Thats's actually good - suggests you haven't been getting sufficient sleep and your body is resetting.

I thought UMP masks the symptoms of sleep-debt. Isn't that what it does for you? has you operating at near normal efficiency even when you didn't get enough sleep?

Also, does it matter exactly where under the tongue I take it sublinguily? Do some parts of the mouth absorb UMP better than others?

By the way, in terms of hours, I have been getting enough sleep. How deep it is I don't know, but I do dream quite a lot. I do wake up several times though

Give yourself a couple of weeks to settle in.
Uridine in the morning will 'extend the wall' for poor sleep. Uridine at night will trigger a better sleeping pattern. Combined will allow you uridine levels to slowly rise to an effective level.

Anywhere under the tongue - it absorbs through the mucous membranes. Try not to swallow it for a few minutes.

Is there any information about how anti-histamines react with Uridine? I've been taking an anti-histamine almost every night for the past 3 weeks because of allergies.

By the way a month or so back I had a lab-test for plasma histamine levels (I hadn't taken any anti-histamine in the week prior to the test) and the result was "<1.5 ng/mL". The test was done by quest diagnostics.

The mercury and fish oil hype is overblown. You're more likely getting more mercury from buying untested compounds on ebay.

Any possible interactions between uridine and melatonin?

[workplay]

any updates?

It's been a month since I've been on the uridine protocol with 75mg sub morning and night. It has definitely improved alertness/focus. As for mood/motivation, it has improved to some extent too. I am hoping for greater improvement in the next couple of months. I have not added choline yet.

I should add that I don't notice any improvement in anhedonia yet

Or maybe there's been some improvement, not sure

I am taking buprenorphine for chronic pain.  I'm concerned about a potential interaction with Uridine.  Can you any of you science types help me figure out if there is an interaction?  Google search was of no help.  Thanks!

Im bipolar 2 with significant anxiety and have been using s/l UMP , omega3 and Vitamins for a week now.

 

Have found some positive benefits.

 

I start the day with 40mg UMP s/l but i find that to concentrate with the same focus on an 8 hour exam, I need to redose UMP 20mg every 3 hours or so.

 

Am i doing something wrong?

 

Maybe ALCAR is going to help. What dose do i start with?

 

I remember getting increased anxiety when using ALCAR alone at 500mg twice daily dosing long time back.

 

What else other than ALCAR can i add to this stack of UMP, omega-3 and multivitamins to improve my anxiety and gain focus?

 

 

Hope someone will reply. thanks

I was doubtful of uridine making a difference but I introduced it too my stack which includes: Mega-dose fish oil, Choline, alcar, creatine, lions mane, bacopa, Piracetam, coluracetam, good sleep, and lots of exercise (this stack worked great and before the addition of Uridine I was content to stick with these supps....) But wonders never cease it actually has noticeably made a difference. In the two weeks time I've taken uridine: my focus is better, I feel more motivated, and my memory is noticeably improved... Needless to say I'm quite please and impressed..
