Stimulants (ranging from the prescription variety to those in my morning cup of coffee) can be a tricky thing.
On one hand, I find them essential to managing my day-to-day life. On the other, downsides like mood swings, poor sleep, and afternoon crashes made me feel like I had to choose between being productive and feeling like myself.
When a friend of mine told me she started taking Stasis—a supplement packed with clinically researched vitamins, adaptogens, and antioxidants made specifically to help stimulant users manage stimulant downsides—I knew I had to give it a shot.
Here’s how the Stasis Day & Night Set has helped me get the most out of my stimulants with fewer downsides:
From “Afternoon Crash” to “Soft Landing”
Picture this: You wake up and take your daily Vyvanse or Adderall to get the gears turning. You get a surge of dopamine, which helps for a while, but then the inevitable crash sets in.
By the time your day’s halfway over, you’ve hit a wall and your remaining tasks (not to mention any social engagements) start to feel insurmountable. You cancel your evening plans with friends. By the time you get home, you don’t want to chat with or be around anyone.
If you’re on any type of stimulant, you probably know this cycle well, just like I used to.
This was me every day when I took my stimulant alone—but since introducing the Stasis Day & Night Set into my routine, I feel like I have my social life back.
Stasis is formulated to smooth out the dopamine rollercoaster while still allowing your stimulant to be effective. With mood-boosting ingredients like saffron and focus-promoting L-Theanine, I feel like the energy I get from my stimulants is cleaner and lasts longer because of Stasis.
No More Jitters
I love the clarity that my stimulants give me, but the jitters always left me uncomfortable and self-conscious.
When I interviewed people on the street for my social media, I sometimes noticed them glancing at my hands if they started to shake—not exactly the kind of thing you want to explain to a stranger.
Anyone who depends on stimulants knows how uncomfortable the jitters can be, but thankfully my Stasis daytime supplement includes ingredients like ashwagandha that can help regulate cortisol levels and promote calm. Since taking Stasis, I’ve been nearly jitter-free without kicking stimulants to the curb.
I’m Finally Getting Restful Sleep
Anyone who takes a stimulant is familiar with doom scrolling—laying in bed until 3 AM scrolling TikTok with no end in sight. The worst part about sleepless nights is dread of how you’ll feel the next day—with good reason: being fatigued and groggy all day is nothing to look forward to.
Thankfully, the Stasis Nighttime supplement contains Vitamin B6, Venetron, and magnesium to promote restful sleep, a sense of calm, and overall cognitive health.
Stasis has been a game-changer for my sleep. I feel like I’m finally able to drift off comfortably and wake up feeling rested, which has done wonders in boosting my productivity and mood the next day.
Mood Swings: Gone
Because of stimulants, I would sometimes feel like I was experiencing a different emotion every minute—especially when I was tired or stressed. I’d get impatient and angry at the tiniest things, like waiting in line at Starbucks. After a while, I noticed that mood swings, even little ones, were negatively affecting my relationships and quality of life.
But because the Stasis includes clinically studied ingredients—like skullcap and chamomile—to promote a balanced mood, I feel even-keeled throughout the day.
Now that I’m no longer wrestling with as many ups and downs or angry inner dialogue, I feel like I can show up better for my friends, family, and professional connections.
Life After Stasis
When I share that I rely on stimulants to be the best, most productive version of myself, I know I’m not alone—but when the downsides dampen their benefits, it’s time to consider a different routine.
I’ve been using the Stasis Day & Night Set regularly for a while now and, personally, I’ll never use stimulants without Stasis again.
