If you were to choose a 10 must have supplements for your own personal stack, what would you choose? Your decision should be influenced by a price/effects/sides ratio.
Lets say
1.- Caffeine
2.-Theanine
3.-Phenibut
5.-Fish oil
4.-ZMA
5.-Tyrosine
6.-Creatine
7.-Semax
8.-Phenylpiracetam
Etc
I'm not narrowing down only to nootropics, I'm mostly interested in what kind of supplemets/noots cater most users in this forum, since most people around here are after effects related to cognitive enhancement, well being, anti anxiety. Unlike bodybuilders who how would favor supplements geared towards fat loss, performance enhancement, muscle building.

Thank you for the links! Sadly the last three are behind a paywall I can't access from my university.
The first paper though states that very little is known about a cause of HPPD, but lists aberrant plasticity as their only hypothesis, not excitotoxicity. In this short paper, the same suggestion is made, although not as explicitly.

That one talks about it in more detail.

It was theorized that these visual disturbances represented visual seizures brought about in vulnerable persons. Recently Aghajanian suggested that this disorder may arise from an excitotoxic destruction of inhibitory interneurons that are serotonergic at the soma and GABAergic at the terminals (Abraham and Aldridge). This is supported by the usefulness of benzodiazepines for this disorder and the observation that LSD serves as a potent partial agonist at the serotonin-2 receptor in the facial nucleus (Garrett et al. 1993).
