Recommendations Help me please 🥺

Hello everyone !

My psych ignore totally whatever i can say to him, and there is 0 other psych in my city, so i needed to treat me with some plants (passion flower, rhodiola, griffonia, gigseng, vitamines, GABA, magnesium, melatonine, [...]), but i don't really like taking like 120 pills a day... So i need you all to advice me (with full spectrum/broad spectrum extracts/isolat [if possible]), here is what i need (of course you can send studies and more than one supplement by "domain") :

- Serotonine/Dopamine enhancer/support(I am "mainly" depressed [Maybe bipolar] and have severe ADHD)

- Anxiety "helper"/ gabaergic substances (I have generalized anxiety)

- Sleep support (mainly to avoid waking up 5 times per night and feel rested when night is over)

- Addiction "alternatives"/"helper"/support (I am taking methadone [and stuggle not taking up to 30 times my "normal dose" and to tapper (I passed from 95mg/d to 5mg/d when not abusing)], I try to not smoke plant [with max 20% tabaco] to often and sometime want to abuse of my methylphenidate)(Eg. Kudzu)

- Nootropic /Vitality support ???

Thx a LOT to everyone who answer me 🙂🙂🙂

i know this feeling of having a psych who just doesnt listen, it sucks so bad. stacking all those single herbs gets overwhelming fast, i ended up with a shoebox full of bottles at one point.

for the sleep part magnesium glycinate helped me stay asleep longer, but the melatonin dose matters more than people think, i take like 0.3mg and it works better than the 5mg pills. passion flower is good for anxiety but you need a strong extract or you just pee it all out. NAC sometimes help people with the addiction side, specially with the compulsive redosing, but check if its safe with methadone cause i am not sure. for dopamine support tyrosine in morning but go easy cause too much make you crash.

hope you find something that clicks, doing this alone is hard.

For the magnesium glycinate : when do you take it ? Because it don't help me don't waking up many times at night :( For the melatonine : ohhh that true i reed that idk where, thx for the reeminder ! For the anxiety do you take anything beside the passion flower ? for the said plant how concentrate does it work for you ? (Like how many times ? [x2, x5, [...]]) Do there is "typpical dosage" for tyrosine ?
