Brainlets will seethe and cope endlessly at this answer.

The only effective "nootropic" is intrinsic motivation. If you need to resort to any drugs to stay concentrated then this only means you're not sufficiently interested in whatever you're trying to study.

Would you say that to Paul Erdos? Would you say it to his face that he's not sufficiently interested in mathematics?
>After his mother's death in 1971 he started taking antidepressants and amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking them for a month. Erdős won the bet, but complained that it impacted his performance: "You've showed me I'm not an addict. But I didn't get any work done. I'd get up in the morning and stare at a blank piece of paper. I'd have no ideas, just like an ordinary person. You've set mathematics back a month."[66] After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his use of Ritalin and Benzedrine.[67]

> can't function properly without meds
dependence has the same outcome as addiction

Which is why amphetamine and abstaining from sexual activity, stimuli and thoughts are so helpful. Extreme motivation is conferred.

He wouldn't have achieved anything without them. Before nootropics and stimulants, I couldn't even cook food for myself. I would be a nobody coomer doing nothing if I would have never discovered them.

Methamphetamine.
Nootropics don't fucking work, they're all vitamin b and dopamine precursors with no actual effects. Stop posting about nootropics, they're not magic they're not real they don't work.

Welp that's the end of the thread everyone, no discussion allowed.

I'm talking about research grade chemicals. Not the tepid plebbitor racetams.

>>15557573
So what do you take?

>>15557633
Then you want methamphetamine. All of the "Research Grade Chemicals" are trying to replicate that (or some serotonin analogue instead). If you meant "Research Grade Chemicals," then you don't mean "Nootropics," fucktard.

>>15557682
This. Only things that will work in reality are stimulant drugs. You either take Amphetamines (Adderall, Benzedrine, Vyvanse etc.), methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta etc.), Methamphetamines or Cocaine. Shrubs and herbs don't work.

What's the Amphetamine of choice? For a. Effectiveness or b. Affordability?

>>15557927
Adderall. That's why it's the most common. Safest, most affordable (covered by Insurance) and most effective amphetamine.

>>15557310
cerebrolysin

but i only take nicotine (gum) and the occasional phenylpiracetam (no point in taking often)

ofc sleep, exercise and exercise should be on point before considering imo
