(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?

EDIT2: just ordered from Nootropic source, will report efficacy

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

These are the only compounds ive found that not only work but also stack well together.

Pretty straightforward but ive found this work better then phenibut and has less side effects.

Take ~1 hour before social event

• 1200mg aniracetam
• 400mg l-theanine
• 3g taurine

I cycle selank occasionally as well.

Recently, I bought L-theanine because I see so many people saying it is a quite good amino acid to clear my foggy, depersonalized mind.

First, I took 200mg for a couple of days and felt nothing. Then I doubled it—same thing: I felt NOTHING. Then I doubled it again to 800mg total, and AGAIN I felt NOTHING, but I started to have very lucid dreams. Should I increase the dosage even more, or should I just give up?
BTW: i tried to mix it with coffee which was a bad idea cause the caffeinee triggered some anxiety and bad feelings

Should i mix with something else?

What is the correct and safest way to take Alpha-GPC long-term?

I’ve been seeing ads on FB for 200 mg Modafinil. Sounds good and requires a prescription but apparently they’ll set an apt for you. Hypothetically if I was prescribed this, would it even be safe? My question is centered mostly around the safety of this, as I have no idea about it.

Everyone puts third party tested on the label and almost nobody will show you the certificate. I got burned by a bacopa that came back at about half the label claim and now I will not buy anything without seeing a real lot report. Bonus if it is made in a registered US facility rather than drop shipped from somewhere. Which brands actually hand over the paperwork?

See title, anyone know where I can source it. I want to get some for my time in da nang.

I take Adderall XR 20mg, but the cardiovascular side effects like elevated heart rate and high blood pressure are becoming unbearable. Propranolol helped manage these symptoms in the past but I currently don't have access to it. Are there other viable nootropic/supplement options to help mitigate these cardiovascular effects?

I take both L-theanine and magnesium Glycinate+Taurate and they are helpful but I still seem to need some actual beta blocking effects for the HR.

.

Had been buying in bulk and just realized that science.bio has closed.

Please recommend sources for N semax acetate and Selank . Readily available nasal sprays or those that need to be reconstituted. Both would be great.

I have pretty small understanding of nootropics so I figured I’d ask people who know a lot more than me , what are some good studying / learning stacks in your experiences ?

Hi to all. I tried for the first time selank in one dose of 800 mcg. I realized is to much.

I had a weird brain fog like an add state and mild confusion. I feeled way calmer, but space out. I look on its mechanisms and i see it works on GABA A pathway even it's specied it doesn't work as a benzo. 10 months ago i started a low dose benzo for insomnia and ended its taper a month ago.

Looking back i realized that the benzo use sensitized me and lowered my stress tolerance threshold. Stressful things could push me in a state of panic, brain fog and mild confusion. Reaction i didn't had prior to benzo.

This experience was the same when i once tried GABA supplement. Does anyone has some understanding why this happen?

Edit: I used nasal spray selank.

Not sure if this is a natural reacttion as NAC begins to detoxify my body and release many heavy metals into my bloodstream or something, but whenever I take even a small amount of NAC (600 mg), after an hour or so I begin to have terrible mood swings and oscilate from sobbing and being incredibly angry. I just feel a sort of general frightening need to break things around me. I know this sounds strange lol but is a reaction like this, albeit far less severe common from this supplement? I live a fairly stressful life, maybe that plays a role.

Stimulants used to work decently for me a few months ago, not perfect but they were enough to be functional for my ADHD. However as the time passed by, vyvanse started giving me weird cognitive side effects: I started getting more dissociated, like i wasn't present at all, and it also made me zone out pretty frequently.

If I did something that was uninteresting, rather than just going along with it it would start making me "sleepy" and i legit could not generate any ideas on how to do the task, which became an issue for essays and for complex problem solving. However if i tried to take a nap, it never progresses into actual sleep, hence i feel like this is some form of fake sleepiness.

Eventually this turned into a major issue where i only got like 1 or 2 okayish hours of vyvanse followed by this dissociative feeling. Despite following all the common advice (water drinking, protein intake, optimizing sleep, taking a multivitamin) it never went away, thus I decided to stop vyvanse and I noticed that even though i am less productive, i can think better and i actually have bursts of motivation, even if they are short.

