Piracetam I haven't actually tried, it's controlled here unlike other racetams (logic?) which has made me hesitant for ordering. Ginkgo gave me barely any effects except some restlessness from the noradrenaline-increase. My newest stimulant contains DMAE along with dendrobium, caffeine, rhodiola etc. I find this good alertness, energy and focus boost. I wonder how much the DMAE affects there.. Anyway, interesting thread there, deh707. Focus XT might be something I could give a try at some point.
Because of my condition of anhedonia and blunted response to things my anecdotes can be a bit altered from that of average person. This is why I want to keep my mood well while optimizing cognition. Shutting myself indoors in hypomania and playing extreme sessions, maybe in near future lol. For now I wanna enjoy the summer while making some cash.
Interesting regimen and thread, Galaxyshock. What brands are all of those herbs that you are taking? It seems that even among standardized herbs there can be a lot of variation between brands.
This thread kind of makes me hope there will an an investment/ stock trading stack discussion thread started some day.
Bacopa, I use Thorne research extract and it works well. Ginseng and Rhodiola I've recently used local health supplement store products, seem to do the job. With Rhodiola I have previously used Life extension and Nature's Way products successfully. Schisandra I'm using Nature's Way full herb, it's smooth but I recently ordered extracted form to see if it has stronger effects. In my experience these popular brands tend to be decent enough quality.
