Misc Best Nootropic

[Salandrion]

I have no experience with Nootropics but am very interested in trying one out. Anybody have extensive experience with them and may be able to point me in the right direction. Characteristics I'm looking for in order of preference are:

1. Increased cognitive performance
2. Increased focus
3. Increased memory
4. No achy side effects
5. Lack of sleep a non-issue

Any help would be nice. Thanks!

Anything can be a noortropic, so it is hard to safe which is best because effects vary from person to person.

For creativity and such I like marijuana and LSD the best

For focus and motivation I like amphetamines the best, but modafinil is up there with amps on this one. Modafinil helps with focus, motivation, walkfulness and has the least side effects. Amp is definitely better for attention and drive, but modafinil does something amps don't to me, it makes me a little smarter by allowing me to be more analytical and awake and it allows me to learn and retain more info. like both alit but amps make ne feel the best hahaha. Nicotine is good too..pure tobacco that is inhaled deeply with big hits is said to be an awesome noortropic.

I was under the impression that large amounts of tobacco at once acts as a hallucinogen

I would say its not worth the dependence in using tobacco towards that end

You may want to look in 2mg nicotine gum though

But why not go with the most established nootropic - piracetam

A lot of effective nootropics act by enhancing the effects of the 'Memory Molecule' acetylcholine - supplementing with choline (the precursor to acetylcholine) can/will increase the concentration of acetylcholine however it has some trouble crossing the blood-bran barrier - DMAE does a better job at crossing the BBB and converts into choline and apparently (aside from increasing cognition; memory; intelligence etc) works to elevate mood.
SOme people find that elevating acetylcholine levels is helpful in reducing anxiety.
You may wish also to make sure you get adequate B5 (essential for acetylcholine synthesis) and perhaps also use acetyl L carnitine (helps also with synthesis).
Tyrosine also maybe...
