Got exams coming up within the next couple of weeks, and finding i’m just needing something to give me a bit of an edge when it comes to studying, especially with large amounts of information to remember (i’m a final year law student). I’ve never taken anything like this before, so to be quite honest i’m pretty clueless about what to try.
I’ve heard good things about Oxiracetam, which I am considering trying. However, someone has recommended Neurostim from Mind Nutrition to me - which contains Aniracetam, Vinpocetine and DMAE. Would this be a better choice to use than just Oxiracetam on its own?
I’d appreciate any advice people would be willing to give.
EDIT: In short, my reading from the BFB thread has led me to believe that the DMAE, vinpo, and aniracetam are better to begin with, and that oxi should only be added on top of those once tolerance has built up.
Cheers for the reply, I did have a flick through the various threads but wasn’t sure on the effectiveness of DMAE, vinpo and aniracetam together in comparison to oxiracetam - thanks for your reply
Effectiveness of a compound will vary from individual to individual, as well as dose to dose, so if something is proving to be ineffective for you, it may be that you don’t respond to it, or you need to dial in the dose.
Also keep in mind that many nootropics work synergistically, therefore requiring a smaller dose to elicit the desired response.
It’s mainly volume of data to be honest, got most of the concept stuff down already so primarily for memorising essays etc - I take it you cannot take both at once?

Yes, use an anti-nootropic. Great idea.

BBB - is it possible to take both Neurostim and Oxi simultaneously? Or is this a recipie for disaster?[/quote]
No, it’s a superhuman stack, for sure!

Hmmm, might have to try it then
After Buffd Samurai’s post about his stack I’m planning to experiment a bit. Shame MN don’t sell piracetam… Any other water soluble racetams out there?

I was under the impression that oxi is more “memory enhancing”, whereas piracetam and ani are more “focus enhancing”, which is what I’m looking for. Or is the difference between the results not that huge?

Care to elaborate BBB? I have some friends who swear by these (both friends who were prescribed and friends who have prescribed themselves lol)? [/quote]
They swear by them because they are lazy asses, who need amphetamine to get them studying, haha!
OK, maybe not, but seriously, amphetamines are what I call ‘anti-nootropics’ because really, they mimic catacholamines and catacholamines inhibit the hippocampus. They also atrophy the hippocampus in the long run - which is why old people (reduced androgens, therefore elevated cortisol) suffer from impaired memory. Or partly, anyway
So whilst you might be motivated to study, that study won’t be as effective as it should be, because cortisol/catacholamines will be eating away at your memory centre.
Look for a more detailed response on MN, soon.

Thank you sir, I’m looking forward to the detailed response. I’m hoping I’ll have more than enough nootropic aid through Neurostim and Biotest’s brain candy when that comes out

I was just responding to your question. Ani and oxi have different purposes.
Your best bet would be to find a way to get some pira, or just chew some nuts with your ani.
That’s what I do.
