Anyone ever used nootropics, like any from the racetam family?
I feel like my mind is fairly sharp, ie i'm fairly intelligent but sometimes i think a boost in mental capability would be useful. Usually, in these circumstances i use caffeine to boost my alertness but i would like to experiment with some actual nootropic drugs (is caffeine nootropic?). I would like to achieve improvements in working memory, and easier ability to between levels of abstraction without getting lost.
some of the nootropics that interest me the most are not from the racetam family, i've also read that stacking certain nootropics with certain others can result in a greater improvement in cognitive function than either on their own.
pramiracetam i've read, is highly effective, maybe even the most powerful from the racetam family so would be an racetam to use in a stack, although it's cost compared to other racetams (and other nootropics in general) diminishes my interest in that one in particular (pramiracetam)
noopept is possibly one that i'm the most interested in, maybe I should go with this or stack it with a racetam, or soemthing else? i understand that different classes of nootropics have different mechanisms in the brain to produce the effect and that certain ones can compliment each other because of this. i also have read that acetylcholine can become depleted after supplementation with certain nootropics sometimes which can cause side effects which can be offset by stacking with a choline source (or other nootropic that produces it's nootropic effect by introducing a (acetyl)choline source.
i know some of them can produce tolerance, and i'd like to avoid the ones that produce the most tolerance for obvious reasons. i'm not sure where to start, but i'd like to. should i just pick one and try out, then stack maybe stack other stuff onto it that would compliment its effects?
stimulants (especially amphetamines) greatly increase mental productivity, but they have side effects that aren't always desirable. speed makes you go fast, so you can get more done, but nootropics i'd like to think of as like an engine running at low RPM but with a lot of torque, capable of performing just as much work as the fast engine but with lower risk of flying apart.
