What are your favorite single ingredient stimulants? (Besides Caffeine)

Eria Jarensis (N-Phenethyl Dimethylamine)
Synephrine
Alpha Yohimbine (real Alpha Yohimbine)
Phenethylamine HCI
 
If we're talking non-stimulant mental energy, a couple I'd like to add to my above list would be:

Polygala XT
Sabroxy XT
Choline Citrate

Reading on that can be confusing bc you’ll find some places say it will inhibit things that may lead to an increase in them and in other places you’ll read that it may decrease them.

In real world results, I can’t feel that it has any particular effect on them.

Here’s a thread with an in depth write up and feedback:

Polygala tenuifolia is commonly used for a wide variety of nootropic benefits and common user feedback includes what many users describe as a unique mentally stimulating yet calming sensation.

Polygala is unique in that it helps to improve cognitive function by helping to optimize neurotransmitter levels while also increasing neuroplasticity. These combined...

I'm trying N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine right now and give it a big thumbs up. NALT for short.

I am excluding phentermine, ephedrine, etc. because I assume you are looking for something new/novel.

Is it just me or does it seem like Ephedrine has more than doubled in price over the past year? Used to get it shipped to the UK from Canada but I won’t be anymore! I won’t ever be getting my favourite stack (ECA) again

Nahh, not here in the US. I feel like a box of Bronkaid has cost around ~$13 for years at this point.
 
+1 for some good ol' ephedrine
Bronkaid's a staple in my house
The people who work at the Walgreens next door think I have the worst asthma ever
 
I used to go to Canada and get straight epehdrine hcl in the supplement shops.

It's been a couple years since my last trip, but I've heard that they are now cracking down on it being available like it was.

It is similar to phenibut in the sense it helps gaba levels. Similarity stops there. Here is a screen shot from a nootropic site

Hmm... very intersting I had no idea ...... Imagine until now I was thinking it was exactly the same as
phenibut with different mechanism...... You use it as standalone or you stack it with something else
and which is your daily dossage? what exactly must i expect because as you said you like it very
much as stimulant. I will give it a try from Swissherbal.eu very soon
THANKS IN ADVANCE
 
Not really stims or supplements so forgive me mods- but the peptides Dihexa and Tesofensine almost deserve to be on this list. Dihexa is more cerebral but mild pumps and energy from it as well. Good for work, being productive or pre wrokout.

Tesofensine is an adrenaline reuptake inhibitor with a half life of over a week!!! Reminds me of Alpha Yohimbine in that it produces more adrenaline and that adrenaline sticks around. Shines as a appetite suppressant but if you dont like being wired 24/7 youll hate it. I took one TF pill and for the next week I couldn't eat or sleep without major effort. Couldnt drink coffee or any other stims without it feeling way more intense. Avoided things like action movies, video games, arguments, or even negative thoughts as I would feel the adrenaline dump. Didnt stray from my diet once, killed my workouts and was very productive. Crazy peptide.

Good stuff for students going into their finals week
Can imagine the kids pulling 7 all-nighters in a row
Good stuff lol
 
Get some basic smelling salt ampules…
Crush 1 when ready and put in an empty vitamin container, with flip lid if possible.

If this doesn’t amp you up enough for big working sets,….nothing will.

Best of all, no crash, and no side effects of from stims.

Honestly it was terrible, haha. Hence why I only took one when it was "prescribed" for daily use. Like a ride you couldn't get off.
That said, I could see people loving it who don't mind being adrenalized 24/7, and it definitely worked- just too well.
 
Strangely enough, methylfolate - when taking midday, has a stiumilating effect on me too. It makes me complete kinda like if GABA would cross the BBB (which it doesnt). Ephedrine is good too I guess (30mg).. Some people mention yohimbine but I never felt much on it. I think you gain tolerence after first time use. Ephedrine works for everyday use (and is felt) but not yohimbine.

Used to be ephedrine caffeine and A Yohimbine. But I have high blood pressure now.
 