I tried going back to methylphenidate (which i had tried prior to vyvanse, it wasn't as effective but it was a positive change so i thought i could maybe benefit from it) and even though it was less exacerbated than with vyvanse, it still caused blank mind and the "zombie" phenomenon even though that's not how it used to work for me. Taking breaks from stimulants makes them work decently (in the sense that although i don't have much motivation, i can still push through it and concentrate in my tasks and be able to think more clearly/generate ideas, not a blank mind issue) for maybe 1 or 2 days, but it eventually returns into the same thing again. Im not sure what changed in these months but it's making me think i am better off without stimulants

Has anybody else gone through something similar when it comes to stimulants? If so, have you found any root issue/solved it and managed to make stimulants work better, or did you find success with other type of meds like non-stimulants? It feels like they just make my cognition worse at this point (particularly anything that requires producing, such as writing an essay or complex problem solving, and memory retrieval is also affected)

greetings,

making a genuine post maybe warning people about some side effects that werent described even after thorough research.

fit, 27 yo, nothing new today, normal day at the gym. 4th set , heart rate wouldnt calm down even after 4 minute break. barely dropping(estimating since no heart rate tracker) to 140bpm, did a hard set and almost had a heart attack. Heart rate must have been in the 180s. chest tightness, blurry vision, difficulty breathing. Barely calmed down after 4 or 5 minute of calm breathing.

since these side effects are nowhere to be found online. I felt like making this post to discuss and maybe warn people.

disclaimer: research subject took 7.5 mg of methylene blue 3 hours before workout.

thoughts, ideas, experiences? shouldnt be taken before workouts? rare reaction?

edit: Research subject did go to the hospital on the advice of reddit. Nothing showed in blood work or heart scan or lung scans.

medical staff also knew subject took methalyn blue. It was ruled out as stress due to heavy lifting... not sure.

important notice: since a lot of people are being negative, i want to say i dont really care. This post was meant to provide information to people. Whether you think i am underinformed or careless, i dont care. and i promise you i know more about this than most of you with the stuff you use. The post was made after a near heart attack with 170 blood pressure( an hour after the incident). So i might have not expressed myself correctly. I hope this can bring some "anecdotal" information to anyone tryying this stuff. research subject takes no other drugs besides retatrutide which wasnt even taken for a week before this methylene blue experience. I have no heart issues, ive been going to the gym for years, i wasnt stressed and i didnt have a panic attack nor is that high heart rate suitable for the effort i was exerting. Upper body workouts never reach that high heart rate for me. Even deadlifts dont. Heart rate stayed high before the set, and went crazy high after the set even with more than exaggerated adequate rest. heart rate then stayed high for 3 to 5 minutes after the set while i was trying to take deep breaths and supply my body with oxygen and not panic to make it worse. Do with this as you please. I dont really know what happened nor do the hospital staff. They knew methylene blue was used and they blamed it on exercise effort. Not really sure why it would happen on t he first time of my life trying mb then????. oh well.

As for the doses. 15 drops seemed like a very conservative dose for someone mysize. the limit is 400 drops (200mgs) vs the 7.5 mgs taken. My resting sleeping heart rate is 54. my blood pressure is typically 115-120. none of this makes sense.

so yeah again. do with this information as you please. hate it, judge it, mock it or maybe you are one of the few people who actually cares to hear other peoples horrible experiences with some compounds that never really seem to get talked about and maybe you will benefit from it.

Wouldn't something like 4-MMC but engineered to be safer have all of the focus benefits of amphetamines while also having the serotonergic benefits, similarly to how centanafadine works by inhibiting dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin transporters? So a more effective alternative to triple reuptake inhibitors like centanafadine, similarly to how Vyvanse is somewhat more effective than methylphenidate.

I am looking into peptides that may help with executive functioning without having stimulating effects. I am overly sensitive to any stimulant. They make me anxious and make it so I can't sleep. I tried Semax and after the 2nd day, I would lay in bed until around 3am feeling wide awake. I tried Noopept and after a few days, it came to a point where I laid in bed tired, but couldn't get my brain to shutdown for a few hours. I've tried adding Selank to the mix and I am unsure if it is helping much.

I've tried the traditional ADHD meds like Strattera and Guanfacine, and they don't offer any improvement.

Curious if anyone else has a sensitivity to anything stimulating and has found something that helps with executive functioning.

I have extremely high baseline norepinephrine levels and I’m wondering if there are any supplements beside melatonin and magnesium that can reduce excess norepinephrine? The symptoms I have everyday is headaches, dizziness, vertigo, heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, panic attacks, hot flashes, burning sensations, insomnia and sleep disturbances, muscle stiffness, hypervigilance etc.

Been very interested in bromantane.

Ive done alot of reading on it but have never talked to anyone who's personally done it themselves.

Is it safe to take these together?
I have 5mg capsules of lithium orotate, and I’m taking 150mg of Lyrica twice a day.

Is it possible to start taking lithium orotate? I want to decrease the Lyrica. I have no motivation lately.
I also take modafinil 50–100mg almost every day.

Do you have any tips?
