I've tried everything, and the only things that make any noticeable difference in my experience:

Modafinil, Racetams, Noopept, Phenibut

Noopept seems to be curiously missing from this list?

Phenibut will FUCK you up. Ever take a big dose? Its like being piss drunk.

Very fun substance also nasty as fuck and undoubtably bad for your brain. (I got weird neurological "withdrawal" symptoms after like 3 days of taking it)

I've hospitalized myself from an accidental overdose on it, don't have to tell me lol.

Spent 8 continuous hours vomiting with the worst nausea I've ever felt in my life.

Lesson hard learned. I've been using Phenibut for nearly 10 years, I only take it on the weekends.

I quite enjoy high doses, feels much better than drinking without negative physical side effects. I don't drink alcohol in general, to be honest.

It causes next-day depression for me. Could only be purely recreational.
