Oh yeah L-Theanine is another great one, especially combined with coffee. I usually stick a 1/4 tsp scoop of powder under my tongue and let it dissolve. It kind of has a sweet/bitter taste, I like it. I find that it takes the edge off the caffeine while at the same time not making you drowsy.

my 100 pills of Modafinil r on the way m8 :-D

this is something i'd wanna get my hands on. hmmm....

been reading up on racetams and I finally decided to try piracetam as my first nootropic. But the fucked up thing as soon as I narrowed it down to Piracetam, and begin to read up on it even more, I see a bunch of threads with people complaining about Piracetam. So what is the best (in this case, I mean most widely beneficial) racetam that I should try? I also read that choline causes depressive symptoms, but all the threads recommend supplementing nootropics with choline.

I think what I am going to do is order Piracetam and supplement it with eggs and fish oil. Not a choline product directly. Tips?

Welp .. New stack I've been trying

~half hour before studying I take:
150 mg phenylpiracetam (Sublingually as skinny described)
Large coffee - black

Right after I wake up I take:
3 choline bitartrate pills
3 fish oil
3 multivitamin
50mg zinc (avoided the flu since september! Fuck yea)


The big change was me was learning to take the racetams sublingually rather than mixing with green tea/drinking. Sublingual tastes like shit, but if you can hold it under your tongue for ~5 mins its affects are much more predictable + stronger.

Couldn't get my hands on modafinil, ordered some adrafinil instead (modafinil + methyl group -- will break down in liver into free modafinil). Right now adrafinil is unregulated (legal) in both Canada and the USA -- be careful with how much/how often you use it as it can cause elevated liver enzyme levels

Be sure to share your experiences with adrafinil!

^ will do.

It was significantly cheaper in the powder form so that's what I ordered. I don't feel like spending $50 on a scale that's sensitive to the milligram -- so I'll keep guestimating with the little 0.15cc scoop they give you.

The place I ordered from is called nootropicsdepot and they have several review threads on reddit, as well as a few of the owners of the company active on reddit as well. They are located and ship from the USA, and you can pay with paypal so even if they dick you around you can get your money back.

Also ordered some caffeine and noopept.

I don't like the idea of anxiety as a side effect, which modafinil doesn't have

I've been doing 200mg of Modalert every monday-friday for the past 2 months , love it :)

only side for me is at around 2PM ( i take it at 6AM) i'll get extreemelly tired/ drowsy and will need a 20 min power nap and i'll feel like a million again

Does it help with your motivation or anything like that? Or just basic alertness?

I use it primarily for my trading , staring at quotes for 6hrs straight... just dials me right in with quick decision making + reactions! Also makes me more social later in the day

oh hai strykn, brb raiding your house for modafinil

Sidenote,

loving phenylpiracetam -- slept 4 hours last night and still feel awesome

N-Acetyl-Tyrosine is also good if you didn't get enough sleep the night before

Let me try this wizardry

For anyone interested,

my order of adrafinil from nootropicsdepot cleared customs :fullofwin:
now I wonder how well it works

Any updates?

Has anyone tried truBrain?

Sorry It's been sitting on my desk for a week, haven't had a chance to try because .. well .. I haven't had a day where I had to do anything for about a week :fullofwin:

here's a crappy photo of how it came to me:

packaging doesn't insight any confidence in the product lol, but judging from other people's reviews the reaction to it are hit and miss depending on how sensitive you are to it (your body has to metabolize it for it to become active). I'd imagine the amount of liver enzymes you have has something to do with how readily you break down the adrafinil into modafinil -- this might be a thing where the casual drinker has a better response to it; or I may be stretching my broscience too far

I wouldn't worry about the packaging; that is totally irrelevant to the product quality.

After struggling through another ADHDriffic week, I decided to order some from modup.net with bitcoin (33% discount!) so we'll see how it goes

I'm going through the modup reddit page and their CS is definitely top notch. They resent a whole bunch of orders last week with DOUBLE the amount because of a shipping/processing delay. Wow

Yeah that's what helped convince me to go with them... If something goes wrong, I am pretty sure they'll cover me

i wouldn't order modup, they send provigil and it is much weaker then Sunpharm. modalert.

I've ordered from med-pacific.net once ( best price) ... first package seized ( took like 29 days lol..) they resent for free, received the second (luckily) in about 2.5 weeks.

Citation needed ;)

Well i have both provigil and modalert right now and the Modalert is more potent... just personal experience.
