galantamine 4mg + choline 200mg pill

      60mg Ginkgo Biloba (standardized at 24% ginkgo flavone glycosides)

      1200mg Omega 3-6-9 pills

      3mg Melatonin pills

      A Choline Bitartrate 250mg + Inositol 250mg pill

      2500 mcg sublingual B-12

      100mg B-6

      100mg 5-HTP

      soon, due to a post I just read, I will also add 300mg L-Theanine, 4000mg L-glutamine, and 2000mg L-aspartic acid pills to my large collection.


      Should I still to taking most of the stuff I would normally take right when i wake up after a few hours of sleep (like the ginkgo, B6, B12, and omega's), or should I take those during the daytime a few hours before bed, and take the Galantamine+Choline combo in place (after 4 or 5 hours of sleep). I stick to taking 1=3 mg melatonin and perhaps 100mg of 5-HTP alittle before bed.


      What do you guys think, any ideas? I will also be getting DHEA and Saw Palmetto later today for brain and other health reasons. I'll add those in with a edit once i figure out what the mg doseage of those pills are.

      Check what is said on this site about each aid. Some do similar things, so you could (A) SAFELY double up on things that go together (i.e. Melatonin and Tryptophan both cause REM rebound), or (B) Mix one thing that does x with another that does Y. Most of the good combinations that are also safe are in the supplement repository.
      Here's some combos I've used:

      Melatonin (REM rebound) + Choline (Vividness/Recall Enhancement)
      Tryptophan (Rem rebound) + Galantamine/Choline (Vividness/Recall/Acetylcholine production)
      Calea Z (Rem rebound/vividness) + Tryptophan (Rem rebound) + Choline

      Having said that: I think an even bigger factor in the whole thing is being able to catch your sleep patterns, and I put a lot into audio aids myself.

      As for your poll: I've had too many crazy experiences, so I can't really say one applies.
      - My first lucid dream happened over a holiday at 12 am on a Monday when I was off so I could rest. I took a 5-HTP, but I took that to help me get to bed originally. I ended up having my first moment of looking at my hands, and there I was flying an F16.
      - My 8 DEILD chain happened when I took Melatonin on a weeknight, woke up after about five hours of sleep, took tryptophan and galantamine+choline, then woke up to stay up a total of two hours because the two have a high chance of waking one up. After I went to bed I went through SP and it happened.

      The rest are with several combinations, but one of my most epic came without anything. I was very tired on a Friday, so I went to bed at 9:45 pm thinking I would wake up a few hours later after a nap. Instead I slept for six hours, woke up to eat breakfast over a period of an hour, then I went back to sleep. I listened to an audio aid for 17 minutes to help with sleep, and had an epic lucid dream.

      The best information I have found regarding combinations of supplements is Thomas Yuschak's Advanced Lucid Dreaming, The Power of Supplements

      I would be careful taking combinations at random.
