Hi. I'm starting winter semester in a couple of days and wanted to get started on nootropics.
Right now, I'm almost finished with coffee and will be buying caffeine powder/pills rather than coffee.
My main trouble with focusing on my work is mostly disciplinary. I just need to keep myself in check and avoiding jacking around on the internet, so I'm going to not take any racetams until I can learn to study efficiently without any chemicals.
I've started exercising, and I feel like I have slightly more energy. Could be placebo, but anything helps at this point because I won't be sleeping more than five-six hours until mid-May.
I'm mostly looking for stimulants, things to keep me awake and alert.
I think I'll start off my day with a cup of green tea, with 100 grams of caffeine added in. I'll pack a travel mug with citron green tea with 100 mg of caffeine added in, to drink throughout the day until 2 PM, since I don't want to be up too late into the night.
Rhodiola rosea sounds good. It's a MAOI but since I'm only taking vitamin pills, ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and caffeine, I don't think I have to worry too much. I'll take a pill every morning (500 mg)
I'm not sure about l-theanine. It has mood-improving benefits as well as reducing some of the negative effects of caffeine. I don't feel any ill effects from caffeine, only when I take it too late in the day.
Thanks and have a nice day
