Physics is too beautiful and pure for academia.

Physicists study/pursue physics in spite of academia, not because of it.

As long as your purpose for learning physics is purely academic you will never be able to see that beauty and will always be fighting with it.

Getting an "intuitive knowledge" of calculus is going to be pretty much impossible unless you do a lot of calculus and study hard. Looking at lots of sample problems and their solutions, and doing problems yourself, and memorizing formulas and noticing connections between them is the best way to get there. You may understand why certain things are happening, or ought to happen, but still not be able to solve half the problems that come your way.
TL;DR: Don't expect to have an intuitive knowledge of calc without putting in a lot of time and energy and grunt work. It's worth it though; calc is way more interesting and fun than the math you have done before, and once you get past some initial hurdles, if you know your algebra and trig, you are in good shape. Godspeed, OP.

1. At least a little bit. There are loads of complicated interactions going on, and some noots work better than others for certain people. However much sulbutiamine I take it doesn't seem to do a thing to me, although others have claimed it has a fairly noticeable stimulant effect; but the first time I took sunifiram I could tell pretty quickly I had taken something. Don't expect miracles and don't expect anything immediate (although you could potentially get something immediate).
2. No, as long as you do your research. If you know to be careful with MAOIs, SSRIs, etc. and you keep your doses reasonable, you should be fine.
3. As I mentioned, sulbutiamine doesn't do much to me. Caffeine is obviously at least somewhat effective; I'm scripted Adderall I prefer that as a stimulant but I use caffeine occasionally, with good results. Choline is an odd one; I seem to need it very rarely when using even strong racetams like oxi (my favorite) and pram, and I often have sleeping trouble after taking it, but I don't know if anyone else has experienced this. Noopept is good, but if you're new to these drugs I would recommend getting piracetam first. Noopept can make me get angry or bored easily, so be a bit careful of that. I have no experience with PEA and can't comment on it.
Good luck on your quest. I'm starting calc 2 tomorrow. I (unintentionally) stayed up all night two nights in a row last week and was still functioning well enough to study each of those days, probably thanks to my noots.
