Which nootropics should I start with? I'm thinking of ordering a bunch off of Nootropics Depot and paying with Ether.
So far I have Phenibut (have done it in the past, god tier) Caffeine + L-Theanine Adfranil Piracetam Noopept
Now do I also add another racetam like aniracetam? Was also thinking of adding 5-htp to my order. This is also a general brain improvement thread, let me know what works for you guys? So far meditation and cold showers has helped immensely. I have also distanced myself from Caffeine and am hitting the gym consistently.
oxiracetam is better than piracetam imo. it's the same shit but with a lower dose. you should always pair racetams with a source of choline. i use alpha-gpc

Be careful with phenibut. It is a wonder drug but very addictive and tolerance builds fast. Take it more than twice per week and you are in for a world of pain.

>Phenibut effective but can cause withdrawals if you use it multiple times a week >Caffeine + L-Theanine don't know about this one >Adfranil shit tier modafinil. Less effective than adderall but causes the same amount of insomnia >Piracetam Had no noticeable effect on me. Jury is still out on this one >Noopept never heard of this one >aniracetam shittier piracetam >5-htp Not a bad one. Can help you get out of a funk

I usually go with moda on days i need to do some extra work and pair that with a caffine/theanine after lunch and i go almost the whole day.

>aniracetam >shittier piracetam that is not even close to being true. they have pretty different effects. aniracetam is pretty good, but it builds a tolerance fast and is only for occaisional use. piracetam is the opposite. you kind of have to take it daily for a while to build up the effects
only thing phenibut did to me was lower my inhibitions as if I was 2 pints in.
normal or dosage wrong?

>Phenibut 1G X2
Nigga you crazy. Enjoy the withdrawal when you start building tolerance. I suggest you slowly taper that shit out of your stack. Take phenibut once a week at the MOST.

99% Of the substances posted is restricted here and the other 1% is extremely expensive
All the stimulation fucks with me, and phenibut helps.
Taking it out of my stack is going to hurt.

Replace it with valerian root, it’s gabagenic

I took Piracetam and Alpha GPC and my writing became so good one of my comments was selected as a "New York Times" pick and got a gold ribbon next to it. I wasted a lot of time arguing with people on reddit, but my arguments became so fluid on Piracetam and GPC that people stopped replying to my messages and some sort of even begged for mercy.
Phenibut is perfect for autistic fucks but its not really a nootropic. It has a very long duration, usually lasting all day. I take it once every 3-4 days with no tolerance issues. It completely obliterates social anxiety better than any pharmaceutical drug.
But the real gains, Anons, come from long term memory supplements like Lions Mane and Bacopa Monnieri. They take 4-12 weeks to show effect, but are like fertilizer for your brain. My motivation to learn things is amazing right now. Currently learning Russian for absolutely no reason, and I've finished two books in the last week and a half.

I prefer phenylpiracetam to either regular piracetam or noopept. Honeslty wouldn't go too far with the weird and unstudied shit though.
John Cooper
muh nigga. bacopa is the shit. how does lion's mane compare?
normal, it's just a blood-brain barrier crossable GABA so it should just relax you
David Jackson
Unfortunately, I started taking them at the same time so I can't really compare them. Both supplements have large scientific backing so I'm not worried that either is a dud. I just know that my "mental energy" and desire to learn things is through the roof. It's hard to put it any other way.
I’ve taken phenibut long term way worse than I should have due to sever sleep issues. I can say it was certainly ever addictive as I never craved it or felt I needed it but you definitely should not take that more than 2 days in a row and not more than 3 times a week and you need to take a week or 2 off between taking it because that shit causes depression and other wonky shit. Made me feel like 8 hours of sleep off 3 hours though.
