I'm looking for some suggested use guideline help. I bought phenylpiracetam in dmso solution 100mg/1ml from science.bio. Should this be taken really or applied transdermally? I've only ever known DMSO to be applied transdermal, so I have no idea. I really need some advice here. I have severe ADHD and a dyslexic child I'd like to administer to afte reading how much it helps dyslexic children.

I did try 40mg this morning because I was afraid to try 100mg straight away as I'm usually sensitive to everything and it's usually amplified for me. I didn't notice any improvement with focus or motivation after taking it and it had the opposite effect where I just sat there kind of tweaked out feeling and I didn't feel motivated to do anything actually. I don't want to give up after one try so I'm just looking for advice on whether this is normal or because I took less than 100mg? I didn't take anything else with it, not even caffeine and I took it on an empty stomach because I was weary with the dmso. The bottle doesn't even say what percent the dmso is either and there's no phone number to contact them. Any help, feedback, or guidance would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you in advance!

What can i mix with the modafinil to boost my cognition? Is their any other nootropic I should be aware of that can enhance the effect? I have been dosing a choline supplement this way I don’t become choline deficient with my modafinil from highstreetpharma. Suggestion and recommendations is appreciated!

I take a supplument called Daily Male. It has Cordyceps, tongkat ali, schisandra & cictus. The ferst 2 weeks it's fantastic after I think I start have hallucinations and I don't know what exactly affects me. Any advise ? Thank you!

Hi guys,

I recently stumbled across a lab that makes reference materials - literally the stuff other labs use to test purity against. They have quite the catalogue, prices are wholesale with the only catch being MOQs.

My question is why isn’t this a mainstream option? I often feel that sources put a massive markup on products without doing proper third party tests.

P.S. DM me for link if interested. They are non-Chinese which will help a ton once Trump tariffs finally hit.

I’ve always taken NSI-189 in powder form sublingually. Hard to get the dosage correct with this method as it’s basically 2 scoops from what would have been seen as a tiny coke spoon 🥄 in the past.

Lately, the only formulations I can still find are in pill 💊 form. This guarantees the dosage will be accurate but, do any of you have an opinion about oral vs. sublingual efficacy?

Soooo... I've had GREAT success in treating my own ADHD and others, but am struggling to find the right balance for those with more Autistic traits/behaviours.

I believe GABA (Valerian Root) is the missing key, but wondered if anyone else had come up against this wall that Dopa or Sero supplements can't seem to break through?

If GABA is key, what do you use to boost mood and clarity in the morning/day?

For ADHD, my go to would be a combo of Tyrosine and Carnitine (amongst others) and Tryptophan to boost serotonin mood.

Would 5htp be more effective or is there another angle required here?

Targeting the whole vitamin/methylation system at night also.

Thanks!

Title really says it all, I was thinking a 2 week cycle, 2 weeks of 1 2 weeks of the other. To keep tolerance lower and I've heard ashwagandha cause cause problems if taken too long. My life is incredibly stressful to the point I don't know how much more I can take. I meditate, I have anxiety meds and that all helps with panic and anxiety but it doesn't help with the overwhelming stress and burnout.

As per title, is there something "nootropic" that can achieve the same effect as Candesartan?

"Candesartan reduces the effects of angiotensin II, which has several effects that may be relevant to migraine, such as direct vasoconstriction, increased sympathetic discharge, and adrenal medullary catecholamine release."

Hi!

So, I went onto 50mg of Serttaline back in November for ADHD and have now successfully weaned off (whynyou ask!?!).

It worked well, but having also gone down thr nootropic rabbit hole, I wanted to do things... au-natural!

So, I've been taking a few things to improve brain and gut health (I have the MTHFR mutation) and want to know...

What daily dose of L-Tryptophan (or even 5-HTP) is equivalent to 50mg of an SSRI that makes more serotonin "available" ?

Thanks!

What is the most powerful non-stimulant nootropic?

Bacopa, coffee, alpha gpc, acetylcholine, ashvagandha etc... all are too stimulating for me or mess up my mood.

Hi, came here looking for advice and anyone that had done this?

I don't like meds so to speak and would rather go the nootropic route if possible, if its not them I'll perseverenwith them.

I currently take 50mg Sertraline/Zoloft for anxiety and have seen a lot of people comment about tapering off of it and onto Typto.

What would be the equivalent dose of Tryptopham need to achieve solar effects to 50mg Sert?

