I’m seeing a doctor in two weeks, in an attempt to obtain some sort of something to attack my chronic akrasia (chronic in the sense that it appears to get worse over time). Bloodtesting is planned. Aside from thyroid hormone, iron and testosterone, is there anything specific I should ask about? If I get the chance to bring up alternatives (I.E. citing uncooperative sleep to try and aim for a -afinil), are there any in particular I should focus on?
For the record, I tried Focalin briefly in 2010, followed by Prozac. The Focalin appeared to help with focus but not choice, and either dropped off after the first week, stopped taking effect on something useful, or was placebo all along. Prozac didn’t strike me as doing much of anything (or at least, I was not happy enough with the results to bother refilling after several months).
I want to try Creatine whenever possible, which probably means next week at the earliest. Should I wait until after the tests?
I haven’t found creatine to have much mental effect, but once you start trying it I recommend trying some intense exercise—creatine made it dramatically more comfortable.
