I take 75mg armodafinil and 30mg noopept every work day. They both help me. Its not like some magic bullet, but thinking, recall and motivation are definitely better.

I started taking them because my doctor put me on effexor for anxiety, and it made me so sleepy and foggy I couldn't code. Both smart drugs really helped clear up the fog in my brain

I was taking 150mg armodafinil but after i finally got off effexor ( a month of hell, dont ever go on that shit! ) I found 75mg was all I needed. I've also tried nefiracetam but I cant say I noticed a difference. I'm thinking of cutting out the armodafinil but not the noopept.

I hear you about the effexor. The only reason I'm still on it is because of the withdrawal effects. Those brain zaps are nasty!

man, fuck those brain zaps.

i dropped down to 35mg for 4 weeks, then started taking them every 2 days for a week, then every 3 days, then i stopped.

When I dropped to the every two days per week period i was taking nefiracetam and also exercising. I still got the brain zaps but it wasnt the full on 'whats going on in my head, make it stop! ouch! fucccckkk!' zap that came with the 75mg doses. it was doable.

nefiracetam supposedly gives you some seretonin so it may of helped there. Its hard to say, im not exactly going to get back on effexor just to see if i can quit them without the nef :O

GOOD LUCK!!!!
