I tried many -racetams and my brain just doesn’t like them even at the smallest dosages. I feel huge brain fog to the point where it’s not safe to drive and I can’t speak without sounding mentally challenged. Noopept worked once (extreme mental clarity and able to remember how to go back home without GPS even if I have zero sense of directions) and then it gave me the same crazy brain fog of racetams. Same with too much caffeine. I just go into overdrive and crash miserable 2 hours later. Only sleeping through the night removes that. Same with Modafinil even if it REALLY kept me awake. Not sure wtf is with my brain. L-theanine meh. Very subtle to the point where I’m not sure it does anything. I tried Rodiola Rosea once and it made me feel great (and a bit manic). Never worked again after that. Ashwaghanda is probably the only nootropic that gave me the desired effect (adaptogen) but still a slight brain fog. This is a normal side effect though. Melatonin helps too to fall asleep. ALCAR works pretty well, but very mild. Alpha GPC was a huge help in lifting my brain fog but the effects kind of faded after a few weeks.
Then after a few years experimenting with all this crap, I realized I might have had ADHD. I got an official diagnosis and was prescribed Adderall. And oh. My. God. This changed my life. Literally. At a measly 5mg XR every day I overcame mild depression, never get distracted at work anymore, got a huge promotion and feel overall more gratified about everything in life.
Interestingly, Vyvanse has the same effect on me as racetams at the smallest dosage (even having the content of 1/4 of a 10mg cap). So weird since my brain responds so well to Adderall.
Did you get also the weird side effects I got?
Nothing over the counter (supplements) will be as effective as a controlled substance (Adderall).
That said, in my biased personal experience, nootropics are a bunch of hooey.
I personally like adderall better. I agree with A1, but different strokes for different folks. You can see how it works for you.
I haven't ever tried them but I Have always been curious. I am commenting to folllow because I am curious about the responses of the people who have tried them.
Modafinil is ok. Not comparable to vyvanse or adderall but I take it at like 4am and it tides me over a couple hours before an rx. Helps avoid a stimulant crash too early in the day.
I haven't tried it yet. Is it a similar with Adderall? My doctor told me that if something is working fine for you don't attempt changing it because your body will try to adapt again to the substance of the medicine.
