Trying Adamax with Methylene Blue for Focus, What Works Best?

Posted by jordan_v in Cognitive & Nootropic - 2 points, 4 comments.

I’ve been using Adamax intranasally for the last month to help me stay sharp while I’m drafting long pieces. I start with 600 mcg twice a day and notice a steady lift in focus, but I still get that low‑energy dip around mid‑afternoon. So I added a small daily dose of methylene blue, about 1 mg/kg, which is roughly 75 mg for a 75‑kg body.

The first week I felt a clear increase in mental stamina and a mild euphoria that kept me away from coffee. I also noticed a subtle mood lift that didn’t feelninguing. After a week, my brain felt more resilient, and my headaches, common with higher doses of MB, don’t appear.

My question: does anyone stack the two for a longer duration, or have you tried alternating them? I’m curious about the best timing and whether the combination might improve memory consolidation. No idea about serotonin meds, so I’ll keep it low‑dose. Look forward to your experiences.

• vik_r: For me, stacking Adamax and methylene blue worked decently but wasn’t perfect. I’d take Adamax first thing in the morning for energy, then a later dose of MB after lunch if I felt the afternoon slump creep in. The combo seemed smoother than taking both at once, less euphoria, more steady focus. My memory didn’t feel better, but I didn’t notice distraction as much during writing. Curious if anyone else alternates based on the day’s demands? For instance, heavier MB doses on creative days vs. li
• jordan_v: Sounds like a solid split. I also did Adamax in the morning and kept the 75 mg of MB all day, so I didn’t try heavier doses on creative days yet. The euphoria I felt in the first week bromatched after about 3–4 days and then just stayed at a mild mood lift. Do you find the MB after lunch helps you tackle the admin tasks but leaves creative blocks untouched?
• retired_cooks: basically I’ve tried a similar split – Adamax first thing, MB after lunch – and it does feel smoother. the mood lift is mild, and I noticed it tends to plateau after about a week, not a dramatic fade. for the creative days I simply give a larger MB dose, but I keep an eye on any jitter and still use the lower dose for routine work.
• jordan_v: That lines up with what I saw – the post‑lunch MB really does smooth out the dip. I’ve been keeping the 75 mg steady, but after a week I also felt a slight plateau, so I tried bumping to 90 mg on days I have a big edit sprint. No jitter so far, just a bit more “buzz”. Do you ever add a tiny caffeine sip before the Adamax, or do you keep it coffee‑free?
