My Experience with Neuraflo and Stimulants
Growing up, I always had trouble sitting still, but it was never really a problem until college when it began impacting my ability to finish coursework. After being diagnosed with ADHD, I was prescribed Adderall, and it quickly became my go-to. I relied on it to push through the relentless workload of architecture school. At first, it felt like a miracle—my focus sharpened, and I was even finishing things early. But over time, I started to notice the vibrant parts of my personality fading, and my creativity felt more forced than ever.
The swings between being "on" and "off" Adderall became exhausting. On it, I was a machine—efficient, yes, but also robotic. Off it, I felt like a hollow shell, struggling with mood swings that left me feeling disconnected from the things I loved, especially my passions and creativity. It reached a point where the side effects were outweighing the benefits. I realized that the very thing I had turned to for control was starting to control me.
After graduating, I made the difficult decision to wing off the medication with the help of my therapist and PCP. I knew I needed a change, but the idea of letting go of the one thing that helped me survive school was terrifying. I spent the year after college experimenting with different natural supplements like lions mane, yerba mate and vitamin B. They all worked to an extent, but it was nothing like the instant stimulation Adderrall had provided. I found myself getting behind at work, and starting to take the work home. It became a never ending cycle of always feeling like I wasn't getting enough done.
A friend gave me some Neuraflo to try and I was pretty excited because it contains so many of the things I had tried on their own. In all honesty, the first time I took it, I forgot I had taken it but I sat down and sent 65 cold outreach emails for my company. It was then that I realized - it had been years since I was able to sit and complete a task that efficiently and not get sidetracked.
Since then, I have been taking it every few days. Now, when I sit down to sketch or plan a new project, I don’t feel like I’m forcing myself through a fog. I feel connected to my work, and more importantly, to myself. I’m not saying Neuraflo is a magic bullet—nothing is. But for me, it’s been a way to focus, while maintaining my emotional balance. It’s been a reminder to look toward natural and herbal solutions.
With my new-found efficiency, I'm able to get more work done and return do doing the hobbies that I love.
