97% percent on my business statistics mid term yesterday.

Word and formula recall was just “there”. I cannot explain it otherwise.

Congrats :][/quote]

Thanks Duddy. 2 1/2 weeks of DMAE and Vinpo everyday and about 3 weeks of Power Drive I think is starting to kick in. It seems like whatever mechanism that is involved in word recall seems “sped up”, so to speak. Nothing major, I would probably need one of the racetams for that, but its a nice subtle effect so far.

A cool little trick I started today that I really like - I went out yesterday and bought one of those protein shakers, the good kind with the metal shaker inside - http://www.blenderbottle.com/

I dump 2.5g of creatine and 1/2 serving of Power Drive in this bad boy with a scoop of protein powder, and sip on it during the morning through the afternoon.

Man there’s a whole thread about the blender bottles! I’ve been using for a year now and love it.

The other night after deciding to try Superfood for fun, I mixed Superfood, Power Drive, 4 scoops protein and lemonade mix/water. I used it to help swallow 1 g piracetam in 10 pills haha!

I LOVE THE BLENDER BOTTLE.

2 days in with it and this thing is the coolest little gadget I’ve bought in a long time.

Conversation speed and fluidity is straight off the chart right now.

Has anyone else noticed aniracetam making them dizzy?

I thought I had enough food in my stomach and was properly hydrated, but sometimes it makes me a little dizzy.

I noticed this with Piracetam. Hmm… I wonder why?

Maybe the dosage is too high for us?

Exactly. I noticed the first time I started taking 30mg Vinpo a day, due to rapidly increased blood flow in the cerebral area, I was a little “off”.

It is of utmost important guys that you start with a LOW, LOW dose and work your way up.

I know the general dose for Pira is 4800mg a day.

To start, I would go with 2400mg, split into 2 doses, 1200 first thing than another 1200. Always with food to slow absorbtion even more.

You can always increase the dose as you go along.

nope, im starting out with a meezly dose of 500 mg’s.

Yeah, for me 5 mg of vinpo seems optimal for me…I have tried to take 10 mgs several times and I just get some lightheadedness.

Perhaps low blood pressure? Next time I get dizzy I’m going to check my BP.

Full Serving Power Drive
10mg Vinpo 3 times a day
150mg DMAE

So I score a 97 out of 100 on my stats exam last week. I mention something about brain drugs to my classmates, and now they all call me a cheater :slight_smile:

I’ve got ridiculous brain energy in the classroom right now. Don’t seem to be fatiguing out much towards the latter end of classes like everyone else.

can anyone suggest any websites that I might be able to order some of these supplements off of?

dude you need to try pira. im taking like sixth of a regular dose a day and its still amazing! and its really really helping my social anxiety a lot. i also think you should keep your brain drugs to yourself, i know i dont want to be called a cheater… and plus it just makes you look better with out them knowing ;]

hows the Power Drive working out for you? any anxiety issues from the tya?

I feel truly lucky I got to know about noops. So I sent a few people a link about Power Drive and Vinpo. Hey I don’t mind a little competition. Secrets don’t make friends right?

Yea, Racetams are something I’m looking to get into next. I figured one thing at a time though. I’m saving those goodies for down the road. I’ve only been using Power Drive for a month, vinpo+dmae for a little over 3 1/2 weeks. Its the home stretch in my semester, with finals coming up in weeks and final projects to be completed, I honestly don’t want to do anything new to shake up the flow I’m in now. I will probably look at the racetams maybe for next year.

Tyrosine and anxiety? Well start slow. I started off at 1g, then 1.5, now 3g. Secondly, take it with food. This is a biggie. A must. It will slow absorbtion big time, and prevent a rush of tyrosine flooding in. Plus, I also find that avoiding other stims, like caffeine, is huge. HUGE. I honestly think it probably was more of a synergistic combination of caffeine + tyrosine that gave me anxiety, not really tyrosine as much solo. Watch out, caffeine is in everything too. When I gave up coffee, I found myself munching on chocolate all the time.

Hey dennis,

I get my Power Drive from this site, and I get DMAE and Vinpo from Lef.org

I know alot of guys get stuff from physician formulas and bulk nutrition.

Make sure you read this whole thread, many links and places to order are provided, as well as general info.

I have just ordered some Phenylpiracetam based upon good reviews. I have only to this point messed around with Adrafinil (I love it!), see my posts in the middle of this thread if you are interested.

I took a measured scientific approach to administering (sp?) and tracking what it did for me. Now it has become a backup pick me up for when i need it (I always have some in my cupboard).

I find this is great for presentations, long work nights, and beating the fatigue of a high stress job (although not every day).

With the Phenylpiracetam I will post in the same manner, almost every day. I will eliminate almost all drugs from my system (I actually have been doing this for a month in preparation just in case of lingering effects).

I feel that this is the best way to provide almost unbiased info pertaining to an untested substance for me. The only compounds I will be taking on the regular will be my staple supplements of fish oil and vitamin D.

Stay tuned,

awesome! cant wait to hear back from you.

Make sure to get a choline supplement so you don’t get headaches.

In response to the question of where to order nootropics:

Americannutrition.com, Bushi recommended this site to me its great.

For people living outside of the U.S. (I live in Australia), ordering supplements from the U.S., what method of postage do you use? The price varies considerably to say the least.
Great thread. I’m going to start with some Vinpo first.
