Hey all,
Glad to have finally found this forum. As the title implies, I am relatively new to nootropics and am hoping for some advice. I have lurked around for a bit and read up on some of the more common ones such as modafinil, primiracitem, etc but am still a little confused.
A little bit about me: I am in law school right now and as can imagine have a crapload of work. In college sometimes I would adderall/dexederine when studying for exams, and it definitely helped me stay focused/motivated and “happy” for long periods of time. Although I really don’t think it did anything for my memory or cognitive enhancement. In fact, I have heard many reports saying dexederine stifles creativity… I don’t think that stuff made me any smarter, just “happier” per say while studying. I have never been diagnosed with any kind of ADD. Then again, with the added motivation and energy I sure got a lot done.
Anyway, I guess now I am looking for something that will help me retain more information while studying, and maybe something that will help me think a little faster/smarter on tests, which I seem to have every other week, which sucks… Most of my studying is pretty much straight memorization of texts/power point slides.
I have had success with the adderall, its certainly better than nothing thats for sure, but I am curious to try some of the other noots here. Was just wondering what you all would recommend for someone in my position.
Thanks in advance.
