Does this actually make yoi smarter or just more confident? Took it twice and felt like I understood everything i was studying immediately but idk if that was just in my head.

Worth taking during finals?

its worth it, and its a combination of the placebo effect as well as actual strong meds

Just dont rely on it or you might become degenerate

Adderall is essentially watered down meth.
Unless you have ADD/ADHD it will destroy your life. It might take a month. It might take several years. If you really need something to help you study and/or concentrate, I would look into nootropics.

Don't listen to ^

I've tried both and can confirm it isn't. Just because there's a one carbon difference doesn't mean it's watered down anything.

The people who take these drugs tend to do worse overall than the average student. Just learn how to study properly and work efficiently

It's a stimulant, it makes you the same as you are normally but a little speedier.
For some people, speeding them up might make them significantly more capable of coming up with quality ideas / solving difficult problems, but for others, speeding them up will just make them exhibit stupid behavior at a faster rate.

fpbp, I use it in small doses very occasionally (5 mg once or twice per week, 10mg on for big exams). My tolerance stays low and it does exactly what I need it to do. It’s really worth using but you have to be really responsible and only use it to augment your study habits not rely on if entirely.

>> No.9365717

I prefer it for studying, not actually during exams. Helps me pay attention for longer periods of time but

That's not because of the drug. It's because they're already failing and are looking for a miracle pill to solve their problems instead of fixing the fundamental issues.

It does, even if you don't take ADHD. You will understand things faster and in more depth than you normally would, anyone who says otherwise is an idiot who bought the,

In my experience, it makes you borderline manic and keeps you awake but it decreases your functional intelligence and memory. It can be helpful for some people, but it is habit-forming and can ultimately fuck you up. You'd be better off just studying normally. It doesn't make you any smarter or more capable than you already are.

It will be more detrimental than helpful if you take too much. That line can be surprisingly low for people without ADD.

Prl-8-53 was the only thing that made a difference for me. I tried a variety of the piracetam based stuff but they didn't have any significant impact for me. Except pramiracetam. It didn't help with memory but it seemed to increase richness of sensory experience. I also got music stuck in my head constantly, which is uncharacteristic for me. I think that is due to the ampakine properties of pramiracetam though.

But I digress, prl-8-53 made it really easy for me to memorize things. I remembered phone numbers after hearing them once and memorized a 50 digit number in several minutes. I have ADD though and prl-8-53 works predominantly on dopamine so maybe its effects were exaggerated on me.
