Brain Drugs

Anybody here use nootropic drugs to help them focus?

I use piracetam. Stuff helps me remember/gives me enhanced concentration.

Used to use stuff but don't any more - now meditate every day (usu 20 mins, at least 5 minutes) - my focus and concentration is much better, and my mind is a hell of a lot quieter these days.

Oh yeah, that too. I never noticed how loud the background noise in my head was until it went away.

From meditating or using piracetam?

Piracetam. I can't focus enough to meditate.

 

[amateursurgeon]

Piracetam. I can't focus enough to meditate.

hehe, that's like saying you're not strong enough to lift weights.

Nobody can meditate when they start - I'm still crap at it. But it's exactly the same as developing a muscle.

 

[jenzkc]

i use piracetam as well.

 

[xentech]

hehe, that's like saying you're not strong

ROFL, that was the exact analogy I thought of when I read it.

Yeah - Gotu Kola, Vinpocetine, Huperzine A, ginko biloba, and panax ginseng. I take all those + B complex in the morning, and again around mid-afternoon. I definetley notice an increase in memory, concentration, and overall energy.

Also, you can't forget good ol' caffeine.

And I meditate at least 20 minutes a day (vipassana).

 

[this_guy]

I've heard of piracetam. Are you really serious that you feel a difference in concentration level? Is it like drinking a cup of coffee or different?

 

[Lord B]

Does red-bull count as one?

/Me puts my dumb face on.

It's like magic in my brain.

You guys serious about the Piracetam? My Dad swears by Piracetam and Choline, but he's a gullible fucker so I thought it was all placebo effect.

 

[Bogardi]

I actually wrote about it here, I don't do it regularly.

I would like to take up meditation but I just can't find the will power.

 

[mj1133]

It's like magic in my brain.

Seriously, when im on Adderall, im in the fucking zone:updown:

That's crazy, last night I was just thinking... "What if I used adderall when working on campaigns?" And now I come on WF and see this topic... haha I was going to ask this question today.

Do you really use adderall? I've never taken it, but I can't imagine the work I would get done.

Let me put it this way: When I'm not using it, it's like my brain is full of static and wool. When I use it, I'm considerably more alert, my memory is better, and I can concentrate much more than without it.

 

[Bogardi]

Can you get it at drugstores?
