Nootropics, brain enhancement, self improvement and biohacking general

In this thread we discuss various methods of self-improvement, with emphasis on objects closely related to biohacking and cyberphunking.
We welcome anybody, whether he is an unmotivated kid, or whether he is an outstanding individual with distinguished taste in reverse engineering who wants to perform harder.

If you always considered yourself smart but lazy, we've already been over your problem and we know solutions.
If you wish to stay sane in front of a shell for 13 continuous hours instead of 12, start here.

>>>Nootropics
>The Guardian: Narcolepsy medication modafinil is world's first safe 'smart drug'
>theguardian.com/science/2015/aug/20/narcolepsy-medication-modafinil-worlds-first-safe-smart-drug

Nootropics are substances that in most cases improve your cognition or performance of your neurotransmitters. Your brain's processing power simply speaking. Some make you remember better, some make you happier and more motivated by inhibiting dopamine, some make you think faster, some help depression. They might as well make you a fan of the Limitless movie.

Keep in mind that your daily coffee, green tea or creatine monohydrate are considered nootropics. If you wish to be pointed to a magic pill with 16 hours half-life that might make you a monster *safely* - see link above or do your own research.

>>>We encourage
- Consulting your doctor first
- Critical thinking and/or whitepapers
- Boycotting Big Pharma and ordering your Rx from India
- Eating your vegetables like a good boy, but throwing away the breakfast bread
- Putting great thought into trivial things, such as eating your vegetables
- Long-term safety
- Staying productive and motivated for 18 hours or longer
- Questions that you were always afraid to ask

>>>We discourage
- Not consulting your doctor first
- Getting 'begging for a prescription' mixed up with 'consulting'
- Mycotoxins. Ask Case if he eats wheat

We are neutral about being one's own lab rat.

>>>Modafinil
brand names: Modvigil, Modalert, Provigil
Bought cheap from India, best imported to EU through parcel forwarding services in UK. Requires a prescription if you want to buy it locally.
If you wan't to just try modafinil, it is easier to obtain adrafinil which does not require a prescription. Works almost the same way. Make sure to consult your doctor first.

Firstly, don't do anything that breaks the law. The best thing you can do is to get your hands on Rx drugs from India.
Secondly, don't be an idiot and don't order anything from *.onion

Hello,

Unfortunately, stringent import norms prevent us from shipping directly to your country [Poland]. You can opt to use a mail forwarder like Skypax and have them forward our products to you. Skypax has a very high delivery rate when used correctly.

Here’s a guide to using their services:
1. Go to Skypax.com.
2. Choose “UK Parcel Forwarding Service -> Click to Order"
3. Fill out the required information and check out.
4. You should receive a “suite number” and the delivery address in the UK. The cost is roughly $20.
5. Go back to **********.com and process your order using the Skypax suite address for the delivery address.

The package should arrive to the Skypax suite within 4-7 days. They’ll notify you once they have the package. You can them just choose what forwarding option you want. That will cost another $30-40.

Please declare a value of not more than US$15 for the shipment.

From the Skypax suite to your address, it should take another 1-3 days for the delivery.

Signed ******

should I buy these? I like effects of caffeine but coffee makes my tummy sing. Green tea is nice but matcha powder is too expensive for me.
Will caffeine + l-theanine stack me into a thinking man?

Caffeine anhydrous might be better for you and cheaper.
Green Tea is so tasty for me that I never considered switching it to pills

>soy lecithin
>l-arginine
>maca
>zinc
>pygeum
>nofap for 2 weeks

thank me later

Do you want me to cum buckets famalam?

I'm old af and want to caution you fucks against modafonil and amphetamines. Addiction is fuck all sucky. No job, or college or grade is worth it. When you get old af, you will see how short sighted you were. You will realize very little of the shit you felt pressure to do matters. Don't be a tweaking cuck. I can barely pay attention to these arrogant nootropic dudes on YouTube. They are self possessed cucks

Yup, agreed with user. Have been addicted to stims before, and always tried to push myself through nootropic shit and prescriptions. They can help, sure, but they aren't a magical fix for everything thing shitty going on in life. They are going to make your problems go away; the biggest nootropic in life is your behavior and habits. That shit takes work and patience to change, no pill is going to remedy that for you.

How old are you?
What is your experience with nootropics?
What did you abuse in the past?

what you need is to microdose LSD. lasts all day and is better and cheaper than all the snake oil you see on here.

Experience is they start great and that's how it subtly fucks you. It's alternative reality productivity, but it's very short lived. You'll want more and harder stuff. Then addiction. Addiction is baffling. Everything you've been taught gets put on its head. Willpower and strength and intelligence won't help. It's hard to explain till you're in it.

Tried provigal, Adderall, concerta, dexadrie, coke. You think you're all sophisticated until you realize you're just another dumb tweaker like anyone else.

Dam....
What did he mean by this ....

bring that energy into your brain, trust me buddy

I am on:
Modafinil 200mg
Noopept 2x30mg
CDP-Choline (a teaspoon)
Caffeine

pic related is how you gonna feel

>ordering your Rx from India
Nah man, i don't want poop in my body.

>Sup Forums - Technology
>nootropics

I tried all kinds of nootropics and they didn't have any effect on me. Even the ones that were supposedly dangerous and which have withdrawal symptoms. I guess I'm just immune.
