I'd rather anons say which ones actually help and which ones do next to nothing (placebo shit backed by some studies and contradicted by other studies)

except they don't include l-theanine in that section. That wikipedia page is shit. Also the term nootropic isn't just used for direct cognitive functioning enhancement, it includes stuff like phenibut and kratom and psychedelics. More 'mind hacks' than concentration helpers.

>L-Theanine – A 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis found that concurrent caffeine and L-theanine use has synergistic psychoactive effects that promote alertness, attention, and task switching;[46] these effects are most pronounced during the first hour post-dose.[46] However, the European Food Safety Authority reports that when L-theanine is used by itself (i.e. without caffeine) there is insufficient information to determine if positive health effects exist.[47]

modafinil
I take 100mg as soon as I wake up, and another 100mg at lunchtime.
So good for me.

I've been taking Adderall for years now, 25mg every morning.
This thread lead me to look up other "nootropics", and I honestly didn't know the risks involved with Adderall, and will look into switching
Brayden Robinson
L-theanine is best used as a chaser for caffeine.
Angel Lewis
I capped myself some theanine + noopept.
I take one with a large strong coffee when I start working in the morning and after lunch.
Makes me feel good.

Effective:
NSI-189 (also anti-depressant)
Modafinil (and analogues)
Caffeine
Theanine (especially in combination with caffeine)
Marginal:
Noopept
DLPA (effective for opioid withdrawal)
Didn't work:
Everything else, though tianeptine and phenibut were good anti-anxiety drugs.

I must make shit coffee then

No nootropic is going to be incredibly powerful. If you take caffeine every day you will become dependant on it and will need higher and higher doses to achieve the same effects.

Try taking 2g of Phenibut HCL and telling me that again.

where did you get NSI-189? Sounds really sketchy, like research chemicals manufactured in unsupervised Chink factory sketchy

None of them work, it's a scam akin to the vitamin industry except even more snake oil.

Like most drugs, nootropics seem extraordinary upon the first few doses, however tolerance and even dependency can be developed from any of them
Jordan Smith
You sound embarrassingly unfamiliar with pharmacology
David Thomas
I highly doubt user is getting it from anywhere reputable
