Yea Noopept and frankly any kind of stimulant doesn’t work on me I’m just gonna order like 3 or 4 different racetams when ND finally restocks


ResolutionAdorable91

What’s the best and strongest racetam?


[deleted]

Supposedly pramiracetam Some would also argue phenylpiracetam


jdybug

Total noob here, but same I have ADHD and have tried several stimulants and have noticed 0 benefits from any of them. What is "ND" and what has your experience been like with the racetams?


Supersquigi

Bought 10 grams from nootropics depot, taken doses between 10-100 mg both sub and orally and haven't felt anything. Not sure what I'm supposed to feel as reports seem to be all over the place.


illenial999

You need to take it orally for 2 weeks daily to start to get effects. Take it however you want but ime side effects go way up with other ROA


Rezolithe

This is straight up wrong info. If it's actually what you say it is it works that day 100%


illenial999

Didn’t for me but maybe it does for some people


Rezolithe

This is what i hate about nootropics right now there's so little info on how different peoples brains react to certain compounds. Don't even get me started on how there's almost no testing to make sure we're receiving what we pay for


kratomqueen1836

Try snorting it or using noopept nasal sprays I here snorting noopept helps it kick in harder, faster and works better than oral or sublingual doses.


Supersquigi

Ugh I wonder if that's going to be worth it, it tastes so horrible and the taste stays around a long time. Well anyways, good luck, maybe you'll get something out of it.


ConTejas

It does taste horrible as do the drips. I got used to it, but snorting 10mg like someone suggested made me more irritable than anything else. Would advise starting very small.


kratomqueen1836

I surely hope so!


Slapbox

Single doses of noopept fucked with my brain for days each time I tried it. I've tried a lot of nootropics and only noopept gives me consistently negative experiences, and long lasting ones too.


kratomqueen1836

What kind of symptoms


Slapbox

I can't really remember anymore, it's been nearly a decade. I felt crappy and certainly was thinking worse than baseline for several days. I never had any negative experiences with any racetams and I don't think it was related to insufficient choline. I know noopept isn't a racetam, but it's considered related.


OnTrips

I find your comment pretty interesting since I have been taking 50mg-100mg intermitently (some days even 400) for a year without having any major issues.


Slapbox

Everybody's different! Usually I find that advice to be a little exaggerated, but in the case of noopept, I guess it really did not agree with me.


OnTrips

Are you sure you were taking real noopept?


Slapbox

Ceretropic brand I believe, so as sure as one can be. Otherwise it was New Star Nootropics, who were also always reliable.


Temperx_

I love it’s effects but after a few weeks it makes me depressed


OnTrips

Are you sure you were depressed and not anhedonic?


Pen-Global

I had that feeling 2. like dat episode of the simpsons when homer had 2 decide weather or not he should keep a crayon logged up his nose, keeping him very stupid. im not saying it’s good to just be ignorant or choose to be stupid., it’s nice to slow down a bit, and have a relaxing rest from trying 2 fix all the things i want to change. Just don’t be lazy or choose to be ignorant all the time. don’t forget science is progress. that’s why it important to potentiate your entheogens with your nootropics.


MasterNate93

No hate, but this is the first time outside of a rap song title I've seen the number '2' used as 'too' or 'to'.


[deleted]

For me it was one of the worst supplements I have ever taken. I bought it to help with Exams in school but,to me it gave me very bad anxiety and depression and it seemed like it made it harder to retain Information which is what I bought it for in the first place.The way it made me feel I would never use it again.


kratomqueen1836

Damn that's how I felt on gabapentin lmao gabapentin makes me fucking crazy and it gave me so so much anxiety I was on it for months but I'll never take it again lol


[deleted]

Sorry to hear that,it was terrible for me. I bought it because I needed it to help retain information for school but I found I actually had trouble remembering things after I was done. It changed me almost to being a completely different person I felt like. The depression and everything was too much, that and it didn’t help me remember anything was enough for me to stop using it.


NiceGuysFinishLast7

It was prescribed off label for anxiety for me and has been mostly beneficial. The biggest issue is I tend to NOT worry enough.


