What nootropic can you cycle l-theanine with?

Original post in this thread

I really like how l-theanine makes you feel so calm and allows you to think clearly under pressure - it doesn't make your mind all fuzzy. I've used it a fair bit before but have noticed that you develop a tolerance to it very fast, so I would like to cycle it with something else that has a similar effect but has no cross-tolerance with it i.e. using one noot does not increase tolerance of the other.

What do you guys recommend for this?

Yeah, l-theanine can do that to me sometimes. I think a certain amount of stress is good for motivation, and since l-theanine greatly reduces the intensity of any stress it can't be good for motivation!

Do you try l-theanine and bacopa at the same time or do you cycle between them?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

I am currently taking L-theanine and bacopa at the same time. The past 3 weeks I was taking both, plus noopept and oxiracetam. The full combo was working very well. I just wanted to have a week to cycle off and see if there were any changes in effects. There were! The motivation was lost.

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

Replying to awaitingsanity · Great intel. I was thinking about replacing piracetam with noopept in my stack. Do they seem to "go well" together or would you recommend one over the other?

I'd say they go well together. I found that 10mg noopept, 450mg oxiracetam, 200mg caffeine, 150mg L-theanine, and 200mg Bacopa was a very good stack. You could probably switch out the oxiracetam for 1,600mg piracetam wit

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

Pramiracetam experiences - no effect for me

Replying to fungz0r · Does this have any effect on speech?

Now that you mention it, yes. I led a conference call yesterday and I was fumbling my words in the beginning. Keep in mind I was also on bacopa, l-theanine, modafinil, ginkgo, oxiracetam, and caffeine. It just feels like

Replying to blahblah15 · Thanks! Can you give a brief rundown of what each of these does & why you're taking it? I can google it, but it's not so clear.

Noopept is a dipeptide derivative of piracetam, that is 1000 times stronger. This means that my dose is literally 10mg instead of 1.6 grams with piracetam. I dose it sublingually. It is an AMPA and NMDA positive alloster
