I agree with you on this, the shift is usually subtle. The only supplement that made a dramatic change in my life is the trace mineral Lithium Orotate. It did more for my mood than any antidepressant and completely negated ANY desire to drink alcohol or use cannabis.Within 3 days I became a new person!
I take Horbaach brand. 5mg per day does it for me, however one can take up to 20 mg. It was life changing for me, I'll never stop taking it, in fact I'm slowly weaning myself off my psych meds!
Look into L-Theanine as well. I just use it as a sleep aid but some have found it to be able to replace their ADHD medicine and help with other mental issues as the root cause was a deficiency in L-Theanine.
Also you'll see it included in energy drinks and pre-workouts as when combined with caffeine the L-Theanine cancels out the "jitters" while not reducing the energy boost from the caffeine. It's why cup of espresso makes me take off like a dragster while a can of Reign gives me calm energy for hours despite having the same amounts of caffeine.
Do you mind sharing your preferred source for L-Theanine? Bulk powder? How are you taking it? (With/without food, just before bed, in coffee?) My beloved had a brain tumor removed and has had sleep problems and jitters since. Lions mane has helped with stutters and vocabulary but these other issues persist. Thanks in advance.
I've also taken supplements for over thirty years, and the only one that made an almost immediate difference was B1 (Thiamin). I had extreme pain from the Sciatic nerve. I couldn't walk for more than five minutes without having to stop until it subsided. I tried Chiropractic, and though it didn't help with pain, it make me more limber and just generally made me feel better. B1 though worked in about three days. I'd had the pain for five years and it was amazing to have it gone. I take 100 mg daily and I'm still pain free.

I've given L- theanine a try but it did not work for me like the Lithium Orotate. Perhaps I'll give it another try, it can't hurt. Thanks!
