What are some good nootropics for low mood/social anxiety? 5-htp and Noopept and my favorites so far.

oh, yeah, EGCG (from green tea extract) inhibits L-amino acid decarboxylase which is responsible for the serotonin conversion in the stomach, so you should take that if you insist on 5HTP. L-amino acid decarboxylase turns dietary L-DOPA/Tyrosine into Dopamine too, so ideally add L-Tyrosine to your stack to account for the effects of the AAAD inhibition

Modafinil baby.

Is there a way to reverse or reduce the effects of this? I don't take it daily, probably only twice or so a week.
Just take a green tea extract?

Yes, just dose it alongside EGCG/green tea extract. A little L-Tyrosine won't hurt either.
This mostly negates the downsides of 5HTP.
For low mood/social anxiety try Phenibut (habit-forming, 2x/wk max).

Been using it for about a week. Makes me feel more relaxed and give less fucks. I like it.

Ugh, no. It's potent but the crash you get from this is debilitating as fuck.
I recommend Semax, it's one of the safest nootropics out there without being useless.
Noah Sullivan
I should try that
I tried rhodiola, siberian ginseng, didn't do shit, passion flower helped a little bit, white tea helped a bit more, but I still get stressed the fuck out at my shitty job, I come home with chest pains

am i fucked?
James Ortiz
Do I need to be taking caffeine with Ephedrine if I want to get the full effects when cutting?

>"safe"

zinc is heaven. Makes you feel like a beast. Get a good quality zinc btw, preferably from your local pharmacy (if you don't live in a shitty 3rd world country that is.) Don't fret too much over the specific form. You'll read that gluconate is eg less absorbed and therefore shit but if you buy a good quality brand it takes that out of the equation and just puts on the bottle how much zinc you really get from one pill. They'll add enough zinc to get what's needed. And honestly it's just godly. Mood, skin, sex drive, loads, testosterone. All are helped with a 40mg + dose of zinc / day.

Apparently the recommended dose is like 10mg a day, according to the tub of zince I got.
Jose Lee
Is there any way to get ashwaganda in a way that doesn't have a strong herbal smell to it? I'm trying to add it to my proton shake
Owen Smith
Is ZMA an acceptable source of zinc? Or should I get straight up zinc pills?
Alexander Bailey
phenibut + phenylpiracetam + l-theanine = godmode
Kevin Ross
how much are you dosing each?
phenibut alone makes me feel great but that stack seems like it could be sick
