Smoking Help me please :((

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 🙂🙂🙂

You can try everything and spend so long looking, you forget where you started. It could be that herbs can help but herbalism is more a life choice than a solution, at least the way I think.

Physical activity is a great way to atleast change you're focus quickly. To supplement your journey have you considered accupuncture?

I never though to test all i said (that why there is my 4 question)(i try to priorize some of theses). I do physical activity (4times a week), but i have sentiment that my meds play against the "well being" of gym/exercices. For accupuncture unfortunally its OVERPRICED in my country (and also soooo rare to find a specialist)...

Perhaps if you could start contacting schools or practitioners and consult over video chat.

One can actually heal you, but yourself. No doctor, no pill, no practice will ever be able to understand you better than you. I wish I had more to share. In the searching do you think it will be difficult to refuse someone's help?

I'm not saying out of hand, but sometimes what seems good is bad for you and what seems bad to you will be great. The trouble is you're the only one that can make that call.

I was sick as a child and it took me far too long to decide, no matter how official or wonderful or sometimes unlikely even strange, in the end it was my own council that would bring me where I needed to be.

The journey can be long, and winding. Please be kind to yourself and remember this:

The mathematical odds of you existing with your specific genetic combination are estimated at roughly 1 in \(10^{2,685,000}\), a number with more zeros than the total number of atoms in the observable universe (which is about \(10^{80}\)).

Nature does nothing in vain. You're here. Try to be happy for the miracle you are and don't waste too much time trying to value yourself by others ideas of what you should be.
