Nootropican Confusion
Original post in this thread

So I have this issue where I have been studying and experimenting on nootropics for 2 years and have almost tried all of the resources I was able to get my hands.
I have successfully been able to obtain modafinil from my trip to Italy and has considered it as a trophy as I have not been using it quiet often. Was able to purchase also Adrafinil but completely lost track with it.
Basically because I have purchased many kinds of racetams and the bacopas and modafinils I lost what is it that I really need to get that peak performance I want. The ability to have that energy to handle work with focus and motivation and the ability to go home and do more things.
I have a demanding job with a huge responsibility. Most of my staff has been dismissed and I am running the show by myself and feeling lost in all the work juggling and the chaos. I am 26 year old and I am a director of retail at one of the big companies in my country. I constant contact people and get in touch with people and it's all about talking and negotiations and meetings and people. Requires me to be more social and more "happy" as in motivated. It's really fun and exciting but I things had become slow and I am feel…

It sounds like you want to be motivated and happy. Well activation of the dopamine system is going to be what you are looking for. DMAA would be good for that. It's not going to be as pushy as amphetamine, but will still motivate and give you focus. My business partner Jason loves stacking it with noopept, and he doesn't even like noopept on its own. Together they seem to create a really nice synergy. I have some coming to me right now, so I will be able to give you personal anecdotal results soon.
Then there are other options that stray from the nootropic, but are still effective. Kratom contains many natural alkaloids that have stimulant properties and opioid affinities. Some Sumatra white vein in the morning will provide great motivation and mood uplift. I'd limit yourself to twice a week with kratom so as not to build up tolerance, though. Keep in mind that it is an opioid, so it does have an addiction profile. I'd still put it as less dangerous than phenibut, though.
You could also look into something like tianeptine. It's an SSRE, and provides a very nice mood uplift for a couple hours. It also stimulates synaptogenesis, and increases dopamine release. I personally have good results with it.
Then of course you have all the actual nootropics. However, I think you will find their actions to be a lot more subtle. Some people get motivation of the racetams. However, most will find them to be a little less than what they are looking for.
