A Comprehensive Review of Nootropics Used to Enhance Stimulants

Original post in this thread

Below is my experience with every nootropic I’ve experimented with for the purposes of increasing the effectiveness of stimulants (namely Vyvanse, caffeine, and nicotine) while reducing tolerance, dependence and side effects.

NAC:

Purpose: Reducing stimulant neurotoxicity and dependence

MOA: Modulates glutamate and prevents excessive dopamine release

Positive Effects: After two weeks of concurrent use with stimulants, NAC eliminated all withdrawal symptoms from Vyvanse, caffeine, and nicotine on my stimulant off-days. Seems to reduce cravings for rewarding activities such as cannabis use and binge eating. While on stimulants, it helps me direct my focus towards productive tasks rather than instantly rewarding activities (e.g mindlessly browsing reddit). Reduces the side effects of stimulants and eliminates the comedown.

Negative Effects: Seems to blunt the euphoric effects of Vyvanse, but does not negatively affect its therapeutic benefits for ADHD.

Magnesium L-Threonate

Purpose: Reducing tolerance, and the peripheral CNS side effects associated with stimulant use.

MOA: Acts as a NMDA antagonist, preventing glutamate excitotoxicity

Positive Effects: Slows the bui…

u/liftmode, care to comment on this?

Big changes are happening in China right now, and many things are being banned. They are throwing many people in prison over little things. One of our suppliers had one of their employees thrown in prison for caffeine powder... China just banned that, but they still had 10kg with them. They caught them with it and immediately threw them in a Chinese prison. Shit's getting crazy over there at the moment. What set this all off was fentanyl. The Chinese government raided a bunch of labs making fentanyl, and any other compound they found at those sites at the time is getting heavy scrutiny from the Chinese government at the moment. A few popular nootropics are among them. This is in no way limited to bromatane, and some things are going to either become very hard or impossible to find soon.

Has anyone tried Excelerol? I'm interested in trying it because it is apparently one of the best nootropics out there, but I'm a bit suspicious because I've never heard anyone talk about it on this subreddit.

A Note Regarding Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT

TLR were not telling people the ingredients. I never expected them to explain their production processes. I expected them to tell people the compounds they were consuming, rather than giving them proprietary names. I did

What is the best nootropic for someone looking primarily for a boost of energy and motivation that's stronger than caffeine but less extreme than amphetamines?

Replying to [deleted] · In case anybody wants to accomplish this with drugs, I've been using 60mg vyvanse + 1g psilocybin mushrooms for a while. Take both with a hardy meal and 2 glasses of water.

Are you joking or serious? You take amphetamines and a low dose of psilocybin as nootropics?

Less may be More

Replying to Reeses007 · Totally agree with this. I would recommend people trying ingredients by themselves in order to build a stack that they react well to. I've never understood the mentality to use abs

This is a big problem I am seeing with people new to nootropics. They want to immediately jump into a stack, and do not want to put in the time to try thing by themselves, and see how each one affects them in isolation.
