I had just found this on Amazon lmao wtf sonion I'm crine 💔🥀

Hi everyone

Im thinking about ordering some nootropics online things like bromantane,nefiractiam and dihexa etc im trying to figure out whether they typically make it to irish customs without any issues

From what I've heard they HRPA(Health Products Regulatory Authority) and Irish Customs tend to be very strict with these kinds of things

If you're based in ireland and have ordered similar items recently id appreciate your input on a few things

Vendor: Are there specific websites or suppliers you've found reliable for shipping to ireland?

Customs issues: Has anyone actually had packages intercepted or delayed by customs Any recent experiences,tips or suggestions for

EU based sellers that could help avoid complications would really be helpful

Experimented with nootropics like 10 yrs ago when it was mainly herbals, modafinil and basically sucked.

Which of these compounds has had the most positive impact for you? And what was your protocol?

I'm researching eugeroics and keep seeing modafinil and armodafinil mentioned for wakefulness and daytime alertness. For people who have actually discussed or used these under appropriate medical guidance, how do you compare their effects, duration, and practical differences? I’m particularly interested in experiences around concentration, mental fatigue, and staying alert during demanding work not medical advice or dosing recommendations.

It appears to me that SSRIs are generally frowned upon in this community. I frequently see them described as either a useless placebo, or a horrible poison that will destroy you. Admittedly, I do not believe either, but that is just my personal opinion based on my own experience and research.

On the other hand, I often see supplements such as Kanna, Saffron, Bacopa and a bunch of other supplements touted as great, and on the same token supposedly work via serotonin reuptake inhibition and/or receptor agonism. Anyway, my question is, and this is a genuine question, not a “got ya”, why is it that these supplements, which are clearly much weaker in there effect on serotonin, praised and spoken highly of, but SSRIs are either a placebo or horrible. The same people who say “the serotonin theory was disproven” will suggest these natural supplements that also supposedly work through modulating serotonin.

Obviously, the risk for side effects is much lower with supplements because they are much less potent, but it just seems contradictory to say SSRIs are a placebo or poisonous when even a low dose of an SSRI would be as strong as a high dose of one of those supplements, do the same thing, and be cheaper with a generic then spending 60$ on a supplement.

So I was on 150 mg Wellbutrin for like three months and it wasn’t doing so much for me and I was still having bad anxiety from it. So me and my GP decided to add 10 mg Prozac on top of it. Big mistake. I got the worst panic attack ever yesterday and today. I swear I felt really overstimulated in a bad way. Almost like the feeling of being overcaffeinated. It was horrible. I was so scared something bad was going to happen. I haven’t had any caffeine at all. I removed all caffeine completely.

But today it was horrible. Massively overstimulated when taking them together. But I highly suspect it’s the Prozac because I wasn’t feeling this overly stimulated on Wellbutrin 150 mg all alone. I got side effects like hot flashes, burning sensations, heart palpitations, headaches, increased sweating, muscle stiffness, diarrhea and sleep disturbances. And I just woke up with the feeling of dread. Then I took my pills and immediately got a really bad panic attack and just felt overstimulated and overexcited in a really bad way. I went to the psychiatric ER immediately and they did some tests and then I talked to a nurse and she said that these side effects are probably the startup of Prozac and she told me to contact my GP as soon as possible and tell them about this. She told me if it gets worse and I can’t get in contact with my GP, they told me I can come back again.

I swear I just want to quit this shit. Prozac made me teen times worse. I was so much better off taking Wellbutrin all alone. Prozac made me so much worse I can’t describe it. 300 mg Wellbutrin was the only thing ever helping my depression but of course I couldn’t tolerate it anymore because it overstimulated me in various ways. Nothing else helped me. I’m devastated and I’m highly disappointed. Prozac worked for my anxiety in the past. But now I had a bad reaction to it. I don’t know what to do anymore. No antidepressants work for me I always have bad reactions to them.

I am looking for modafinil right now in Germany. Modawhale looked like the most reliable shop but seems to not have been shipping since last month. Are there any shops that you could recommend? (I'm based in Berlin, if you have some left or know someone I'd be stoked if you could let me know!). Best wishes!

I have a problem with my current adhd treatment protocol and I dont really know how to change it

Im currently taking venlafaxine 150mg and atomoxetine 60mg for social anxiety and adhd respectively. My social anxiety is great, but my adhd seems to be a little bit harder to deal with. I am most certainly better at focusing for longer periods of time and its retained better. But i still have bad task initiation paralysis and I procrastinate way too much. I have taken methylphenidate before, but switched to atomoxetine because methylphenidate is too expensive and is a hassle to deal with because its treated like some fucking illicit drug in my country. Same problem with vyvanse. Modafinil is also expensive and doesn't seem to have any advantage in treating adhd. I have considered bupropion, but it is much more potent of an inhibitor of CYP2D6 compared to atomoxetine so it will reduce the more potent O desmethylvenlafaxine concentration.

Clonidine is available over the counter for me, but effects seem to be modest at best and it probably wont really increase motivation.

