Hello all, new to the board with some experience in nootropics.

I am 34 year old white male, 6’7 275lbs. Ex-athlete. I exercises and eat healthy when I can. I do need to quit smoking (tobacco)

I have been interested in nootropics and neuroscience since I was 19. Started out with the OTC stuff like, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St johns wart. Tried St Johns Wart when I was about 22yo and it worked great. (Put me in a good mood with a positive outlook on things)

I have used.

Piracetam, when I was about 26yo, worked great. Put me in a good mood and I was always ready to start my day off positive and alert. I would just get so busy with things I would forget to take all the doses throughout the day.

Vasopressin, when I was about 27yo, worked great. I would take it once or twice a week when needed. A side effect I did not expect was that I stopped smoking for nine months. (With a 2 month supply of Vasopressin)

Looking to improve mild depression, Increase motivation, sex drive, and mood (positive outlook).

I have recently purchased:
1 bottle, Selepryl 12ml 300 LIQUID
1 bottle, Vinpocetine 50 x 5mg TABS

In the past I have wanted to try Deprenyl, but I always thought I was too young.
I was thinking of starting with Selepryl 1mg every other day to start?
I’m not sure how to work in the Vinpocetine? (was thinking 5mg daily)

Any thoughts?

While not the best choices I would suggest 5 mg of deprenyl on weekdays if you prefer you can start as low as 1 mg every day. Vinpocetine is effective at 30-40 mg day.

Thanks LM, Are you suggesting 5mg a day because of my size? (275lbs). From the research I have done, I would think because of my age (34) I should start out at 1mg/day?

While not the best choices?....would like to know your thoughts on what might be a better choice! (Increase motivation, sex drive, and mood, positive outlook)

1 mg would be not enough for anyone over 18 who has depression of any degree. I would suggest 5-10 mg for yourself cycled off weekends if you actually want to feel an effect from it. I prefer the tabs since the liquid form is unstudied and not approved anywhere as a drug or used in clinical research.

Wanted to say thanks for the response. And say I have decided against the Deprenyl for now.

I know I put depression, but I would consider it more of feeling like I was in a "rut". I have decided to use what has worked in the past (Piracetam) and have decided to add some Alpha GPC this time around.

It has worked great; I feel much better and have a better outlook on things. It has been a couple of days now and the only problem is staying up a little later than normal (maybe the caffeine, talked about in my other post) or maybe because I really get into the reading at night and don’t stop till I’m done…lol
