Any Interest in a Beginner Guide for Nootropics?

Original post in this thread

NothingLeftToLose · 368 points

I am thinking about making a guide to nootropics for absolute beginners. I know that I was pretty overwhelmed when I was first starting out, and it was hard to know what to trust, especially with regards to safety. The FAQ is a great resource, but I think absolute beginner's would really benefit from more concrete advice about how to begin experimenting with nootropics and about structuring an effective stack.

I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks this would be useful. If you guys are interested I could post an outline of what the guide would contain. If anyone wants to help or contribute feel free to PM me or post here.

EDIT
So it seems like there is a huge amount of interest for this guide. I honestly only came up with the idea yesterday, so I haven't started writing yet. My tentative plan is to start posting portions of it here in the coming weeks as I start to write it, and hopefully people who know more than me can help revise and add to it. Everyone responds a bit differently to nootropics, so the last thing I want to do is to write a guide that says "this is what worked for me, so it should work for you." Just to clarify, the guide will be 100% free.

That's great! Hopefully a guide like this would cut down on a lot of the same types of posts from beginners (like me.)

Definitely. Did you read my modafinil post?

Don't be put off by my tone. I was addressing an issue that has largely gone away now.

Lately this subreddit has been turning into "Modafinil and Me." This is a place to advance our knowledge of all nootropics, not simply beat the latest popular one to death. I understand that many of you have questions ab

The results from our latest round of testing are in. We all had a pretty good idea that the Bacognize would fair well, as Nootropics Depot's tests showed. However, we now have 3rd party results confirming it. * Lead- .0

It's time to have the Modafinil talk again.

It's been seven months since I made this post: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nootropics/comments/199n7l/modafinil_posts/ We had a lull in the modafinil posts for a while, but now they are back in full swing. I just want to re

Here to warn the community that I've experienced debilitating rebound anxiety when taking l-theanine. It was 100 percent this substance. Quit a week ago and back to baseline. Theanine is going in the trash.

Found Nootropics in sons room.

Talk to him about it. Modalet is just Modafinil. It is a lot safer than the Amphetamine he is on for ADHD. However, he should make sure you are okay with everything he is doing. You are his parent, afterall. But you need
