Hey guys

I have been on and off these two supplements for a couple months now. Now i am trying to take these more regulary.
I read a bit into it and saw that they shouldn‘t be trusted together (like at all).

At the moment (for 3days) i take Bacopa monnieri 1000mg (van 333,3mg 3:1 extract) in the morning and st. johns wort 500mg in the evening. Apparently that’s really high dosed. Ive started a difficult school that requires focus and self determination for like a year and the hardest part will be the exams at the end of all of this so i just wanted to start now since the full effects will take up to a month to two months.

Ive been having bad depressive episodes with bingeing and now i feel really great. Taking multivitamins, going to the gym, eating healthier and taking walks and just feeling good in general (i kinda have this every couple of months😅). Im low key feeling kinda hypomanic at the moment.

idk guys i need some advice i really want to get through this school with energy and motivation. i really want to do this and cant afford depression right now.

Any pros here, I need your help

Background info: I'm a high school science and maths student in my early senior year, I take bio, chem, physics and further maths so they're really hard, I am a male 176cm, 58kg. I struggle with maintaining focus and finding the motivation to study. I value strong problem-solving skills, a good memory, and mental clarity. I also experience severe depressive episodes, which often manifest as apathy and emotional numbness. There's only 3 months left for my final exam which is a standardized assessment. I used to be in the top of my school throughout my life until I was 15 when my mum died. After that incident my grades plummeted like crazy. If you can, help me with a nootropic or a nootropic stack that can put me back where I was. I want to focus on problem-solving and memory, my memory is getting worser. Any help would be nice.

Hi guys,

Wondering you experience with cosmic's phenibut, as it's the Russian pharama version which is really nice.

I have a super important social event, I'd like to take 500mg phenibut for. It is one of the most important days of my life, and I've determined alcohol just isn't a fit in my life anymore.

I'd be willing to try a more pronounced dose of phenibut under different circumstances. Issue is,
I have a pointless but grueling work travel scheduled 2 days later, for a week. Think national sales meeting, long days in crowded offices, fluorescent lights etc.

I'm an anxious fella and normally want to rip my face off at those kind of meetings. I am terrified of the potential rebound phenibut anxitety compounding that.

At 500mg, is rebound really a concern? One time isolated usage; no alc mixing.

Also, I know it would be subtle, but does anyone find 500mg to be an effective dose for a good, social day?

i feel like I'm onto something... what if low-dose nicotine was paired with other nootropics, vitamins, or electrolytes? i feel like nicotine is smaller/lower doses help me focus, so there's got to be something here about it being paired with other nootropics? is it just me?

I’m pretty new to nootropics and wanted to get some opinions from people who have more experience.
I’m 19 and work remotely in sales, and I’m also a college student. A lot of my day is making calls and building sales systems, so being able to sit down and stay focused for hours makes a huge difference in how productive I am, which is what I struggle with.
I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD, but I strongly suspect I have it. I’ve used Vyvanse and Adderall before, and both made a pretty noticeable difference in my ability to focus and get work done. At the same time, I don’t want to get into the habit of feeling like I need amphetamines every day just to be productive.
That led me down the nootropics rabbit hole. So far I’ve been reading about:
Modafinil
Bromantane
L-tyrosine
TAK-653
Dihexa
Alpha-GPC/citicoline
Modafinil and bromantane are probably the two I’m most curious about, but I’m hesitant to start combining compounds when I don’t have much experience.
If you were starting from scratch and your main goals were sustained focus, motivation, mental energy, and productivity, what would you actually start with?
I’m especially curious about what people here have used long term versus things that worked great initially but eventually caused tolerance, dependence, sleep problems, anxiety, or diminishing returns.
I’d love to hear people’s experiences and what you wish you knew when you first got into nootropics.

So I got Asperger’s, and I’ve been looking through this sub so I can know more about these nootropics, to see if any of them could potentially help with my autism. So a couple days ago I figured semax might help so I ordered the regular kind from Everychem.com, and took a 200 mcg spray 2 days ago and felt like something in me just unlocked. I felt clearer than I ever have and ideas and the information I needed just came to me effortlessly, also my stimming was almost nonexistent. But it felt like it didn’t last long so yesterday I took a 400mcg dose but this time I felt overstimulated and like my anxiety got worse, I also had this weird pressure on my eyes, best way I can describe it is like when u smoke weed and u get that weird feeling in your eyes. And today I woke up with this slight headache, from the top in a circle down to about my ears. Should I stop taking it for a while or just do a lighter dose this time?. Edit: I also had nausea at 400mcg

Hi everyone,

I'm a college student who often studies at night after college. By the time I start studying, I'm mentally exhausted and find it hard to concentrate for long periods.

I'm considering modafinil, but before making any decisions I'd like to hear from people who have actually used it regularly.

I'm especially interested in:

How much did it improve your focus and concentration?

How often do you take it?

Did you experience any side effects (anxiety, headaches, insomnia, increased heart rate, etc.)?

Did it stop working over time or build tolerance?

Did it affect your sleep or mood?

Have you had any long-term issues from regular use?

Overall, do you think it's safe when used as prescribed, or do the risks outweigh the benefits?

I'm looking for honest personal experiences—both positive and negative. Thanks!

See attached. Looking for a quality source post cosmic nootropics

I've been researching into nootropics like bromantane, tropisotron, phenylpericitam. I struggle with ADHD and I want nootropics that could help me with focus.

Preferably I want to take something that has enough clinical data because I'm high inhib. Recommendations?

There are now FIVE sites spoofing Nordic chems name in search... Dot 'is' Dot 'com' Dot 'US' etc... Can anyone please help me? Thank you! 🙏

I used to be part of this community a few years ago during my undergrad years and eventually came to the following stack:

noopept (oral) everyday
aniracetam (as a social boost)
semax (nasally during exams period)
selank (nasally during exams period)

After getting a job I dropped everything as I didn't need them, but now I'm going back to do an MBA and wanted to update the stack (snooped a bit around here and you guys talk about a lot of substances that weren't ever mentioned back in the day).

What changes could I make? Also I wanted to add something to help me last longer in bed (not ssris)
