Try this, see if it works:
#1: l-tyrosine, to increase NE and DA production
#2: very low sugar diet: to see if you have an intestinal fungal infection that might be causing cytokine production that downregulated DA + NE production
#3: gluten + casein free diet: again, to see if you have an immune system reaction to these foods that is causing cytokine production that downregulatates DA + NE production.
#4: try any of those stimulants the other ppl recommend
#5: are you hydrated enough and do you get enough sleep? Either can cause "brain fog", as verified by scientific articles and my own observations.
#6: take a multivitamin for a few weeks, see how it works for you... even mild B12, folic acid, B6, iron, zinc, or magnesium deficiencies can cause brain fog-ish symptoms.
Good luck in curing yourself!! All we can do is attempt to help ourselves! That's why this forum is so great... all of our problems is like a big experiment taking place. Glad to know you're a part of it! Let us know any interesting results you come upon!
