Why isn't phenylpiracetam more popular?

Original post in this thread

le_unknown · 18 points

I've had great results with phenylpiracetam. Without a doubt, it has been the nootropic that works best for me. Gives me alertness (but no jitteriness, I just feel awake and normal - kills all drowsiness), focus, and a tiny mood elevation. I'm surprised I don't see more people talking about it. Is there a downside I'm unaware of?

Is anyone actually selling the R- isomer rather than the racemic mixture which appears to perform worse in animal studies?

I've only tried what I presume was racemic 'demiurge' phenylpiracetam. Didn't find it a reliable stimulant compared to modafinil and caffeine.

Bizarre side effect from "Super Rhodiola"

Replying to relbatnrut · It's such a weird substance. It's as stimulating as phenylpiracetam or caffeine or modafinil for me, but there's absolutely no crash, and no effect on sleep at the end of the day.

Do you mean withdrawal in general, or specifically for rhodiola?

Replying to Blozi · I wish there was a "soft" version of an upper. I love smoking weed, but there's nothing to me like having the incomparable focus, energy, drive and confidence adderall gives me. It

There are many soft versions of uppers. However, you would just be replacing one substance to get hooked on, with another. DMAA is one. Modafinil is another. You can also stack caffeine with a GABA modulator like L-thean
