Hello
I have been experimenting with several substances in last months. I discontinued using nootropics since 90% of them didnt work for me or gave only side effects - mostly a brainfog. During the last 2 years i noticed that caffeine from energy drinks and pure caffeine pills stopped working for me properly - it doesnt give me clarity and verbal fluency like before but only rise blood pressure and make me anxious. Now i only drink coffee in the mornings + dose fish oil, magnesimum, b12 and vitamin C when needed + sometimes i take 50-100mg of pregnenolone.
I need a energy and productiveness for daily demaning intellectual tasks but coffee is not ideal for it for me at the moment. What can i use as a substitute? From natural things i tried: rhodiola rosea, panax ginseng, bacopa, gingko and several other things but those all gave me only brainfog(including noots like noopept, piracetam, CDP Choline, huperzine, pramiracetam etc) I have been thinking about: modafinil, hordenine(heard that it should be dosed with PEA), theacrine and phenylpiracetam(hard to get it where i live - especially the original Phenotropil in tablets)
