Been using nootropics for about three and a little more years, on and off. Tried many many things, used to be on vyvanse/adderal/modifinil - never again!
My old journals:
Short term energy and focus, long-term brain growth stack
Building a perfect Modifinil stack
Suffice to say:
Used to Noopept & Piracetam.
Never really branched out from those two awesome ingredients.. but now I am!
One thing I hated about Noopept: It caused me to forget a LOT, a ton of shit was always "on the tip of my tongue" and it only got worse and worse.. After a sustained use of using Noopept, I started forgetting where I was putting stuff and where I was going midway - it started getting noteworthy and scary, so I dropped it and my memory got 100% better.
So, I'm done use noopept.

This journal is of me using:
Everyday standard - Used all of this stuff before
Lion's Mane - 1600mg per day
Fish oil - 2,100mg Omega-3 per day
Phosphatidylserine - 100mg per day
PQQ
COQ10
Zinc-Carnosine
Full spectrum Vitamin Bs
Everyday standard nutrition
- About 2 cups of homemade kefir
- Cup of homemade bone broth (10hr slow cooked)
- GAPS diet
Exercise every other day (have been for a few years)
Sleep at least 8 hours a day
Just listed some of that to show you that I treat myself right!
OKAY! - The stuff i'm experimenting with!
I've taken Oxiracetam 3 times so far @ different dosages.
1 time by itself at 800mg. I felt really focused, higher conceptual functioning, great energy like I took a shot of espresso.
1 time with Piracetam. Piracetam 1600mg and Oxiracetam 800mg. I took the piracetam a few hours after and I felt overstimulated, like I was ADHD. Then as the piracetam settled in, I felt very focused and I took a shot of espresso and felt extremely engaged with work.. I mean, my focus and understanding was increased by A LOT.
1 time Oxiracetam 250mg with Coluracetam 15mg Sublingual. - This is what i'm on right now. I feel very energy and focused, no over-stimulation.
My experiences so far
Oxiracetam at 800mg is fucking amazing.

Some notes:
Oxiracetam feels like the cleanest energy that I have ever had from a supplement before. I don't feel a crash from it, I don't feel like a different person on it, but I DO feel more focused, more energetic, and more conceptually sound. And it works so amazingly synchronous with caffeine.
Coluracetam = need to do more testing! Just got it today :P
I wanna better decipher the difference between oxiracetam piracetam stack & oxiracetam coluracetam stack.
