Have any of you used nootropics? If so, which ones and how effective were they?

From my experience, the only ones that have real efficacy are:

1) Coffee + L-Theanine combination, but even this experiences diminishing returns after a number of uses. Best to only use this when you really need to focus, but still want to avoid amphetamines like adderall.

2) Modafinil: This was actually recommended by a professor I once had. Check this article out:

3) 8 hours of sleep, sunlight in the morning, omega 3, zinc, magnesium, ginkgo biloba, vitamin d supplements every day. If you have the willpower to do this for 30 days straight, you will feel like a godlike superhuman, albeit difficult.
