Have any of you used nootropics? If so, which ones and how effective were they?
From my experience, the only ones that have real efficacy are:
1) Coffee + L-Theanine combination, but even this experiences diminishing returns after a number of uses. Best to only use this when you really need to focus, but still want to avoid amphetamines like adderall.
2) Modafinil: This was actually recommended by a professor I once had. Check this article out:
3) 8 hours of sleep, sunlight in the morning, omega 3, zinc, magnesium, ginkgo biloba, vitamin d supplements every day. If you have the willpower to do this for 30 days straight, you will feel like a godlike superhuman, albeit difficult.
Zig Forums, share with me any nootropic use or experiences you have.
>you will feel like a godlike superhuman, albeit difficult. Since when is it difficult to take supplements every day? I think your baseline is fucked and your "superhuman" means "doing the bare minimum"

>Coffee + L-Theanine combination So what like Tea and Coffee at the same time?

I bought literally everything Alex Jones cause why the fuck not and since I took it all at once I have no idea what was actually the game changer. Based on other users Nascent Iodine gave me my dreams back and Vitamin Mineral Fusion made my hunger go to normal human levels. DNA force was just a bonus. Don't use their energy mix I just drink Pina Colada Bang cause I like that shit and it makes my heart wanna pop if I have two which is right where I wanna be.

Modafinal aint no fucking joke. Dont ever take after midday if you want sleep that night. 16hours perfect awake mind after taking one for me. every time. creepy govt pill
Juan Allen
All bullshit and/or dangerous, why do amerimutts do that to themselves? Can't you just eat normal food and live normal lives instead?
Tyler Edwards
I use flmodafinil on my work days; about 2-3 days a week. Works wonders.
Matthew Collins
Modafinil was good at keeping me awake, but I never found it to make smarter or more focused in any way.

Exercise is the best. If you lift, do cardio too. If you only do cardio, do lifting too. Otherwise: lion's mane, mushroom blends with reishi, sunflower lecithin, meditation, rhodiola. Avoid all forms of gluten, sugar, alcohol. With these I've been able to make freakishly quick progress in various skills.
Easton Gutierrez
everything but the third option is, given the supplements have been thoroughly tested for lead and other bullshit
Jayden Gonzalez
D3, k2, mag, omega3, zinc, quercetin, selenium
Bromantane, mexidol
Phenibut for fun

Anyone ever try no fap? I read a few books on semen retention and I’m on my third day. I just get really horny around 10am to 12pm and have to hide my boners at work.
Checkd but you should really look at air quality and water quality east of LA, especially San Bernardino. Cali ain't as clean as it'd have you think. t. Heckin Beanerino
Yall retarded as fuck Lay out in the sun 45 mins a day is all you need
Chase Johnson
Since no one has mentioned it, fasting.
Easton Evans
The only way to truly do nofap is to get gf or fwb and only cum with them. All those frauds relapse when they sleep spooge after 3 months. The only important thing to garner from nofap is getting off the porn. Porn is legitimately evil dgaf if they added bitcoin and litecoin they support human trafficking, pedophilia, and ruining men everywhere but Israel.
Charles Johnson
kratom, adderall, weed, nicotine. all I need.
Adam Bennett
I recommend trying Kratom. Its a plant/leaf that is a cousin of coffee. I like the fact that its a plant and not synthetic.
Ian Gonzalez
I mix these sometimes. But find that adderall is kinda druggy. I feel like I'm on X sometimes. There is a slight comedown too. Kratom has been best for me.
Fwiw, I use all you listed
Julian Martinez
Only one minute of you point your bare asshole at the sun.

>drinking 600mg of caffeine daily You're not going to be alive much longer senpai
Joseph Gray
ZMA isn’t a nootropic just a magnesium zinc supplement but taking that shit makes me sleep way better and focus incredibly well
Grayson Murphy
I've tried pretty much every common one, most of them don't really do much at all. but my favorites are: Modafinil, Phenibut, phenylpiracetam and pramiracetam psychedelic microdoses are alright too
just take a sharpie in the pooper OP. works every time, you'll be focused and present immediately.

I take Modafinil. It doesn't do much for me. Definitely helps wake me up in the morning if I have a cup of coffee along with it, but that's about it.

>russian? Yeah it was a russian pharmaceutical, I believe it was developed as an anxiolytic or as an antispasmodic medication, a la baclofen. >and what are its effects? It's primarily an anxiolytic, but doesn't fuck up your memory like benzos, nor does it make you drowsy (some people claim it does for them, it doesn't for me). It has some supposed pro cognitive effects, but in my experience its major benefits are increased motivation and decreased anxiety. It's still addictive tho, so be careful with it (withdrawal is still a walk in the park compared to benzos). >most of these sound like adderall without the loss/coldness in fingers and toes none of them are much like adderall desu, modafinil is a decent stimulant but it doesn't have the same sort of "high" you get from amphetamines.
Yeah, this. Glad someone else feels the same way. Does literally nothing to help me focus, just keeps me slightly more awake (and restless/uneasy) throughout the day.
>Phenibut
I used to take Phenibut. It was bizarre because sometimes it made me feel awesome, kind of drunk but happy, social situations became a lot smoother. Most of the time it really did fuck all though.
