Idebenone is a unique supplement. For me (a graduate student) it is soothing, calming serotonin booster. I've taken between 30 and 150mg, weighted on a digital milligram scale. For me it is NOT a smart drug, infact it pleasantly calms and numbs the cognitive edge other supplements found here. When I study or do intellectual work, I CANNOT take idebeonone, or else it will fog my mind up. The right time to take it for me... is usually an hour before bedtime, and I sleep better and wake up refreshed.
If you aren't interested in intellectual advantage and just wanted to be in a good mood or to lift up out of a funk, it would be a good blue color drug or an anti-depressant far superior to something like St. John's Wort. Take it after a hard day of work to veg out and watch some TV. It markedly potentiates the serotonin-boosting effects of drugs like tryptophan or Kanna if you take them a couple hours after you take idebenone. |