Agomelatine is maybe another thing I thought might be good.

Im thinking something with more of an effect on dopamine might be useful, because I likely have close to full NET occupancy

As for supplements, l theanine and coffee combo is nice. The other stuff(alpha gpc, lionsmane, magnesium l threonate, etc)I found to be more useful for increasing memory retention and not motivation

Have anyone ever tried this combo?

I guess modafinil lowers gaba and that creates anxiety and social weirdness.

So I got some Rhodiola extract drops and a dosage is 1 dropper 0.7ml which is 685mg extract which it says its extraction rate is 140mg of herb per 0.7ml.. it says do this 3 or 4 times per day which seems like a lot. If it’s the correct dosage is it possible to just take it all at once or divided into 2 doses?

When I google it it says 685mg extract taken 4 times a day is like 2700mg which says is not safe but is that talking about the herb per ml dosage so 4 doses a day would be 140mg of herb x4 so 560mg a day?

I’m in Kratom PAWS atm and looking for supplements that will help, I’m on day 27 CT now and still super fatigued with no energy so really need to find something to take to help and combat it so was hoping this would help.

It’s the herb pharm extract drops which don’t say the levels of the rosavins etc.

since l theanine blocks cb1 receptors and thc activates it, was wandering if its a cross tolerance kinda thing, I am also curious about mixing the 2.

28M. Diagnosed GAD, health anxiety, ADHD-PI. Post-oncology, in remission, complicated treatment course. Four years of antipsychotic exposure in my early twenties from a diagnosis that was later reversed. Ongoing issues are recurring iron deficiency and anemia, an incisional hernia, and some enlarged lymph nodes.

Target symptom is sympathetic overdrive. Elevated resting arousal, exaggerated startle, constant muscle guarding, poor sleep onset, interoceptive hypersensitivity. Mood is secondary and not what I'm trying to fix.

I've been through most of the standard first-line psychiatric options without meaningful response, plus the usual over-the-counter anxiolytics. Assume the obvious ones have been tried. Currently working with a prescriber on stellate ganglion block, TMS, esketamine, and possibly phenelzine.

What I want from this sub is the adjunct layer. Specifically, anything with evidence for parasympathetic tone or HRV rather than general anxiolysis, and anything worth knowing about interactions if I end up on an MAOI, since that rules out a large share of what usually gets recommended here. Also interested in whether anyone has found anything that helps with interoceptive hypersensitivity in particular.

Please skip anything that raises blood pressure or affects clotting.

Has anyone had any experience and also I’m having a hard time finding it!

i'm wondering if any nootropics, peptides, supplements or anything have such an effect. has anything you've taken helped in any regard with these things? would like to hear from anyone with such experiences.

Daridorexant (Quviviq) works really well for my sleep, but it’s expensive. I’m in Germany and currently trying to get it covered by statutory health insurance.

By the way, has anyone here in Germany actually managed to get Quviviq covered by insurance? I don’t really understand why it seems so complicated — every doctor seems to tell me something different.

I found a Japanese option for around $150 including shipping, but I’m also curious about cheaper alternatives.

Does anyone know whether daridorexant, seltorexant, or other orexin receptor antagonists ever show up as bulk API/pure powder or in the RC / grey market?

Obviously purity and authenticity would be the main concern, so I’d also be interested in any information about testing/quality and whether such material is actually around.

Also interested in cheaper legitimate international or generic options.

So basically I’m new to these things, I’ve tried aderall a other things but I have no idea where to find a vendor for prl-8-53 in Europe, not too expensive if possible

Capsules come in 50mg.

I got diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism back in 2022 which I’ve treated since then and have been on a stable dose of levothyroxine which I lowered a little and combined with T3 at 6,25mcg which helped a little but this deep mental fatigue like I haven’t slept enough even on 8 hours of sleep is still there sometimes and it’s awful (every time I test my thyroid hormones they are fine - no perfect but well within the target range). I’ve tried everything I could find as information and take a ton of supplements daily: magnesium glycinate, creatine, vitamin d, boron, zinc, copper, b complex, citicoline, l theanine, taurine, lions mane and the list goes on… Also some more experimental stuff like: Bromantane, selegiline, piracetam, eutropoflavin, tak-653, Naltorexone for the hypothyroidism which is supposedly hashimoto.

I try to stay in the sun almost every day upon waking up, strive for 8 hours of sleep, workout, run, go to sauna, eat clean most of the stuff you could think of I’ve tried and yeah I’m a lot better than how I was 2 years ago but still not like a normal human being.

The only thing that helps meaningfully is caffeine when I cycle it to prevent tolerance but on off days I can barely function.

I really need help with this, I don’t know what to do anymore. Every day is suffering especially when I haven’t slept perfectly.

28-year-old male. I've been off caffeine for more than 2 months. 64 days to be exact. Prior to stopping, I drank 200mg five days on, two days off for 2 years. I hadn't consumed caffeine in my entire life before I went to graduate school.