Ephedrine has been a standard staple and used it most competition preps , I've done fifteen

Dmaa novel and can spice things up or could even use it in place of ephedrine or eod

4f mph like this one on day of competition. Maybe use it here or there or once in a while during last month of prep

Yohimbine, crushes appetite , esp shortly after an glp. The negative effects are almost unbearable. Gagging, hiccups, spitting up , cold sweats, sweating. It may activates mast cells h2 , which zantac takes care of

Alpha yohimbine used it a lot contest preps. Been a second since I used it

I only like to do stimulates pre competition,last four weeks, currently. I used to do them eight weeks out, and even twelve, but now toward the very end due to not effecting dopamine levels excessively
 
Anybody here that's been taking sulbuthiamine? I took 300mg a week ago (first time) and it was like yohimbine. Heart palpitations for 12 hrs.

I used to use it sometimes but haven't in years bc I like Eria a lot better.

I've never had anything near that happen with legit Sulbutiamine and never heard of that with it. Different people respond different to different things and if its a legit brand, I would say that that's just a personal response, but if its a brand you're not familiar with, that would raise some question marks for me bc it shouldn't be anywhere near that potent.

Yes. I'm gonna try it again soon., today actually. What you say is right on point cuz I bought 300mg of benfothiamine from iherb (US made). And took in the morning with my activated B's. (Mthfr).. It gave a slight subtle boost in energy and drive. It felt much better than the 50mg of thiamine HCl coming just from the b complex.

Then a friend recommended sulbuthiamine from rawpowders.com (eu based site) and since it wasn't available on iherb and was only a legal nootropica in France I ordered from them.
I took it with my activated B's and about 4 hours later, after lunch time my heart started beating until bed time. I became too alert. Topp strong. I had to take more glycine, magnesium, theanine and 5htp than I ever been, just to put myself into sleep. Now is it possible sulbuthiamine messes with dopamine receptors like methylfolate does? Because I can handle 5-mthfl fine
 
I re-tested 300mg sulbuthiamine. Now with no extra 5-MTFL and not getting as hyped or ramped up in heart beat. A little elevated heart rate (I can feel it some but it's not as bad as first time. Now feels like 5mg yohimbuine... So maybe it was a 1st time use and just my body reacting to it? I feel like sulbuthiamine isn't something you would wanna do every day because it feels just like phenylpirectam?. 300-600mg benfo probably more safe which gave me no palpitations

But regular thiamine HCl is useless as a stimulate. Since you pee out the extra

Next time I will try sulbuthiamine with seeking health's MF b complex. The one that has none methylated B9 and b12 (folinic acid + adenosyl-hydroxo cobalamin)

I would still be very cautious because Sulbutiamine should be nothing like that at all.

Legit Sulbutiamine, unless you are super sensitive to it or having a weird reaction to it, is more like a mental energy than a physical energy type feeling.

Ok. Will try one more time. I still have tons of energy and its 7pm and dark so idk. It's both mental and physical hehe. I take it in the am with my breakfest with the b complex and other things like pregnelone-dhea (I thought pregnelone was the brain booster). I'm also drinking like 3 cups of coffee. Could maybe be what's boosting it so much. I'll look if I can order straight from France in blisters next time. Real Pharma grade but that would be 200mg
 
I've heard the bronkaid/ephedrine for years. I've never been daring enough to get it from a pharmacist. What does that process look like? (I'm in the US)

you just ask for it, show your ID, sign, and pay
they only keep it behind the counter bc it's possible to use it to make meth

Well. Do you take it with activated B's or high dose methylfolate like I am? Or just as a stand alone ? I found signs of increased heart rate on reddit - several user reports (one which had it on prescription) so I'll keep testing.. I think it messes with dopamine and I can get overmethylation signs sometimes by too much methylfolate (which spikes serotonin and dopamine, but I do boost with other methyl donors too such as tmg..maybe sulbuthiamine it gets too much. I'll try take with magnesium glycine and niacin. Or I probably need to take this a few hours after my activated b's. Needs more testing. I found out people generally recommend taking with magnesium to counteract this problem with sub
