So Schisandra is the next adaptogen/herb I am trying out. Just took some today. So far I think I noticed more clarity and energy. I actually think it relieved my headache some. Of course this could all be placebo.
Nice thing about Schisandra is that it's lignands help to increase glutathione, assisting in liver protection/detoxification. I really need this considering the drugs and supplements that I take(and all the major binge drinking in the not so distant past).
I will be reporting back on my experience with Schisandra. In the meantime, here are a few links of discussions, studies, and reviews.

Sheesh, that's a lot of studies and articles. Sorry if I overwhelmingly posted too many. I just kept finding more and more and felt the need to link it.
