I feel that Carnitine has potential
Unfortunately the two forms that you mentioned don't work well for me.........

l-Carnitine=Cheap-felt good, but too mild...

Acetyl-l-carnitine-stronger & obviously more active, but also somewhat unpleasant-a bit to Acytl-choliney (if that is a word)

There are other forms; I think one might be PropionylCarnite or some such.
But they are much more expensive!

 

for me very important for sustaining stimulants

otherwise, its as if my brain is unprepared, not propped up and often just sputters and goes crazy; i end up juggling side-effects and even more benzo use. i am serious about this, my most normal, unhectic and simply robusty focused stimulant moments have been with adderall + ALC.

i think this impression i have is due to acetyl-l-carnitine's protective and boosting effect on mitochondrial function of dopaminergic neurons. (my conjecture based on what i have read) sorry my expressing is getting messier.

iirc the actyl group just improves absorbtion, and is cleaved before it gets to any active use
