Hello,

As I see you take a neuro-stimulant supplement for such a long time I would request you to consult the neurologist for the same. As excessive consumption of the same may lead to severe electro neurophysiological damage over the long run. Things can do out of hands and no group of health care team will be able to provide the optimum solution.

Rather taking medicine for longer run one needs to get involved in physical exercise which helps boost the nervous system. Recent research studies suggest that exercise on a long run has a beneficial effect when compares to oral neuro stimulants.

Consider a neurologist opinion before getting locked into the medicine part.

Hope you will find some time to understand the ill effects of medicine on a longer run.

Of course having fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and also exercise will help boost your nervous system and have no side effects.

Taking neuro stimulants can lead to fatal neuro conditions like PD, Alzheimer's disease, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
