Optimum caffeine cycling

Original post in this thread

somnicule · 7 points

I've got some caffeine powder ordered from Nootropics Depot (thanks for the store credit!). I've experimented with several doses, and as someone with low caffeine sensitivity even without caffeine tolerance I've found it to be highly effective at doses around 300-600mg over the course of a morning.

To maximize these benefits over time, I'm interested in what information or experience you have with cycling caffeine. So far it's just been every other day for me. I haven't noticed any significant cravings, withdrawal, etc, and for me the caffeine "crash" is more of a pleasant tiredness that makes it easier to have an early night.

Anything you have to add would be much appreciated.

Do you eat a lot of cholesterol or eggs, or anything that could be pertinent to neural recovery?

I find that meat and eggs allow me to maintain a high caffeine intake.
I assume it's because I keep my hormones (neurosteroids and androgens) high and supply a lot of nutrients necessary for neural recovery.

Yes, I eat a lot of eggs. Usually two in the morning for breakfast. Also, my diet is pretty balanced. I eat a lot of sushi as well. Not to mention the supplements I take that modulate BDNF.

Has anyone tried Excelerol? I'm interested in trying it because it is apparently one of the best nootropics out there, but I'm a bit suspicious because I've never heard anyone talk about it on this subreddit.

A Note Regarding Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT

TLR were not telling people the ingredients. I never expected them to explain their production processes. I expected them to tell people the compounds they were consuming, rather than giving them proprietary names. I did

What is the best nootropic for someone looking primarily for a boost of energy and motivation that's stronger than caffeine but less extreme than amphetamines?

Replying to [deleted] · In case anybody wants to accomplish this with drugs, I've been using 60mg vyvanse + 1g psilocybin mushrooms for a while. Take both with a hardy meal and 2 glasses of water.

Are you joking or serious? You take amphetamines and a low dose of psilocybin as nootropics?

Less may be More

Replying to Reeses007 · Totally agree with this. I would recommend people trying ingredients by themselves in order to build a stack that they react well to. I've never understood the mentality to use abs

This is a big problem I am seeing with people new to nootropics. They want to immediately jump into a stack, and do not want to put in the time to try thing by themselves, and see how each one affects them in isolation.
