just some observations on my 3rd day of 1 pill of neurostim per day. i will be adding a 2nd pill 4-6 hours later actually, as i noticed the effects wearing off around that time.

  • increased concentration and focus. MEGA bonus. no more reading over a paragraph 3 times cause my mind is elsewhere and im not absorbing what im reading. driving is on a whole 'nother level too, it feels like im connected more and can predict other stupid moves drivers make. i can foresee every move im going to make in traffic as well.

  • my head feels…heavy? lol. feel slight tingling the first 5-10 minutes after a dose. im guessing the increased blood flow from the vinpo.

  • music…what can i say about this. it sounds… better? i can dissect every word and note. its honestly fucked up man lol.

  • colours. trees and scenery look more vibrant and brighter. wth? lol

  • TALKATIVE. endless topics come into my head to yap about, whereas before i would always draw blanks.

  • havent really felt the anxiolytic yet, or maybe i just havent noticed it.

  • neurostim combined with 500mg ALCAR and 500mg tyrosine before my workout with a cup of coffee…holy motherufcking shit!! better than any preworkout ive spent $60 on!! mind muscle connection was unreal. focus lasted the whole workout. i just kept doing more and more without even thinking.

honestly, GREAT, GREAT, GRRRRRRREAT STUFF!! thanks to BBB, mattyg35, and all the rest in this thread for the great info![/quote]

Hahaha, nice!

Always gives me a buzz to see someone have such strongly-postitive effects.

Embrace that shit, brother!

oh im embracing it alright! gonna use the extra focus to make some money in the stock market :slight_smile: which is exactly what i wanted it for :slight_smile:

also i took your advice and felt that my body was “ready” for 2 pills as a dose. i took 2 caps with my bacon and eggs (also 2g fish oil and a vitamin b complex) about 20 minutes ago. lets see where this ride takes me.

706

some observations so far (day 4):

  • falling asleep much easier. it used to take at least 30-45 mins of lying in the dark to fall asleep. now as soon as i turn off the lights im out cold.

  • waking up right away, no more lying there falling asleep still hitting snooze on my alarm 20 times. also feel much more rested upon waking.

  • increased muscle tone. what the? yea surprised me too. apparently an acetylcholine deficiency decreases muscle tone though. thanks DMAE. (BBB is this bogus?)

dose is now 2 caps neurostim.
other supplements ive been taking for a while:
4g fish oil
30mg zinc, 450mg magnesium, 100mg 5HTP before bed
multivitamin
4000iu vitamin d
2-4g vitamin c

Hi Guys,

I am glad to see that after years this thread is still going strong. Since Brain Function Boosters got me started on noops, drastically changing my life, I thought I would share my experience hoping that you guys will find it useful.

Before starting with nootropics I was a less than average university student. Now I am at the top of every class I’m taking (top 1%), and I’ve been at the top for the past 18 months and whilst it is true that I improved A LOT in terms of lifestyle and study habits, and that I had to work insanely hard, I think nootropics played a big role.

I’ve been on nootropics since I first read about it 2 year ago at the beginning of this thread and I’ve been on ever since experimenting with different substances and dosages.

I am currently on (and I’ve been for the past 6 months):

Aniracetam 600 x 2
Choline Bitartrate 400 x 2
Vinpocetine 15 x 2

From this stack I experience improvements in:
-short and long term memory
-verbal skills,
-logic and parallel thinking,
-creativity,
-focus
-social behaviour
-anti anxiety effect
-ability to handle high pressure situations almost heroically
-shapes/space/color/sound perception

Under the influence of nootropics I feel wired only under the influence of Oxiracetam whilst Ani is much more subtle and intellectually enjoyable, it takes a while to learn to feel it and appreciate it.

Also the stack makes studying foreign languages MUCH easier (I’ve studied English and currently studying Spanish). I’ve scored 9 in the IELTS ( max score in standardized English test) and I am at the top of the class in Spanish as well prepping for a standardized test.