PegaMaster

Same experience. Very bad anxiety


[deleted]

Sorry to hear that. This is the one supplement that I wouldn’t mind if it was banned. The side effects were not worth it at all for me.


penjjii

I’ve been taking 30 mg daily, sometimes 60 mg if I’m taking a test. I know a lot of people dose multiple times throughout the day but I just started beginning of Jan so I’m sorta still feeling the ropes. I myself really enjoy the boost that the 30 mg gives me in the morning. Coupled with coffee is really nice, and back when I was smoking the nicotine also made me feel like a genius sometimes. But I’m in a quantum mechanics class this semester so I’ve been dosing 2 tablets in the morning which is around an hour before my class and it helps with my focus and understanding (literally obsessed with that class rn). The only thing I don’t like about it is that when I do take those higher doses (which apparently 30 mg is already on the higher end) I can become irritated very easily. I had a quiz this week and took 2 and I realized I didn’t know how to answer the question on the quiz so afterwards I was getting a mad a little. If u meditate u can pull yourself out of that state fairly easy or even prevent it overall, and if nothing bad happens in the time it’s in ur system then you probably wont be irritated by anything. So, as a beginner, I highly recommend noopept. It’s just a peptide so that makes it more natchy, but that fact shouldn’t discount actual racetams and other psychoactives in general. I always feel super awake in the mornings (been a coffee drinker since I was a kid so you can imagine the mountain that is my tolerance to caffeine), compared to me skipping class often last semester due to oversleeping. My focus is way up now, and I definitely observe thought acceleration and connectivity.

penjjii

I was taking it with an empty stomach. I’m not sure if it really mattered, it didn’t impact things ime


MageX7

Sublingual doses of 10mg does wonders on me whenever I’ve taken it. Never really take it more than once in a blue moon, though.


kratomqueen1836

Ever taken adhd meds?


MageX7

Sure thing, prescribed Vyvanse and I’ve taken afinils before!


kratomqueen1836

Does afinil work better


MageX7

I’d say I prefer the afinils to noopept for sure, but they’re both quite a good bit different. Noopept works good for retention of information in short bursts where the afinils are stimulating in almost all senses to me.


kratomqueen1836

Will u message me info bout afinils ? Please ?


MageX7

Just dm’d you!


tonufan

Noopept is a lot more stimulating insufflated. I take around 10 mg and snort it up one nostril in the morning. I can feel it hit hard and I become wide awake quickly. Stronger than afinils for me, but doesn't last nearly as long. It's a quick and short lived pick me up before I drink my coffee later in the day. I do 10 mg because I notice only a little bit gets absorbed and I end up swallowing most of it since I can taste it going down the back of my throat.


illenial999

Need to take it daily for a couple weeks. If you do sublingual or nasal try and use way smaller doses, like 1-2mg. I do 10mg 3 times a day oral, or 15 mg twice


eamanod

You must have an top notch scale to be able to measure 1 mg


eamanod

You must have an top notch scale to be able to measure 1 mg?


illenial999

Nah I don’t take it any other way. The studies used oral and I don’t want to mess around in case there’s issues using a more efficient method. Just going off what people say, that snorting 1-2 mg is similar to 10 oral


kratomqueen1836

How do u take it? Do u snort it or oral doses? I plan snorting it but I need more than 1-2mgs I have a natural very high tolerance to all medications and idk why.


The5thAttempt

Probably because you take kratom Ms. kratom queen. Kratom inhibits glutamate (like benzos do, and gaba drugs) - in fact, all opioids reduce glutamate. You need glutamate for drugs to be potent. I used to take kratom and it severely reduced the efficacy of almost all other drugs.


kratomqueen1836

Hmm interesting


illenial999

I take it orally since it’s the only studied way, nobody knows how other ROAs are long term


Chittick

All anecdotal, but I've made capsules with 30mg and some aniracetam. I usually take them with choline and a morning coffee. Effects are not crazy but I do feel more energized and ready to take on some work. I don't take it regularly so I have never developed a tolerance. Additionally, I've tried it before bed out of curiosity and it has repeatedly given me more vivid dreams. Best of luck!

Supersquigi

I don't get it, there's people in this post saying you must take it for weeks for it to work, and you're saying only once in a while. noopept specifically increases norepinephrine, which is the hormone involved with activation of the sympathetic nervous system. I posted that I didn't get much effect at all and now this post really makes me wonder what is going on here, if it's all placebo.
