On r/nootropics I am conducting a survey to try to get some aggregate data on how different nootropics work for people.

The end goal is to be able to figure out which substances have a high probability of working for most people, and which substances very rarely work. Secondary goals are to figure out whether substances work differently at different doses or among people who use different dosing schedules.

Although it probably falls short of published-study levels of accuracy, I hope it will be more useful than the traditional method of just asking on a forum "Hey, did this work for you guys?" and getting lots of contradictory answers. I already have about 100 responses but I'd like more for more robust data, so if you have time (10 minutes?) please take it at the link below:

With nearly every single thing we put in our bodies there are positives and potential negatives and we are all different. Yeah, I'd love to learn more about side effects and benefits, along the lines they have with more established substances.

Why there isn't an RX wiki somewhere, listing everything systematically is beyond me. The culture seems more along the lines of word of mouth referrals and scraped together hearsay.

I don't have enough experience to give informed answers as I have just recently started, but I would love to see the data you collect from this when you're finished.

great job, hopefully you will get more results. Hopefully we can keep bumping this up to get more. I always thought the adrafinil/liver issue was overblown but its good to hear 16 others post the same.

Too bad modafinil is tricky to get in USA. I am curious to know what other people stack with adra/mod/armod?
