My current nootropic stack is:

* Pramiracetam 500mg * Alpha GPC 50% 600mg * Noopept 10mg * Agmatine Sulfate 500mg

I am convinced that these chemicals work, improve mental ability, memory/recall and focus. Ive found myself able to handle more task simultaneously, even able to understand to multiple conflicting conversations.

If you can handle the awful taste of Pramiracetam (its bad... probably the worst thing ive ever tasted) you may find quite the boost in awareness. Some may find it too intense. In general nootropics are non-addictive, especially with the awful taste of Pram, you might need to force yourself to take them...

Thanks for this! Didn't know about Pramiracetam, and it seems I can get it online.

I'm already taking Modafinil, so I might experiment with taking Pramiracetam as well, see if I can get an extra boost.

Give it a try! Do stack it with Alpha GPC, you will need a cholinergic compound with the racetam family or else you will get headaches.
Wow, I'm honestly impressed with the level of experimentation you are willing to do on yourself. Do you have good enough confidence/knowledge to be sure you will not damage yourself for the long term?
As far as nootropics go, his choices are on the conservative side. Racetams have a relatively good safety profile, and Choline is naturally found in common food.

Yes, but that doesn't mean the form found in supplements is the same. Also, "the dose makes the poison."

In the Nineties, Wired and Mondo 2000 were good for piquing interest in nootropics but as they didn't seem to catch on (aside from off-label use of pharmaceuticals like Adderall), I put them in the same mental bin as all supplements; not worth one's time except for individuals who have documented deficiencies.

Yes, I do.
Really? Downvoting a comment because of something I might or might not do with my life?
