A person close to me was prescribed Noofen (Phenibut) for headaches. Please help me understand the risks.

Obviously this was not prescribed in a Western country. The fact that it is not approved by the FDA in the US worries me. Should I be worried?

Hypothetically, do you think one could one patent a ER/CR approach to the tianeptine molecule and have that approved by the FDA for sale under a brand name as a pharmaceutical?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

It's already been done. The patent exists, but it will never be approved in the US, due to the high cost of getting the trials done. We are going to make an extended release tianeptine at some point, though. We just will not sell it as a drug.

Best place for responsible users to buy phenibut since nootropicsdepot discontinued it?

Replying to BitcoinOperatedGirl · Your plan for nootropic domination is one step closer to completion, I see! Will you also sell tianeptine in powder form?

Yes ma'am. Same stuff Nootropics Depot carried.

Things can have nootropic qualities, while not being a strict nootropic. So some people may use things like low dose LSD for purported nootropic qualities, but LSD itself cannot be defined as a nootropic.
