Is there a definitive list of what can be taken daily, long-term, and what shouldn't be?

I'm finding dribs and drabs about the place, but it would be really good to have just a straight-up list of:
"this is fine to be part of your everyday stack" (e.g. choline)
"this should be cycled because you'll build up a tolerance" (e.g. caffeine)
and
"this should only be used short-term because the long-term effects could be bad" (e.g. levadopa)
not sure whether down-regulating fits into the 2nd or 3rd category, and obviously some people don't tolerate having choline every day, but it's still basically generally fine.
Has someone already made a list like that? If not, could we put one together?

Aderall is not a nootropic.

People need to stop down-voting things they do not agree with. This comment is 100% correct, and on-topic. I have noticed that people are misusing the voting system even more, since they took away our ability to see the total up/down votes. It's making this place a more hostile place to have discussions, and needs to stop.
Amphetamine is NOT a nootropic. It is addictive, has a lot of side effects, and can be neurotoxic.
