What compares to Fasoracetam in terms of anxiety and mood uplift?

Fasoracetam is the first racetam I've tried and I've been taking to for a month now along with alpha gpc and prescribed adderall.
I want to know if anyone has experienced Fasoracetam and other nootropics and found something similar but better.
I've noticed Faso makes me sorta more happy, and reduces the edge to adderall, also it almost seems like it gives me energy or motivation after a good nights sleep.
These effects are sort of subtle and short lived (like 2-3 hours, plus like almost a better rest of the day "glow" after it wears off) though and Faso is quite expensive.
So anyone have something similar? Would another racetam be the next best choice? Or is there something better?

There is no way to prevent from memory and cognition issues caused by GABAergics? Recently I learned that this side effects (in benzodiazepines) is due to GABA A alpha 5 and 1 subunit that benzodiazepines binds to, so I guess (in case of benzodiazepines) we should look into this mechanism if we want to prevent from cognition problems. What do you think?

There are some compounds that can help. Harman and norharman are in coffee, and they are benzdiazepine inverse agonists. Centrophenoxine has been reported to help with benzo-induced memory deficits. Ginkgo biloba and vinpocetine are others one that some report success with. I've also seen some people recommend galantamine for benzo-induced memory loss. I have not tried that one, though.
