Do anybody here know if ephedrine can be used as a nootropic? If yes, does the pseudoephedrine that we can extract from paracetamol has nootropic effect too?
What kind of nootropic effects would you desire?
I think that low doses of ephedrine might make you more productive/alert if you are tired, and I would keep the dose at about 10/20mg.
More than that and you might get too affected from the adrenaline.
No more than Caffeine in a truly meaningful way. Don't get me wrong, it's a superior stimulant in my opinion, but by like a 15% margin maybe. Definitely not worth the time spent extracting the drug from pills.
