Havent tried much honestly. Tried cannibal genius and it was good at first but then i seemed to build a tolerance to it very quickly. Was thinking about modafanil for a minute but that seems like it would be a bad road to go down too. Cannibal genius is the only nootropic ive tried and dont even remember whats in it lol would have to search it
yeah in your case I 100% would stay away from prescription and the like types of drugs.
things like noopept, racetams, l-theanine, phenibut, bacopa, ashwaghanda, huperzine-a would all be some things that you could try (some even mix and match, and potentially add stims as needed/desired to make a nice little blend).
I'm not the expert on noots specifically, but if you wanna learn more there's lots of guys here we can get in to chat about them (i'd personally like to learn more too ha)
