I've tried everything, and the only things that make any noticeable difference in my experience:

Modafinil, Racetams, Noopept, Phenibut

Noopept seems to be curiously missing from this list?

Yeah noopept is legit. Its effects on learning, recall, and organization of thoughts are significant.
Phenibut will FUCK you up. Ever take a big dose? Its like being piss drunk.

Very fun substance also nasty as fuck and undoubtably bad for your brain. (I got weird neurological "withdrawal" symptoms after like 3 days of taking it)

I've hospitalized myself from an accidental overdose on it, don't have to tell me lol.

Spent 8 continuous hours vomiting with the worst nausea I've ever felt in my life.

Lesson hard learned. I've been using Phenibut for nearly 10 years, I only take it on the weekends.

I quite enjoy high doses, feels much better than drinking without negative physical side effects. I don't drink alcohol in general, to be honest.

It causes next-day depression for me. Could only be purely recreational.
