The citrulline, arginine + potassium is a recent thing I'm trying out. I'm getting good results from it in the form of lower anxiety. I had an experience with potassium from a trip to Mexico.
They have this drink there called electrolit and I remember it making me feel super relaxed, to the point where flying in turbulence didn't bother me anymore (I'm a nervous flyer). The only thing that stood out was its potassium content clocking in at 7% d/v in one bottle...really hard to get those kinds of numbers from even a potassium supplement, which come in at 1% per pill in the US. I guess it's because overdosing on it can potentially be fatal and slow down your heart too much? But for someone taking a stimulant it might be really good.
Then the citrulline/arginine is meant to help w/ vasodilation, which I think is hampered by the drugs and presents itself in the form of cold extremities. It's a lot of stuff to take just to be able to function but for me the difference is night and day. Off of it, I've been expelled from every school I've ever attended, on it, I've published half a dozen scientific papers and made a career for myself, so I'm never stopping.
Long term though, my goals are to eliminate or reduce my dosage and supplements by training to get my resting heart rate down a few points. It's what I'm working on with my personal trainer and so far it's been working.
