Summary
A former college football player and powerlifter described years of severe memory loss, sleeping 12 hours unless they had to work, and dragging themselves through days. They linked their problems partly to four football concussions and a past opiate addiction. TRT, B12 injections, Provigil and Adderall each helped a little, and bromantane with L-tyrosine was their go-to for getting going. They were still treating symptoms only.
