Hello,
It's my first post.
i'm 38 years old man. Had problems with maladaptive daydreaming since childhood. I also have OCD. OCD made my life living hell in my teenage years and in my 20's, but with time i found ways to manage it and do pretty ok even without medication. Unfortunately, maladaptive daydreaming is another story - until now i just cannot deal with it. I'm terribly distracted by it, it is very difficult to work when it gets bad, i absolutely cannot concentrate, it makes me socially awkward...
I'm desperately trying to find some over the counter medication for it. I'm going through different nootropics mostly from iherb.com hoping to find something effective against maladaptive daydreaming.
tried Mindlabpro - better feeling mentally overall - better sleep, relaxation, but not effective against daydreaming.
lion's mane mushroom+ginko biloba - definitely mental energy boost, increased energy, but no good effect for concentration or daydreaming condition...
tried some other but no big success there..
tried ST Johns worth - no effect
L-theanine - temporary increase in mental energy, but concentration doesn't get better
i was taking SSRI for some time ago for my OCD. I guess it gave some good results with condition but it made me sleepy, and it is addictive.
Any advice from others?
Could someone recommend something for this condition, something to increase focus? Preferably something from over the counter medication?
Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
