Dihexa oral 10mg for six weeks, my experience so far

I have been running Dihexa oral at 10mg daily for about six weeks now and honestly I have mixed feelings about it. The first two weeks I noticed almost nothing, maybe slightly more vivid dreams but that could just be from changing my evening routine around the same time.

Around week three is when things got interesting. I was studying for a certification exam and honestly the way I was retaining information felt different, like things were sticking on the first read instead of needing three passes. Hard to say if that was Dihexa or just motivation though. I did not get the headaches some people report but I had one week where I felt pretty overstimulated and had trouble falling asleep, so I dropped to every other day for a bit and that seemed to help.

What I would change honestly is starting at every other day from the beginning instead of daily. The 12 hour half-life means it builds up and I think I underestimated that. Also I wish I had done some kind of baseline cognitive testing before starting because right now I am just going on feeling, and feeling is not reliable for this kind of thing.

Anyone else here tried Dihexa solo rather than as part of that big stack? Curious whether your timeline was similar or if I was just slow to notice anything.
