Hello everyone, I am new to the nootropics. I am a bit overwhelmed, and hope you can help. First, a brief history about me. I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, OCD, and depression as a child, and was on Prozac before the age of 10. I am now 22, and have been on some kind of med since then, ranging from antidepressants to benzos to stimulants. Right now I have weaned myself down to only 100mg of Luvox per day, and I am trying to get off of that, but I get in very dark moods without it. I have also tried amino acid therapy and neurofeedback, which proved minimally effective, though I am still doing neurofeedback.
Despite my anhedonia, anxiety, and obsessions, I am perhaps most distressed by a deficit I learned about only recently which makes it impossible for me to visualize mental images when I am awake. It is virtually impossible to find much information about this condition online, though I have read that it is a symptom of dyscalculia, or a learning disability in math. I am a talented singer, but I had to drop out of my studies at a conservatory because I could not visualize the music or perform on the theory exams. My question then is, which nootropic has proven most effective for you in increasing visualization ability, if any? Thanks!
