Work in progress (but basically I am committed to Transcendental Solipsism).
Taking thyroid permanently resolved my chronic insomnia as I was running on stress hormones (always wired but tired). Nothing else would work at that time, including heavy doses of trazodone. It also fixed my poor circulation (though I found t3+t4 more helpful than t3 alone; for instance in taking that combination my body temperature would increase significantly after heavy meals). Thiamine megadoses are interesting; once I had to go to work without having had any sleep the night before, and in taking about 2500mg or more of thiamine, I found myself in a somewhat euphoric energetic state. I've found Cyproheptadine reliable during times where I needed as much sleep as possible for the day after. It's a serotonin antagonist, anti-histamine, and quite the helpful sleeping aid. However, if taken rarely, it will leave you feeling drowsy the day after use, increasing the chances of sleeping in (which can be suboptimal during the week, but therapeutic during the weekend). Recently I tried metergoline, a serotonin antagonist, light dopamine agonist, and anti-prolactin drug, and while I felt normal inside, upon going outside it gave me an almost psychedelic feeling. I felt extremely present, to the point where I was slightly overstimulated (however, doing exercise got rid of that feeling), the world looked brighter, and I felt that it was more beautiful. In the past I found that low doses of methylene blue (5-10mg) plus 500mg sodium bicarbonate would result in long lasting energy, where typically the fatigue after a day of work or hiking would become minimal. However the last few times I had 500mg of sodium bicarb, it didn't sit right in my stomach. My PH may have been too basic during that period, but I've since increased coffee and oj consumption (both being acidic).
