[QUOTE=NO HYPE;1033306513]Phenibut definitely works well however, it's only good on an extremely acute basis. Look into theanine, ashwagandha/rhodiola, kratom, fo-ti [polygonum multiflorum], ect.[/QUOTE]
Will do. I want something that works well so ill look into theanine.

Thoughts on a large dose of noopept? Currently using between 45-60mg spaced throughout the day which is great but Ive been reading threads about people using 90-100mg at once with great results ( for me just to try)
Obviously not for consistent use but more just to try it.

Do you have the CTD labs version? or do you have powder? I got the tablets, and the most I've tried so far is 3 tabs (30mg) spaced out during the day. The effects were a bit more noticeable, however I couldn't sleep at all. I'm thinking because I took it like right before bed (the third tab).
Going to try 4 tabs (40mg) tomorrow, 2 in the morning 2 in the afternoon. See how that works.

Theanine is great, helps me relax and wind down. Does relieve some anxiety as well. Not so much as Phenibut, but definitely a noticeable amount. Great product.

What fat source do you take with Ani on the fly? 1-2g fish oil does not do the trick for me.

[QUOTE=NO HYPE;1033298863]As an adjunct to visitations with a speech/language pathologist, I believe there's been a significant degree of success with levetiracetam in myoclonic epileptic patients presented with verbal disfluency and/or in patients with brain trauma-mediated aphasia.
In terms of an OTC approach though, pyrrolidone derivatives such as piracetam may elicit some degree of efficacy, and I can only assume that phenylpiracetam would elicit even greater effects however, that's merely speculation [and cost prohibitive]. But at least piracetam would be a less expensive option to try in combination with speech therapy.[/QUOTE]
thanks for chiming in NO HYPE.
I'll take a look at piracetam.

[QUOTE=ISurfNudeBrah;1033247953]Never experienced that with any of them. How much of each are you taking (choline, oxi, caffeine)?[/QUOTE]
oh i forgot to mention focus xt as well
im having 1 scoop of focus xt with 700mg oxiracetam and 200 - 300mg of choline not including the choline from the focus xt and then 200mg of caffeine later on pre workout

Fxt already has ~5 grams choline bitartrate, so I don't think any additional is necessary. Just an FYI.

[QUOTE=dandaman5984;1032312533]Yea I know, I tend to over-analyze. Mild OCD, I guess.
I do have a .001g scale and micro scoops on order. Shipment is screwed up though cuz they both shoulda been here Monday.[/QUOTE]
One reason i love being in the Chem Department at my uni.. Free use of .1mg scales.
Anyways, I am looking to try this Nootropic thing again. I gave it a shot a while back using piracetam, but wasn't taking choline along with it.. I hadn't done my research unfortunately. I'm pretty ADD- focus and memory are an issue, and I tend to be pretty anxious as well. I no longer take ADD medication, so I think It'd be worth while to really try this out again. I have taken Focus XT before (but was also on other stims so didnt really notice it), as well as piracetam.
Currently, I have probably 30x 800mg piracetam remaining from a tub I got a long time ago before it became scheduled. I also have some ALCAR, and just bought a bottle of 300mg Alpha-GPC capsules this morning. Recommendations on the best combination? Also considering picking up some Oxiracetam or Pramiracetam on amazon. Thinking I might start off by finishing off the Piracetam w/Alpha GPC. hmm
-
Alreadt tried now stim free focus xt and 1gram of ALCAR. That combo is so good, more than craze for focus.

Could someone tell me what is the recommended dosage for theophylline?

[QUOTE=Newbie4Life;1035016653]Could someone tell me what is the recommended dosage for theophylline?[/QUOTE]
Sorry about not getting to your pm.
Due to interindividual variables and fluctuating clearance rates, doses anywhere between 400-1600 mg can elicit significant differences in serum concentrations, so just closley monitor the effects in relation to the dose. Start @ 200 or so and work your way up till you get the desired effects.

Do I have to worry bout something when it comes to using Potassium nitrate and theophillyne and the same time?

Use them both seperately at first to determine the effects they elicit, and start the doses low. 200mg may be a good initial dose for theophylline and 300mg for PN. Most people reside around the 500-600 mark for the PN, but make sure your not prone to migraines. Aside from headaches, the other side effects with nitrates in susceptible individuals would be dizziness & nausea, ect.

Ok I'll try Theophylline first for 7 or 10 days all alone, then I'll go with PN alone for the same amount of time, after I have some idea of what works for me then I'll throw in the creatine, and other supps.

Please forgive my noobness, but I have been looking at nootropics for a while and I know that they are primarily cognition supplements. Are there any of them that directly affect the amygdala/any parts of the brain having to deal with emotions and rationalization?

Adding Phenibut to my nootropics stack. Currently taking 2g piracetam + 2g alcar in the morning. Want to add this phenibut, any suggestions on dosing to help with anxiety? Got this bottle in a promo so wanna put it to use. And should I add in choline?
-
Would l glutamine be considered to have nootropic properties? I experimented with l glutamine caps for its supposed regenerative benefits and I have found myself waking up easier in the morning even when I get six hours or less of sleep. I am thinking of pairing it with something to help focus and anxiety. Any suggestions that might be available at a well-stocked grocery store? I have been getting my l glutamine caps from Wegmans...as far as traditional nootropics are concerned, I have really only seen 5htp. Is that worth looking into?
-
So anyone get to try Forskolin + Artichoke extract?
I found absolutely no significance improvement of, well, anything. I have no idea what Tim Ferris was talking about when he was comparing this to modafinil

I've been playing with phenibut a little bit but don't really feel any effect except deeper sleep. Usual dose is 1-2 grams, but no more than 2-3 times a week. Tolerance builds quickly and I've read withdrawal is an issue. Don't need to add choline for the phenibut, but most people use a 0.5:1 or 1:1 choline:racetem combo while others don't feel it's even necessary. Play around with the dosage to see how different combinations effect you.

On a creatine(5g)/beta alanine(4g) daily stack (which I mix into a WPC shake and drink upon waking). Anyone see a problem in combining the acetyl carnitine/noopept stack into the shake?

I take alcar and noopept on an empty stomach. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I feel the effects stronger and faster than when taken near/with a meal. Just my 0.02

[QUOTE=cjwav34;1035845743]No.[/QUOTE]
So I picked up some 5htp before I checked back into this thread and so far I am impressed. Feels like I have a bit more confidence and energy. I picked up some 100Mg caps and took one. There was an initial surge I felt that wore off in about an hour, but I did feel an extra kick when one of my favorite songs came on the radio. To me it seems more than a placebo, bur time will tell.

What is good to stack with ALCAR? I've read that a choline source like Alpha GPC is a staple. I'm new to this so I don't know much, thanks.
-
for some reason i keep getting small twitches in different places after taking oxiracetam and focus xt, i lowered my choline source so the only choline im getting is from focus xt
i think its definitely the oxiracetam because i took 700mg on its own just to test if that set them off and after 40 minutes i had a small twitch near one of my cheeks
should i stop? this is the only bad side effect im noticing

if you was in my position what would you do? besides small twitches that could be anywhere from my eye to hamstring that last for about 5 second oxiracetam works very well on me
