Chicago Brain Boosters- I found a store that carries a variety of nootropics, including all the racetams and vinpo and huperzine etc. It’s next to the Webster movie theater, in Lincoln Park.
I forgot the name but it’s Life something. I went in to checkout the protein powders, I look on the wall behind the checkout and I see the Oxi, Pira, Aniracetams. Ibedenone, which I am going to try. Vinpo.
Now I don’t have to pay shipping and wait forever for delivery. They don’t have or want, online mail order. Just thought I would help the Chitown guys out.
“The two S, R enantiomers of the drug have been independently synthesized, and the latter enantiomer has been determined to be the most pharmacologically active of the two in the CNS through pharmacoketic investigation.(7) Armodafinil, the R-enantiomer of modafinil, has been recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of hypersomnia associated with narcolepsy. Nuvigil® - the commercial name for armodafinil (and manufactured by Cephalon) is expected to replace modafinil as the medication of choice in both the approved and �??off-label�?? uses of the drug.(8)”

Oxiracetam, anyone happen to know where I can buy some of this aside from BN? It is sold out and Physician formula doesnt’ carry it.[/quote]
Whoah!
Looks like this thread has kinda staled out…
The summary I said I’d try and get up a while back has evolved…
Once I started writing, I found I couldn’t stop. It’s now taken the form of a lengthy, tecchy article! I’ll grab excerps from it detailing the more popular noops, and throw them up here
Some more updates on the geranamine front. I’ve experimented a bit more, and I was one who was complaining of a crash, but I took 1g the other day and was wide awake had a good energetic day on our road trip and hike. I added caffeine and Spike to help out with the drive towards the end of the day, and no crash! I’m not sure if my nutrition was more in line or caffeine was present in my system throughout the day. It sure is nice to have some valerian root to put my to sleep so I’m not up all night.
So it seems to me the crash may be dependant on other factors, last nights rest, diet, activity level, etc. Good news for me.
I’ve also just started messing around with phenibut, taking it a couple hours before bed, puts me in a comfortable sleep that night and the night afterwards. I still haven’t experienced the talkative state some people get from it, but I did smoke a joint and I was way out there. My girlfriend was driving me around and I opened a beer and starting drinking. Not something I usually would do on the road, but I almost forgot I was in the car. She noticed right away, I was like sorry don’t know what got into me. Also, others have talked about messing around with their friends more, I did experience this when they were watching the tube, I was pushing them around annonying them. Jury is still out on the phenibut, I need to use it a few more times.
That’s what I’m looking for…something to make me more talkative. What are some good supps to help with that? I have a hard time initiating conversation. People usually think I’m stuck up or cocky until they get to know me.
Then they’re like, wow, I just assumed you were a prick. lol (I’m actually just a little shy and have that anxiety around new people, especially groups.)

Yellow Spike pills, if you haven’t tried them.[/quote]
Those are stimulants, right? Won’t they make my anxiety worse? How long do the effects last? Is there any kind of a crash?

Last time I used phenibut , I was downright obnoxious. . I was messing w/ people like I would if I was drunk–touching that is. I was also on the top of my brain game. I was very clever… and using wit to own my friends all night …and one actually got up and left and told me to fuck off. haha… i had alot of fun that night. He later told me he overreacted. Def. felt the nootropic effects that night …on about 2 grams. Lasted 5 hours.

No crash, a few hours, and you’ll have to find out about the anxiety for yourself. If you’re talking about anxiety specifically surrounding social situations - no I doubt it would make it worse.

I would be wary of using any type of drugs as a crutch for your social fears or as a recreational thing. Because even though these are relatively safe no drug is going to fix your social fears (well, mdma is great for it. But its not permanent). I believe it would be better for you to overcome your fear, as well as the arsehole persona that you put up and work on your social skills. While you can. Even if these things do make you more talkative, that talkative might not be a good thing socially.
While i can’t tell you what to do with your money or your brain, i would like to point out that these things may help with your life overall. But they arnt toys, recreational drugs, or magic bullets for your life.
Sorry if i sound condescending. Its just my opinion after using pills, and crystal to overcome my own social problems.

Besides relentless improvement, where else would you guys recommend getting the racetams? Or any Nootropic for that matter?[/quote]
RI has a bad reputation on some forums. Though some people like them. I personally use Uniquenutrition.net (Not .com!!!) as well as BN. Unfortunately, UN no longer stock oxiracetam. Apparently due to price rises and shortages. =( But they still have lots of cool stuff on offer.
I looking for some stuff to help me with nervousness. I get really nervous around girls, and in front of my boss.
Also does anyone know of anything that can help with leg strength? My legs are proportionately weaker than my upper body.
I’m also not that good a dancer, any advice?
My dick leans slightly to the left…
Learning stuff is really hard…
My guitar playing is not what it should be…

I’m actually becoming more of a fan of phenibut. Just a little bit (250mg BN Brand) puts me in a more “forceful” sleep. Great for times when I’m stressed, training to much, or jacked up at night for whatever reason. However higher doses basically make me lightly buzzed.
I’m beginning to give 5-HTP a run. So far have only taken 50mg at night, all it really did was make me slightly tired earlier then normal. What doses have you guys used it at?
Has anyone messed around with L-Theanine? I enjoy green tea so I’m thinking of borrowing the amino from it to see how it works. Combine all of these and you got yourself some Z-12 lol.
L-Theanine is awesome! I use a brand from my nutritionist(let me know if you want me to look it up). I take 200mg in the morning and same in the p.m. Much more relaxed and focused, but not sleepy.
