Re B15 - yep, I've heard that the FDA banned it (been legal to sell in the 70s, though). It is still widely used in northern Europe (where I am) and in Russia/FSU - if you wanted to buy any, I guess you would have to go through Ebay or find yourself a decent German website that will do a euro sale. There is a lot of very sciency stuff out there on B15, but its significance for athletes narrows down to being an anabolic process stimulant. It forces your body into recovery state, speeding up the recovery process.
Can you read any other languages? I speak a few, there are a ton of Russian publications on overtraining, which the Ruskis also rather unimaginatively call 'a sporting disease'. The belief out there seems to be that when a serious bout of overtraining occurs it is your CNS that needs to be treated first. To me that makes sense - overtraining gets you depressed, obsessive-compulsive and what have you. The body has to clam down to recover and needs to be helped into it. Drugs prescribed for overtraining include 'nootropics' - what Piracetam (Nootropil) is. Again, it seems to be a banned drug in the US for some daft reason, so you'd have to look for alternative supply routes. Having said this, I have not actually got around to taking a lot of Piracetam - my symptoms improved on B15 alone. I am not usually keen on any sort of dietary supplements/stimulants and prefer to eat healthy instead. So yep, a month on B15 did it for me. But if you are really nuked, you may want to consider some WADA-approved heavy medical artillery.
