Hello, firstly I am to this board but I am very happy to be part of this forum!
It is my first experience with nootropics and I am here for some advice before start my regimen.
Background information:
I am 23 years old male, I weigh 130 lbs and my height is around 165 cms.
I need to take a very important medical exam in August.
I plan on studying every night for around 3-5 hours.
Studying for this exam requires a lot of comprehension, memorization, and concentration/perseverance. (My main use for nootropics)
What I currently have:
Piracetam (800mg)
Choline Bitartrate (500mg)
Questions:
1. For memorization, would you recommend Huperzine A or Galantamine (and why)? And what would be the dosage for each, for someone of my stature? (Ex: For Huperzine A, I've seen reports from 50 micrograms to 400 micrograms daily, and other sources say that it is dangerous to be taken at a daily basis, and we should only use it a few times per week or per month.)
2. Will taking Huperzine A or Galantamine interfere with Piracetam? Should I alternate between Huperzine and Piracetam from one day to another? Or should I take Piracetam in the morning and Huperzine at night?
3. What should the attack dosage be for me (with regards to my height and weight).
4. This question may be stupid, but different sources have different numbers so... How much Piracetam should I take on a daily basis after the attack period, and what about Choline Bitartrate?
5. Is it a bad idea to take antidepressants at the same time? (namely SNRIs)
6. Finally, should I forget about all this, and go directly for the Get Smart by smartnutrition? Seems like they have everything in one capsule!
I know some of you might think these are really stupid questions, and I apologize. But I would like to hear your input/advice before putting anything in my system. Thank you very much for your experience and expertise!
