Nootropics Thread

What's a safe canadian site?

I have heard microdosing lsd is great but not in a position to atm.

Why modafinil?

Is it just a matter of doing research on benefits and doing a stack?

Get some 200mg Modafinil from India. That stuff gives me 10+ hours of super solid energy.

They just announced, another team will take over.

High dose thiamine alternating with sulbutiamine is incredibly effective for me. And sells on Amazon.

Did anyone else take modafinil (the sun pharma generic stuff) and now, a few years later you get daily headaches and your MRI shows you have a pituitary adenoma?

Should get you started.

Best "nootropics" for productivity are in my experience phenylpiracetam and modafinil.

What is wrong with you people? Have you ever tried to work with even microdoses of this shit? No matter how low you go, psychedelics are way too unpredictable to be used this way, and phenibut actually prevents you from stressing just enough to focus properly, and has withdrawals from hell. These things have no place in a work environment.

OP, I wouldn't go with anything stronger than Modafinil as far as pharms go, and standard light nootropics if you're into that. This is the maximum that is sustainable over the long term, and then again only for some people. These things can help you a bit, but they won't give you an insane edge if that's what you think. No drugs will. No current ones anyway. It's good that you want to do your research, make sure that you know what you're getting into with anything you might chose to take, and remember that if you fuck up and it's a serious job, this shit will follow you for a long time, so unless you're working from home and have a flexible schedule, better safe than sorry.

Lmao, like he said phenibut's pretty great but not a nootropic at all, in high doses it's pretty much a party drug, a pretty good one too.

lsd microdoses are the way to go, 10-20micrograms every third day and you are golden

Thanks will check it out.

I appreciate your thought out response will definitely be doing due diligence.

What will I be looking at when it comes to modafinil in a work environment and any other special considerations?

What do you want to know?

bruh have you ever even tried a psychedlic? fucking boomer retard

im on 10mg of ritalin

pretty good aside from sweats and jaw hurting

I'm sure I have tried more types than you know, and I'm well aware that they're not to be taken lightly. If you have a shit job, do whatever, but if you have a real career you don't want to gamble it by going to work high you retard.

Microdosing doesn't make you have crazy trips. Look into that.

Microdosing shrooms give subperceptual effects that will most likely enhance your workflow. Don't dismiss it before you even tried it.

Stay away from phenibut it is absolute rubbish.

Just if there is anything out there that would boost creativity, problem solving, logical thinking etc... and if they are cycled.

Interesting. Bump.

dexamphetamine my australian friends

Burning your dopamine receptors is no joke. That shit is like a fish trap, once you get in it becomes very hard to get out. There are no free rides in life my friend (except LINK), eventually you will pay the price.

Wouldn't only hard drugs burn your dopamine receptors.
I would think the main thing would be heart problems.

I've experimented with microdosing a various substances during my time off, and I know I'm not functional on any of them, not nearly enough to do my job anyway. Other people may react differently, but going to work high in any way is playing with fire. Psychedelics can be great if they're taken seriously, but keep them for your time off. Going to work high isn't a good time.

As for relaxants and benzo-like drugs like Phenibut, they're really counterproductive if you're doing any kind of mentally challenging work. They make you too relax and you can't focus properly.

Adderall/ritalin *can* be useful, but there is a very real risk of burning out. I get that they're prescribed for ADHD, but in most cases, their use is not sustainable. You tend to become a bit more unstable with time if you abuse them, so they really need to be no more than once in a while, if they're used at all.

There are very real risks. It's not DARE fud, it's common sense. If you have a professional job, you want to be fully there and stable. Modafinil might be fine, but even that is a bit for me personally, and I while I'd say it's fine for personal project, I wouldn't go to my actual job while on it. The only thing I take is coffee and sometimes some racetams, because the rest is just not sustainable.

Mate do you know anything about drugs??? Dopamine agonists and seratonin???

No, all dopaminergic drugs can burn your dopamine receptors. For heart problems, it's more of an issue for drugs like cocaine which have some numbing properties as well, which makes them cardiotoxic to various degrees (I'm not an expert in pharmacology, so another user can correct me). But of course, all uppers speed up your heart rate, so sure that can cause sure that can cause some cardio issues too I guess.

Good ole dexys
might as well be on fuckin ice, dexys true and welly fucked me up but ay got through uni with high marks

I take modafinil frequently because I have "shift work disorder". It keeps me awake and productive, but it's not life changing. A lot of time it makes me autismo if I don't reel it in by wasting my focus on fine details (for better or worse). I also take MK-677 every day for the gainz and quality of life boost. Currently looking into getting on TRT.

I've taken most nootropics under the sun (except microdosing, that's next). I have a few grams of NSI 189 that I might try if ever get the courage. However, the best "nootropic" is exercising and getting a full nights sleep.

Enjoy dying early

Dexies in one way or another IS Ice, you moron.

>TRT
That seems actually be the best thing for anyone who wants a true edge, while being relatively safe. When I reach that age I might look into it.

>the best "nootropic" is exercising and getting a full nights sleep
Agreed.

Hi, Neuroscience Grad here.
The one I studied extensively was coded Glyx-13 and now named Rapastinel. It was developed by Naurex and then handed over to Allergan when Naurex purchased the company. I believe Allergan is now working on a new version of the compound that is easier to administer.

Rapastinel is a fast acting antidepressant (20 mins) that lasts for up to two weeks and is FDA fasttracked. The only problem is that administration is typically thru IV because it's a polypeptide. (oral ingestion breaks the drug down) There was some talk about doing a nasal spray, not sure how that turned out. I do know that the "next generation" of this drug is already in development and rapastinel itself hasn't actually hit any markets yet. There are ways to purchase testing quantities though..

Adderall is also neurotoxic, albeit way less than meth for example. The problem is that users often get used to a certain dose which deregulates their dopamine receptors, this happens even faster if the user excessively watches porn or does any other activity that releases unnatural amounts of dopamine (gaming for example, or making insane crypto gains). The users then increase their dose which makes it more neurotoxic.

As for the heart problems, it's a stimulant which raises your blood pressure and heartrate so if you have a poor condition or already have high blood pressure due to stress or you have plaque in your arteries you are at extra risk for serious heart problems.

I forgot to mention that this drug is a partial NMDA receptor agonist which is why it has a nootropic effect. It sped learning in animal models by incredible amounts. It likely has a similar effect on humans because we operate on NMDA receptor for learning as well.

Experimented with a bunch of different stuff for years.

My "safe" daily stack:
Alpha GPC, Fish Oil, Krill Oil, ALCAR

When u need a kick:
Modafinal

More experimental:
NA Semax, Noopept

At your own risk:
P21

its called MICROdosing, not low dosing.
you don't get a pronounced effect like you are describing. It feels like taking a B vitamin, or a LOW dose of caffeine. If you aren't in tune with yourself enough you'll probably just take too much thinking it isn't working.

I used to work 12 hours (two jobs) straight with one half hour break, and a few ug's of lsd made that shit both easy and fun.

Cool thing too is you only need to do it a few times a week and that carries over to the rest.
That and it costs PENNIES per day.

I'm ignorant as hell about these things, but it's great that they're working on antidepressants that work on NMDA receptors to replace traditional SSRIs if this can have the same antidepressant effect as ketamine without the side effects.

Good for you, but I wouldn't take the risk at work.
