I'd like to have a clean topic with lists of nootropics that you felt actually had an effect.
Sometimes I like take a pause from the theoretical parts about how the substances work or should work in the brain and only see how people actually felt when finally trying them.
Semax, intranasal - Verbal fluency got worse
Noopept, intranasal - Verbal fluency got worse, increased motivation for 2 hours, increased brain fog.
NSI-189, sublingual - Decreased anxiety and depression, increased verbal fluency, increased longing for social interaction.
5htp - No effect in awake state, crazy dreams
