Hi All!
I am brand new here and new to cognitive enhancers. Is there a definitive reading that anyone can recommend just so I can get a basic understanding of the receptors, inhibitors, etc. Thank you kindly and I look forward to reading as many posts on this fascinating forum as I can... |

Unfortunately, there are no definitive readings, and never will be. Each individual responds differently, and thus science (dealing with averages) is not representative of the individual. I am however working on a guide to nootropics, but will not be done for several months. Note this is a guide, not anything definitive.

Hi. I've been reading the forum for over 5 hours now. I'm 45, mom, student , and everything else that goes along w it. The 2 products I've been reading about that seem to offer the most enhancing (brain power) is piracetam (a synthetic?) and Tianeptine ( a ssre). Yes I know these 2 are apples and oranges bit aren't the long term affects od synthetics worse for your body? I feel like I can't focus or think anymore... It's like what is happening to me? I need to be clear, focused and on target. Any thoughts? Also, should I discontinue caffeine before starting say piracetam? Thanks

What do you mean by synthetic? Tianeptine is every bit as synthetic as piracetam, but far more potentially harmful.

Sorry - see having a hard time even writing a post. What I meant is nootropic versus ssre. I'm learning, but this is a new arena for me. Thanks. |

Most products claiming to be nootropic are not. The definition of a nootropic has become rather adulterated. Piracetam is a nice safe bet. The effects are not very noticeable however, and that is the point! By definition, you should not be able to notice the effects of a true nootropic.
