Driving Formula?

Depending on traffic, I have a 10-12 hour drive coming up. I've done it many times before, so not that big of a deal, but I want to try to make it as "enjoyable" as possible this time. Stims and Nootropics, what would you combine for maximum feel-good alertness with no sleepiness or stim crash?

The stuff I have on hand that I think would apply are: Caffeine, Ephedrine, Hordinine, Higenamine, L-Theanine, Choline Bitartrate, Rhodiola, Ashwaghanda, Schisandra, Hup-A.

I also have time to get other stuff.

Thanks.
 
Adrifinil or modafinil. Sulbutiamine. Those are my go-tos for sleep deprivation, but Adrifinil and sulbutiamine shouldn't be used all the time. Perfect for your application.

ALCAR and tyrosine too.

Those with the stimulants on hand will be effective.
 
Stuck in a car while on caffeine/ephedrine? Man I feel sorry for your passenger(s)

LOL - that's kind of what I was thinking. Too many stimulants in this situation can be distracting and may not be ideal. I'm sure the OP knows what he can tolerate though. But that is why I suggested less stimulating options that can make one alert.

I took a few days of armodafinil, and I love the beneficial aspects of it, however I've noted a SERIOUSLY stiff/painful neck that I can't attribute to anything else. I am in a ton of pain currently, so I am staying off of it for a while...really unfortunate
 
Focus XT... not only will it give you a little energy boost (nothing that will have you ready to go run laps though ha), but it also has a few noots in it to make things more enjoyable. You could even stack on a few of the other goodies that you've already mentioned.
 
What you have on hand i think is good. I would say focus xt would be a great option.

Haha, that's true. I'd also recommend perhaps splitting whatever stims/nootropics you're taking if you're planning on driving for 10-12 hours straight. Perhaps take 1 serving of whatever (be reasonable) before driving, and then another serving about halfway through your drive. If you were planning on sleeping soon after finishing driving and think that taking stims ~6 hours before sleep would keep you up, you could just move both doses back an hour or two, with the first dose being an hour to a few hours before driving, and the second dose 5-6 hours later, a bit before the halfway point in the drive.

I hope that makes some sense.
 
phenylethylamine
thou it lasts a short time, so small regular doses maybe?
or take hordenine, should prolong the effect a little
 
Focus XT would probably be my first suggestion. I would also recommend a product containing Eria Jarensis. I always experience great mental clarity, increased mood, and clean energy with Eria which would be very beneficial for a long car ride. Ephedrine while driving would make me jumpy haha. I wouldn't advise stacking it with what you mentioned, but I would recommend trying something like Oxymax XT for the Eria content to keep you alert, focused, and happy on the trip.
 
Focus XT Caff version (so long as it doesn't cause stomach upset)

Phenly P would be fun...but can only be used 2-3x per week.

Any combination of: Hup-A + CDP + ALCAR + caff would be a nice light pick me up

El1xir would be a solid option as well. Great long lasting focus without too much energy/stim..
