Anybody ever try nootropics (smart drugs)?

[Megatron Island]

Real shyt, I've been on this otc drug you can buy on-line at multiple vendors called Noopept.

I've been playing Cambridgebrainscience.com games for a minute and been keeping track of my score. After about 2 weeks of taking this stuff I jumped from scoring within the top 15% to the top 5% on multiple tests.

Noopept - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you're going to try any kind of nootropics, make sure whoever you order from is a reliable source and you know exactly for sure what you're taking. Keep in mind that there are side effects to some.

You can also buy a bunch of similar nootropics from places like the vitamin shoppe, gnc, etc.

They got stuff out there that grows brain cells brehs. Look-up Lion's Mane mushrooms, which are sold at Vitamin Shoppes, Sprouts, etc. This stuff won a Nobel Prize for it's ability to induce brain cell growth and neuroplasticity+neurogenesis.

Here's the recommended usage of such smart drugs:
How to Correctly Use Nootropics What Are Nootropics

Someone from another forum was saying that he used 5mg Creatine from musclepharm (Creatine has been shown to significantly increase IQ), a fish oil source (1g), a cholinergic (used 300 Alpha-gpc and 300mg cdp-choline), and that Lion's Mane mushroom extract (500 mg) along with 30 minutes of dual n-back a day http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/ (the key component) and was able to go from someone not being able to keep up in his courses,to someone who was able to make the connections in all his linear algebra+differential equations+physics courses.

You can also find plenty of the stuff on amazon.com.

A word of caution, if you choose to dive into this stuff, find different forums, etc. Be careful with studies that show chemicals having an effect on rats, because what works on them might not necessarily be the same for humans. Rats=/humans.

So far, stuff I would not mess with:
Selegiline(deprenyl)
Adderall and other prescription ADD medicines
Vasopressin/desmopressin

That selegiline (deprenyl) and vasopressin/desmopressin shyt can kill you.

Combine that with: Brain Workshop - a Dual N-Back game

Edit: one thing I'll tell you though breh, if you're trying to learn math and science as a major, do not neglect too much study time to "brain train." Remember, trying to improve your mind is a great thing to do, but if you're studying for tests in those subjects- then studying for the tests should be first and foremost.

Do you have any tips or articles on focusing. I'm trying hard to quit multitasking on the internet or on the computer in general...

For starters, I'd for sure try and quit multi-tasking on the computer. Take your time and be patient, handle tasks one at a time. You're not the only one to have problems like that, especially in this day and age. Just keep in mind plenty of people have done great things in the math and science world while overcoming their focus problems.

True that, I at least recognize the problem. It's astonishing, because sometimes I'll get too overly stimulated, then I'll go for a walk outside. I do this an attempt to think consciously without any interruption. Then, I suddenly glance down at my phone, which has 4g internet, so there's a good chance I'll check my email & HL.

I can't even read a book, because now all my books, are on the computer, and I'll temporarily, cross reference or look up something on the internet, then somehow find my way back here.

Technology is crazy.

I came across this vid awhile ago.



I've cut back on my net usage recently too. I've felt more refreshed lately.
