I am an 18 year old male who is fairly new to the nootropic scene. I exercise regularly (I swim and play competitive club volleyball) and consider my diet to be a fairly healthy one. I have been browsing this board for the last few months and have started taking:
Piracetam - 800mg 2x daily
Alpha GPC - 600 mg 2x daily
Omega-3 - EPA(700mg)/DHA(500mg) 2x daily
Initially my main concerns were a lack of concentration and feeling of hopelessness that began to grip me about two years ago. I turned to nootropics to help alleviate these two problems. I got side-tracked with regard to this goal, however (its my senior year of high school), and ended up settling on piracetam (for the time being) as my introductory nootropic as it seems to be the most well regarded and well researched. I have been taking it for about a month now along with choline and have noticed both an improvement in my vocabulary and an increased desire to express myself. I also feel more creative and find myself having fun while writing school assignments, even though writing has typically been my weakest subject. I recently began my nootropic quest once more, still searching for solutions to my lack of concentration and sense of hopelessness, and I came across a post that referenced The Braverman Assessment Test. I took the test hoping that it would give me some objective data that I could use to build a stack but I am rather confused about how to interpret the data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