I’ve substituted from the “original BBB stack” DMAE with Choline bitartrate as the latter seems to work better for me. I feel much more clear headed and sharp.

Also in all this time I’ve experimented a lot going as up as 3g/day of ani (I suggest you try it if you have a free evening and some complementary THC) and as low as 300mg. 600mg 2xday seems to be the sweet spot for me. Also in the past I tried that stack 3 x day and noticed no added benefit but that could be due to the fact that I do all my studying in the first half of the day so I wouldn’t have a way to measure the benefits of the third dose.

Something else I have quite a bit of experience with is Oxiracetam I tried anything from 100mg to 12g per day and have found different useful dosages depending on what it is that I have to do.

Some other things I’ve experimented with include from the top of my head:

Caffeine (up to 1g/day)
Ephedrine
Yohimbine
Modafinil
Tyrosine
Bacopa
5 htp
Melatonin
ALCAR
Rhodiola Rosea
Sulbutiamine
Phenibut
Valerian
ZMA

Just my 2 cents, hope you guys will find it useful. Please feel free to ask any question.

Glad you liked it BBB afterall you inspired everything, thanks :slight_smile:

Are you up to something new those days? I was doing some reading on Pramiracetam. Unfortunately my supplier is out of business. :°

711

well, 2 caps of neurostim REALLY spaced me out. i was focused but spaced out at the same time. i found myself just staring at the wall for 2-3 minutes between sets before i realized it was time to go again. im going back to 1 cap 2x per day lol.

any reason why it would space me out like that?

well you assumed 840mg of ani…it seems quite normal to me :slight_smile:

713

Questions on scales and capping. What machines and caps work best for everyone? I currently just keep the tubs of ani/peri/oxi/dmae/… under my desk, and use a 1 gram scoop to pick out dosage. I’d like to start capping in order to make it easier to travel and a little less conspicuous. As well as allowing me to be more precise on dosage. I’ve read about using flour to get proper packing, but was wondering what equipment is working for others.

haha ok just making sure. went back to a single pill and all is good. although i dont get the tingling, heavy feeling in my head anymore, that i got the first 3 doses. just a real focus, kind of like a tunnel vision for whatever im working on.

715

Just ordered 45g of Ani, 500g of DMAE, and a little over 20g of Oxi. These will be the first “true” nootropics for myself. Hopefully i’ll have a good response to them. Everything else I’ve been taking seems to be more or less a staple for keeping the brain healthy and clear.

716

Here’s my issue.

I was doing the BBB stack of Ani, DMAE, Vinpo. This worked amazing for about a month than I ran out- took two weeks off. Now the Ani is making me depressed so I tried Piracetam - that made me manic, so I finally I tried oxi and that makes my head hurt than makes me sleepy. WTF is going on? things were going so well for that month now all the racetams are turning against me. I’m on no other medications, no other rec drugs at all for years. Event stopped the pyritinol and sulbutamine.

Anyone’s advice on where to proceed from here would be beyond valuable!

Please elaborate. Did you run out of all the noops simultaneously or just one?

Ani without DMAE wasn’t good for me. Combined, they’re awesome.

On another note: My parents found my noops.

And I think I won the ensuing debate.

I am not sure about ani and depression but what you’re experiencing with Oxi is absolutely normal. You can handle it 2 ways:

  1. lower the oxi dosage and find your sweet spot (sometimes I use as little as 200mg with good results)

or

  1. up choline (or dmae) drastically in ratio 1:1 with oxi and then take another shot of choline (or dmae) about 90 mins later I’d say 70-80% of the choline dose you took with oxi.
    If you opt for the second approach I suggest take some food with choline as high dosages might upset your stomach.

let me know if it works :slight_smile:

719

btw guys could somebody point me toward a good EUROPEAN source of piracetam? (and hopefully pramiracetam)

I’ve found a lot of sites but have no info on reliability or quality :confused:

Where should I purchase Neurostim from. I google searched, amazon discontinued it, and the only other supplier I have found is in the UK. Thanks guys.
