Getting back into supplementing w/nootropics as study sessions are back in full effect. Recently bought some goodies yesterday and will be logging my experiences. Here's what we have so far:

  • Pramiracetam - 200-400 mg/ED (taken with milk)
  • Centrophenoxine - 250-500 mg/ED (taken on empty stomach)
  • Gaia Herbs Mental Alertness - two servings/ED

Invalid Link Removed

Also included in the stack will be:
  • L-Theanine - taken with caffeine
  • Yerba mate/coffee
  • Fish oil - approx. 3g EPA/DHA
  • Multi

Currently trying to keep things cost-effective but all suggestions are welcomed.
 
Update:

Currently waiting on my scale to arrive. Snagged it for roughly $10 on Amazon (DA-20 Digital Pocket Scale 0.001 G).
 
8:10am

102mg Pramiracetam w/ fish oil & milk
200mg Centrophenoxine w/juice

11:24am
200mg Pramiracetam w/ fish oil & milk
199mg Centrophenoxine w/Yerba Mate (cold)
 
approx. 1:30pm

254mg Pramiracetam w/ milk
414mg Centrophenoxine w/juice

Effects appear to be much more pronounced at these dosages.
 
7:59am
320mg Centrophenoxine w/juice

Intentionally reduced dosage to avoid interfering w/quality of Pramiracetam's effects as a result of coming across several anecdotal experiences among users who claimed the effects were less noticeable upon administration of higher dosages of choline supplementation.

Received my order of Piracetam & Noopept and weighed out the scoops they came with. The scoops measured out to approximately 8mg/1.3g for Noopept/Piracetam, respectively. As a result, the subsequent records for the Pira/Noopept doses should be observed as approximations. There is a strong possibility I will unintentionally taking a little more/less than recorded.

Sure! Why don't you provide 2-3 questions regarding the areas of the experimentation you're most interested in getting feedback on and I'd be happy to respond as informatively as possible.

How is the stack affecting your memory especially ability to recall stuff you've studied
How does it affect mood, energy and focus
why are you varying your supps so much? How do you know what's working for you?

To address your first question: Memory recall has improved drastically. I find myself speaking with greater presence and the ability to accurately recall facts and information has created somewhat of a spill-over effect into my overall confidence. My photographic memory has improved significantly; I've noticed an increase in self-control --particularly when engaged in conversations which would typically carry a strong "emotional charge". I've found myself having adopted a much more objective approach in my day-to-day discussions and this has resonated favorably with many of my peers--particularly in the work environment. My emotions tend to play a significant role in my decision-making process--which is personally not an ideal approach--and I have been able to assess situations from a cerebral perspective, if you will. Pramiracetam is arguably one of my favorite nootropics for this very reason. I've noted a significant improvement on my natural anxiety levels. I realized how calm and collect I was at the commencement of a recent panel interview with a law enforcement agency. The effects lasted for the duration of the interview--even allowing me to push through a slight hiccup during the interview where one of the panel members was surprisingly rude to me. Whereas I would typically be emotionally charged by such an approach, it actually served as greater mental fuel and motivation to excel.

I will definitely not be accepting employment with someone as rude as the aforementioned panel member as my superior.

Skipping directly to your last question, I have experimented with nootropics in the past and I had a variety of big events scheduled in the near future prior to beginning this little experiment. I was really more focused on achieving an overall improvement in cognitive function versus noting exactly which compound was producing what effect. However, after having run out of Piracetam, I am only left with Noopept, a small amount of Centrophenoxine and Pramiracetam--the latter of which I will likely save for a special occasion (e.g. interview). As you may have noticed, I am back to Square One and subjecting myself to only Noopept supplementation aside from the bulletproof-style coffee or energy drink and theanine I tend to enjoy to help push me through periods marked by low energy levels.

I may not have addressed all your inquiries as I wrote this in between Pomodoro study cycles, but would happy to keep the discussion going as you see fit. I enjoy discussing my experience as it is not only therapeutic, but also surprisingly revealing and insightful for me as well.
