I'm not talking about the acute effects, but the day after. I wake up feeling a reduction in depressive moods, better focus, less distracting anxiety, and better mental flexibility. I noted it during class.

Everyone on my father's side of the family is an alcoholist too, so I wonder what it has to do with it.

For the longest time I thought I needed more stimulation to focus. Coffee in the morning, another one when I started fading, sometimes another later if I had a lot to get done.

Eventually I realized I wasn’t really getting more productive. I’d feel locked in for a little while, then get restless and start jumping between things. By afternoon I usually felt completely drained.

A few weeks ago I started cutting back. The first few days sucked, but after adjusting I noticed something weird: my energy feels a lot more consistent and sitting down to work actually feels easier.

I still drink coffee, just way less than before. I’m starting to wonder how much of my “bad focus” was actually me constantly trying to fix tiredness with more caffeine.

Anyone else find that less stimulation ended up helping them more than adding another nootropic?

That's really the post. I was hoping someone could recommend a 'stack' that worked for you. Every morning going to work feels like stepping into hell. And it's not "find another job", it's just more like "god I really dont want to do this." I've noticed I'm more motivated when I have plenty of energy drinks (horrible for my health) and get a good nights rest. But ultimately what I want is motivation and happiness at work. Is there anything that exists that basically says "you're not at work, you're on a blissful experience of life" lmao

I know I'm being ridiculous. But there must be something I can take. I've been reading more and more about microdosing and things associated with that, the benefits like clarity and energy.

And yes I know there is the research index tab. I've scrolled through that and read quite a bit of it. It's just hard to connect things together and say okay, that would be ideal.

Has anyone else been in this situation, and what works for you?

I tried to order from everchem and my debit card got locked and declined, I need to know a source that works for debit cards.

Is there a reputable site to order that I can use my card that will ship to the USA for Modafinil??

Hi everyone.I used to buy modalert from many sources and in the last period I only bought from modawhale.to... but all of a sudden no email back, no tracking link , nothing when in the past this guy used to repond to emails like on live chat. Then I tryed neuropeak.to ... the same situation, then I tryed modafinilhub.to... and the same... bassically I made the payments and no links, no answer aswell, wtf is going on? In the last period?

I've seen a couple of these posts in here, so I just wanted to add to the pile. I've been trying to contact Modawhale for the past 2 weeks with no answer. I've tried their website, Telegram and Reddit - nothing ( I even see that they read my Telegram messages...). I can only conclude this now officially a scam site - stay as far away as possible!!!

Due to a denial from health insurance, I was suddenly unable to get an SNRI which had been helping me for 7 months or so. I was on a smaller dose anyway, so I didn't think having to stop it would have this big of an effect, but it certainly was a quick drop off for mood. I went from doing pretty well to being really depressed, irritable, and a couple anxious days thrown in there as well. While the insurance stuff gets sorted out (which could take weeks, if it hopefully resolves), is there anything I can substitute in the meantime for a mood lift?It doesn't take much of a chemical change to throw everything into chaos, I suppose!

I don't like to try balancing things like serotonin on my own, but I do have Saffron supplements on hand. Saffron is serotonergic, I'm pretty sure, but it's also one of those things that takes weeks of consistency to build up. Still, I've been taking an SNRI for 7 months, so maybe saffron could sort of pick up where the SNRI left off? I'm not too optimistic about that, but I don't know what else to try. I also have bromantane, but it's a year old and it never seemed to help me in the first place (which is why I stopped using it). I'm just looking for some patchwork to try and save my mood a little until I can get my medication again. I haven't been eating much, but I've been exercising. Mood has definitely not been good, though, and the brain fog is pretty crazy, too, so I feel I should be proactive instead of trying to ride it out.

I ordered Phenylpiracetam from ruo.bio, and it was NOT clarified anywhere that it was phenylpiracetam hydrazide. I’ve briefly read on neurotoxicity and carcinogenic properties, and figured it was cheaper to produce. Very disappointed as it took almost two weeks for it to arrive, and now I have to bug them about it. Not sure what to do, because I’m not taking something that poses more risk than I’m willing to take.

I’ve battled addiction all my life I’ve cut almost all habits cold turkey but one that has a hold of my dopamine and can’t break is nicotine, I hear 9-ME-BC is great to resort dopamine levels back but I just want to know if there is something out there that can help me get off it, I take NaC but it helps me reduce the amount I abuse in a day but idk it becoming a problem and it’s been years and I know my dopamine is fried

Basically the title, I’ve bought from euro-nootropics but I’ve seen a couple bad posts about them and honestly their rgpu-95 didn’t seem to do jack shit.

Thanks in advance

As the title says. The central nervous system is very complex and can rely on cascades of neurons and rely on multiple signals reaching a single nerve cell.

A neuron can send excitatory or inhibitory sygnals to another neuron.

Exciting an inhibitory neuron will result in more inhibition.

Exciting an excitatory neuron will result in more excitation.

Inhibiting an inhibitory neuron will result in less inhibition.

Inhibiting an excitatory neuron will result in less excitation.

People have also various types of neurons and synapses present in varying proportions and with varying characteristics. This partially explains why different people can have completely different reactions to the same excitatory/inhibitory substances. Glycine might make some people nervous because it inhibits inhibitory signals. Caffeine might make some people sleepy because it excites inhibitory neurons. These reactions are rare at the level of a population, but they are not unheard of.
