Noopept/L-theanine/Bacopa showing massive reductions in stress level.

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

Ok, I will start off with a little back story. This week has been an extraordinarily crappy week for me. Without going into too many specifics, I was a victim of fraud earlier in the week. All my bank accounts and credit cards were frozen without notifying me, and were in the process of being closed. All in all I was taken for $2 grand; which I will not be able to get back. On top of that, I am owed over $13,000 for jobs that I have completed months ago, yet have not been paid for. After spending the better part of two days on the phone filing reports with the FBI, IC3, Attorney General, and police, I decided that a mountain bike ride would be nice to wind down. As I am about as far out as possible, my swing-arm pivot loosened, causing my shock to blow out. Awesome! Also, my driveway is all torn up from a sewer pipe issue, and has been for months without action by my landlord. I've heard, "he'll be out next week" at least 5 times now.

Normally I would be stressing like crazy. I would be upset and angry, looking for ways to get back at the people that took me, or just stewing in my anger. However, I have been on a 2 week stack of noopept, L-theanine, bacopa, and oxiracetam. Not only did I not get upset after my bike shock blew up under me, I was happy! I calmly got off my bike, and walked in peace the few miles back to my house. I watched as the sun set, marveled at the beauty this time of year, and just said to myself, "everything is fine." Earlier in the day I had toyed with the idea of cancelling the Halloween party I have scheduled at my house tonight. However, after I got home I told myself, "don't let the terrorists win!" So I went out to go find a craft beer keg for my outdoor tiki bar for tonight. Normally I get upset at asshole drivers on the road too. Not last night! I was just at peace, even though not much has gone right the past week. This is a game changer for me. If this stack can not only help me to remain calm this week, but be happy as well, then it's a significant ally. As an experiment I took some aniracetam a couple hours ago, and this got me shaky and brought out the stress. Luckily it has a short half life, so I'm back to calm again. Anybody have any similar experiences with these nootropics?

Any long term (6+ months) daily users of Racetams or other Nootropics out there? Care to post your stories?

I've been using nootropics regularly for over a year. Piracetam, oxiracetam, pramiracetam, aniracetam, noopepet, bacopa monnieri, various choline supplements, ALCAR, ALA, and most recently Modafinil. My cognition has de

Try something other than a racetam. I barely use racetams anymore. There are a lot more effective things out there.

Heya, I'm interested in pressing some noot pills for near cost. (Could probably undercut SNS) Any suggestions on dies and ingredients? Maybe Noopept, Pyritinol, Adrafinil, and combos?

Haha, have a Hello Kitty face pressed into your pills! That would be ridiculous! I personally like the routine of weighing individual doses as I take them. I don't see it as a hassle. If you are going to do it, I would