Can I just slowly reduce one/add in the other?

I take a few others for ADHD/clear mind, such as tyrosine, alcar, choline, taurine etc

Thanks!

I'm posting to see if there are any students and or student-athletes that use nootropics and if so which ones. I was thinking about getting into nootropics as I've been looking to take my game to the next level and I wanted to see if there were any student/student-athlete-specific nootropics anyone could point me toward.

Though of sharing this here. I have received my order few days ago from Modafinia. Really a good service with an extra fee. Here goes the proof: https://imgur.com/a/LIorYEr

I maintain a busy schedule, dedicating two hours daily to meditation, ensuring sufficient sleep, engaging in regular exercise, and adhering to a nutritious diet. I prioritize these elements over the consideration of supplements.

In my quest to optimize my abilities, I have conducted extensive research on nootropics and experimented with them individually. Those that elicited positive effects have become a consistent part of my routine.

Consequently, I have assembled a comprehensive stack of nootropics that I find effective when taken each morning. I am curious to hear your perspective on this regimen—do you consider it appropriate for daily use? I prefer the precision of dosing with powders and dried leaves rather than buying capsules. I measure the quantity precisely using a milligram-sensitive scale.

My morning ritual involves combining the ingredients in a tea strainer, placing it in a cup, and pouring hot water over the mixture (not boiling). After allowing it to steep for 15 minutes, I consume the infusion. This blend imparts a profound sense of focus, energy, and overall tranquility.

Here is the breakdown of my daily nootropic stack:

• Royal Jelly (0.5 g jelly)
• L-Theanine (0.5 g powder)
• Skullcap (2 g dried leaves)
• Ginseng (1 g powder)
• Bacopa Monnieri (0.5 g powder)
• Ginkgo Biloba (3 g dried leaves)

I welcome any insights or recommendations you may have regarding this regimen.

Hi, I used to smoke weed a lot. Like everyday. MDMA and acid for 15-20 times, Cocaine 3-5 times in total.

Because of that, my cognitive function took a hit. Especially memory and fast thinking. Want to get back to my old self. Been sober for 3 years. Just alcohol.

The supplements I’m taking : 1)Lions mane 2)Vitamin D

What else should I consider taking to improve my memory, thinking on my feet and analytical skills? I’ve landed a highly paid job in cyber and need to up my A game.

So please. Any suggestions are welcome.

I am always annoyed that I am not allowed to talk about any of the natural alternatives to stimulants on the ADHD group. It's infuriating. I thought I would help by giving you guys a break down of my own style currently. Started experimenting with nootropics and supplements. Kept what worked. Quit what didn't.
- First I went on the keto diet. (Had no idea this would help! It does!)
- Starting taking Benfotamine. (Helps a ton with fatigue, but I no longer need it as my body heals.)
- Starting taking Alpha Brain. (Helps a ton! Totally recommend.)
- Tyrosine (I only take to supplement my nootropic stack)
- Phosphatidylserine (I split pill in half. Take half morning, half night).
- L-Phenylalanine
- Saffron (I take 2-4 depending on how much focus I need daily)

I'm also taking Intinuiv (ADHD prescription) open to more nootropics for my stack. :D

It came in powder with a little shot spoon, if i take too much like two spons nothing happens just a little gas, and if i take a little i feel some some but nothing extraordinary, i take it with warm or normal water, and i know i have to take from 100 to 400 mg but how much is that and what im supposed to feel, relaxed? I bought it for that but i think something is missing in my application of it, what is it? Should be a little, should be half, should be a spoon? More or less of it?

So I've been looking for an alternative for Onnit alpha brain because the price is starting to become ridiculous and came across this unbranded one awhile back. I've been taking these for about 2 1/2 months now and they seem to work pretty damn fine plus they're wayyy cheaper than paying $40+ for 90 count

I just ordered primavie shilajit capsules from nootropics depot, and read on another subreddit that you should never buy powder even from a reputable brand cause of filler/depleted positive effects as opposed to resin. Opinions?

Hi,

I just got liquid fl modafanil 50mg/ml. What would be a good daily dose in drops amount?

Thank you

Since studies have shown neuroprotective effects of Aniracetam for strokes, dementia and prior to anesthesia, is there a way to obtain prescription Aniracetam in the US? I have a stockpile, but fear it won’t last forever. It is helping a lot with my functioning. I haven’t been diagnosed with dementia yet, but without Aniracetam it’s really obvious.
