I think Alcar may be a good call, keep dose in lower range though don't take too much, it does give a very different effect as compared to choline. Alcar is not a choline it is a bioavailible form of carnitine.
but I think Noopept would be a better option personally, I found that stuff motivating as hell, but as ive said in many other threads i have pretty bad sleeping problems and it worsens these. . though for most people it doesnt do this.
I found noopept to be motivating, energizing, found myself doing 100 things during the day without barely thinking about it. It's as if it boosted the "planning and acting" part of my brain and blunted the "unmotivated procrastinating" side. As far as we know it's safe, though I think it needs more study,.
also with noopept i found the effect became better as I took it every day , and the dose can stay low i.e. between 5-20 mg, personally Id keep it on the lower end myself. i think this is the money shot, and it's cheap. Only advice would be don't compulsively take a larger dose thinking it will work better, and dont be impatient, it could take a few days to work if you dont feel it right away
Would you recommend Noopept over Piracetam?
I'd say that piracetam is more safe, not because I think that noopept is unsafe [i have no reason to believe so] but because piracetam has a pretty good track record for being safe. But for effectiveness, yes I would say noopept is far superior to piracetam. But it really depends what you're looking for and how it affects you in the end of the day. Personally I didn't find piracetam made me particularly smart or motivated or anything like that, other people would say different. Noopept to me was way strong even at the puny dose that i used, and the effects built up, and it had a noticable effect on my life.. Piracetam, not so much.
I heard things that affect ACh reduces SE and can cause depression/anxiety. I have a tendency to become depressed/anxious and certain things aggrevate it for me. Should I stay away from Piracetam in that case?
