I tried the racetams but they don't do anything for me. Modafinil does work though but tolerance develops quickly.

Caffeine of course is still #1 for me in terms of efficacy. I'm not desperate enough to use harder stimulants like ephedrines or amphetamines or phenethylamines etc.

And that's the thing about these, you try some, find out what works for you. I don't see anything ethically wrong with taking a brain booster if it improves your performance at work. If you can do that instead of burning out and you really love your job, why not?
