What about nicotine as a nootropic? It's worked wonders for me when used acutely.

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic & Nootropics Depot

I really like nicotine. It's great for focus and stimulation. However, I have never really attempted to measure my recall and recognition of things I have learned while on it in a naive state. It could very well be helping some aspects of my cognition, while also slightly impairing my memory.

Nicotine and cognitive decline

Don't smoke anything! It's a barbaric way to ingest molecules. It's 2014! Vaporize or use the gum. Nicotine is a very effective cognitive enhancer. It is relatively safe when used appropriately. I would put it in a simi

Smart drugs: A dose of intelligence

Sunifiram seems to potentiate ACh agonists, and other stimulants. So be careful mixing them. Someone on Longecity already went to the hospital because he mixed high doses of caffeine with high doses of sunifiram. Sunifi

Bacopa Monnieri: The Most Impressive Natural Nootropic?

Replying to AdAstraPer5-HT2Ar · Exercise boosts the fuck out of me much more than caffeine or nicotine so there's that. I don't think that there is anything else in my stack that would counter it. Bacopa's pharma…

I think the most likely explanation is the simple one. Bacopa up-regulates tryptophan hydroxylase, which increases 5-HTP production, which competes with L-DOPA for the aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase enzyme, which lo