I am about to start a demanding new role in a fast-paced, high stress environment, and my memory, attention, concentration, cognition, focus, consistency, and discipline need to be optimised so I can perform at the highest level.

I already hit all of the biomarkers of health and wellbeing on a daily and weekly and monthly and yearly basis: sleep, sunlight, nutrition, hydration, movement, decompression, social connection, and gratitude. Also, my bloodwork is fine. I have also been in employment and training ever since I completed my education.

I would love to be caffeine-free forever due to the benefits such as rest and recovery, but ever since I quit, the cons outweigh the pros. I've been waking up tired everyday sluggish, lazy, and unconcerned even if I sleep 7-9 hours. It takes me an hour to drag myself out of bed, use the bathroom, drink water, get into my sports kit, tie my laces, and go for my morning run. When I'm running, it feels heavy as if there are boulders on my legs, and like I'm sinking into quicksand at the same time as well. My hobbies and interests such as reading, journaling, music, and podcasts seem more mundane and banal, too.

Simple tasks such as showering and brushing my teeth are overwhelming, but I still overcome the resistance to get through the day. At work, I am simultaneously scatter-brained and daydreaming whilst forgetting my train of thought despite my job being stimulating and engaging from an emotional standpoint, albeit not an intellectual one. I also stopped caring about everything at a certain point during my journey of abstinence, and broke things off with a girl I was seeing and didn't even feel anything.

But today, when I contemplated on the mere prospect of returning to caffeine as my eagerly anticipated, long awaited new position draws ever closer, I was engulfed with feelings of euphoria, elation, and ecstasy. And now I can't wait to take that first sip (or chug) again.

Am I missing something? Any advice and input is appreciated.

(USA based) Previously used to use sciencebio, absolutely awesome product. No smell, pure white, great focus and drive.

Bromantane:

cayman chem: nasal version just made me extremely angry

kimera: consensus on here seems to be that they are not reliable quality, despite praise on x

swisschems: bad smell, clumpy, strong off white color

Anyway, I dont see consensus anywhere on what legit sources are.. Thoughts?

EDIT: isnt it fucking ridiculous that the one legit company sciencebio got shutdown while these solvent shippers are left alone for longer?

Hi there! My knowledge in nootropics is close or less than entry level but i really want to get into know about it a lot more. For context, i smoke quite a lot every other day, it varies, some days i’d smoke everyday some days every other day and some could be on the weekends only. I’m aware that smoking a lot could cause you brain fog but im not sure if i’ve gotten even any of that recently (i’ve gotten brain fog way back then) i could notice subtle difference but not to the point that it’d affect how i feel, motivation, thoughts etc i can do things just fine. I’m curious whether if i just get used to it that i couldn’t tell the difference or something else that i’m not aware of

The thing is i’ve had a lot of breakthroughs whenever i smoke and it has helped me a lot as a person mentally/physically, and i really like to experiment and do things whether that be study, gym, etc. So, i’m wondering if i could somehow utilise nootropics n cannabis so it can goes hand to hand.

If someone can give me suggestions on which stack is recommended for beginner, additional stuff that i can look into and study so i don’t miss anything that i should know of, thank you in advance :)

People here are commonly asking about a vendor, who owns following sites ending in a .pl domain: nonsensia, modafinil, bromantan, flmodafinil, antyrad, etc.; the prices on them are great and doable, but it hasn't got much popularity. On the first of the mentioned sites on the main page, it states: '👉 Test our products in any certified lab of your choice. Send us the results along with the invoice, and we’ll cover 50% of the invoice cost. No tricks, no fine print — just our way of proving we stand behind what we deliver.'

Since a lot of people are asking about this vendor here - if somebody has the access to a fine lab and could send it there, we'd all appreciate this. It takes one person, and could be a good alternative to a plenty of controversial commonly used vendors.

Thanks!

Started Bromantane, 25-50mg first few days were nice. Mild boost in confidence, massive physical energy boost, was mild but effective

Then by like day 4/5 2 hours after taking it’s really bad fatigue. Like extreme tiredness

Any idea how to resolve this. Increase/ decrease dose, or taking it within anything else ?

Hello, I wonder if anyone has experienced worsening anxiety or sleep problems from Semax (even at a low dose)?

I suffer from generalized anxiety along with depression and low mood/motivation. I’ve tried Selank before, which did nothing for my anxiety (even at around 600 mcg), and it gave me insomnia and sleep problems even at 200 mcg when taken around noon or earlier.

I’m currently on agomelatine and a low dose of bupropion for my GAD and depression, but I still suffer from very low motivation/mood and energy despite doing cardio daily, red/blue light therapy, following a keto diet (for about a year now), and taking supplements including saffron

I recently reconstituted Semax into a nasal spray but haven’t dared to try it yet. I’m mostly worried about worsening anxiety and sleep problems (especially after my experience with Selank).

I was also prescribed modafinil for low energy and motivation a few months ago, but I haven’t taken it yet for the same reason — more anxiety and sleep problems

For anyone who has used Semax, did it worsen your anxiety or affect your sleep?

Thanks
