Ok, so i've been researching for a while and as a beginner i'm trying to keep it simple. I have a new job starting in the next couple of weeks i thought i'd make a start on a stack to see if it can give me the edge. Just wanted to know what Reddit thought and i'll keep everyone updated with how it goes. :)
Here's where i am now:
L-Theanine 200mg (any opinions on this brand would be appreciated, looking to move to bulk powder if it works for me) and Caffeine 200mg twice a day, once in the morning and once around lunchtime. Added cups of black coffee and tea.
So far subtle results, i thought the caffeine might be a bit strong and knock me for six but i'm up in the morning and functioning, which couldn't have been done before without a ton of coffee, and haven't felt any overpowering or unpleasant side effects. (Not sure if tolerance, or thanks to the theanine?) Any opinions on my dosing appreciated, will start to modify when i can establish a baseline of what works for me. So far i'm 4 days in.
Also have Green Tea 1000mg which came free with the Caffeine pills, should i add? Not sure yet.
I will also be adding Pir…

My opinion is that you should buy our pumpkin flavored sublingual L-theanine! ;-)
For the piracetam, I would start at 1.6g. That's a good initial dose to gauge your effects. Then you can go up or down from there. The CDP I would start small, around 250mg. Once you get a feel for piracetam, you can decide if you want to branch out from there, possibly to aniracetam or noopept.
Good luck on the new job!
