I use 800 mg oxi w/ 800 mg ani together for studying.
I like to take an 800 mg dose of ani twice daily as a maintenance dose, and the 3rd dose is as-needed

I was curious about that product, but realized that all of the ingredients are just drawn out chemical names for more common ingredients. Taurine, glycine, acetyl-L-carnitine, phenibut, and whatever cyclohexane-1-6-hexol is supposed to be.
All in all I’d say you’re better off buying all the individual ingredients.

Damn. Well, I’m glad you pointed that out sooner rather than later. Thanks for that.
Out of curiosity, have you taken it by itself? Can you party without alcohol as they claim? Hahaha.
I’ve taken taurine (2ASA as they call it) sublingually and felt pretty cracked out. They claim their special formulation is effective at a much lower dose. But taurine is cheap.

are you talking about the free amino acid taurine? how did it make you feel cracked out?
I said cracked out for want of a better term. It’s hard to describe. Sort of a drunk clarity.
The U4EA write-up recommends 5-10g of taurine under your tongue to see how it affects you. That’s why I tried it. I haven’t been able to find anything else on taurine megadosing though.
I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet in this thread, but I tried Kratom tonight.
It was extremely calming (more so than any dose of benzos). I suppose blissful is a better word. Combined with a stimulant, I think it would pretty much be the ultimate productivity stack.
The downside was that after its effects wore off I became extremely depressed for about 3 hours.
Not sure what to say to that Thomas, lol.
Hey guys, I just want to say that I’m constantly amazed at how this thread took off, and maintains a momentum, and level of discussion, that is truly amazing for this site.
And I’m proud to have started, and engaged in it, amongst some extremely sharp, and open minded people. It has surpassed my wildest dreams of what it might end up providing myself, and others. It seriously kicks ass, and that is because of the serious discussion, and open mindedness, with which said discussion has been engaged in on it.
Many thanks to all of you,

What’s all this then about L-Dopa? I thought this was banned years ago, from the 70’s “Durk Pearson/Sandy Shaw/Life Extention/Mega-Dose Arginine-Ornithine is better than D-Bol” hype days(?)…For the geezer over 50 crowd, the alleged GH boosting claims of LD would be of interest, so is this available (and works) or what?..
Also: I’ve been running Piracetam @ 800mg in the AM with my morning HBP meds, aminos & Tyrosine: and dont feel jack (prior to the high speed freeway commute in to work, avoiding caffiene/stims due to HBP)…Do I need to up my dose, or just drop it?..

Snake,
Sounds like you’re looking for a mild stim?
If so, why not try some oxiracetam, it has that quality you might be looking for. I apologize if I’m way off, haven’t been here for a long time and haven’t read back the latest.
850-900mg worked great for me.

Whoa that’s a lot of ani. Most I ever needed was 2 x 200mg.

200 mg of just ani doesn’t do anything for me, I need about 1/4 teaspoon (640mg of BN brand) to get a good effect. Guess it’s that individual tolerance thing.
Speaking of BN the phenibut capsules I recently bought from them were of pretty poor quality so I recommend staying away from that brand for awhile.
I always go for the bulk powders, so of course I tend to take more than the standard dosing written on the bottle. I guess that it’s a safe assumption that BN uses the same batch in capsules as what they pack in for bulk powders. Any idea where the base mixes are coming from, and why the potency would be so varied or of poor quality? I just took a 1/2 tsp. dose of it with food and noticed the effects very quickly.
Fellas Im loving this thread. Best ever.
Its inspired me to dive into nootropics.
I’ve done the fish oil thing for awile now, several years. Its a great start.
I’ve now jumped into Power Drive from this here site, and I’m loving it. Been almost a week and it definitely ramps things up.
I’m also trying to cut back on caffeine intake, any suggestions? I was drinking 2 20oz coffees a day, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon. I did that for years. For the past month I cut it down to one 20 oz in the morning. The past week since I started Power Drive, Im drinking just one 12 oz in the morning.
Yesterday I tried going without it at all, but got a moderate headache(I never get headaches FYI). Im assuming I will probably have to stay on 12 oz coffee once a day for awhile, maybe another month, then drop it to 6oz, then nothing.
Either way Power Drive kicks ass so far.
How do you all take pira? I have powder, and just wondering about your delivery methods.
And what’s all your current stacks?
does this seem like a good product:
Yeah, it is. You can get that at Bulk Nutrition. I bought it last year and it was a good investment. For me, Aniracetam for the same company is quicker and more effective, but you’re not me or vice versa so give it a shot and see what happens.
