Nootropics for increased motivation / academic purposes?

[TheAppleCore]

Lately I find a lack of motivation, which prevents me from focusing on important schoolwork. Can nootropics help me, and if so, can anyone help me design a nootropic stack with this purpose in mind?

They've certainly helped me, and to top it off add a fair bit of music appreciation. Don't know how much I can help with making a stack, but what I do is alternate days between oxi/ani/pramiracetam taken twice a day after meals with choline as well, skipping 1-2 days a week, and I have definitely noticed a difference. They also really potentiate caffeine.

Effects are cumulative and some stay even after you stop ime.

Hope this helps and good luck!

My subjects say we need 2 hours study for every hour lecture. I generally get through what i need to in an hour. I also read a lot of other stuff and waste time on BL, but I have still been getting through it all and remembering it.

I use a mixture of piracetam, picamilon, ephedrine, caffeine, lions mane mushroom caps, huperzine-a. Sometimes I replace piracetam with noopept.

I can do multiple things at once. I can listen to music and get through engineering equations. i can design things. Sometimes i don't even need a calculator. My stack is the bomb.

i didn't find any increase in motivation... it's not going to force you to do your homework.
after taking some i thought that "ok i've spend $ on this stuff to help me study, so i might as well go sit down and actually study for a few hours" and it'll work for a while.... and then 30 minutes later i was browsing the internet.

i think it helped me retain info a little bit better, could be placebo though, you never know for sure. maybe something like adderall would suit you better.

I definitely felt a change of some sort, though it's kinda hard to qualify.

The racetams sure enhance my visual perception and the memory somewhat but this seems to be unspecific or placebo.

I can imagine using them as a sort of psychedelic drug for example being in the forest on noopept was pretty amazing because I could take in all the visual details an analogy for stupid people would be "everything was in HD".

Also aniracetam or noopept before going to the cinema for this effect.

Studying, taking the iniative etc not so much with the racetams, it doesnt aid the process and aniracetam made me almost lazy avoiding tasks.
Noopept helps a little with movitation.

But it wont work like amphetamines its as simple as that and thats why I will use my nootropics as "life enhancers" in the future.
They are nice enough to be used recreationally and why stare in a book when you can see everything in the outside world around you more vividly?

For motivation try uppers and try not to destroy yourself with them, I definately need days off from them to not burn out even more.

I am quite familiar with these "academic" types you speak of. The substance that seems to work well for a majority of them is what they refer to as "coffee" and/or "green tea". Give it a shot. Doesn't sound too harmful.

I use aniracetam (800-1200mg) quite regularly to help with violin practice. It helps hugely with memory retention and aural acuity but I wouldn't say it motivates me in fact it makes me feel quite calm and relaxed, which is a good state to be in for music practice. I've found though that if I add around 800mg oxiracetam then I can go on for hours and hours with intense focus - not exactly motivating per se but amazing if you're distracted easily/short attention span. It requires much less motivation in the first place with this mindset.
When used regularly oxiracetam makes me feel quite depressed (unlike ani), so I save it for occasions when I need to do a lot of boring technical work or learn something very quickly.
I should say though neither of them seem to help me with studying at all...
