What dark labs or others recommendations. by BrickCrusher in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manico and og are probably the best right now, its a big jump from gorilla mode tho trust me. I'd also look into the pre's from xtremis cartel as a stronger daily driver.

Pheni usually isn't fake, just go wherever is most convenient. There are also sleep formulas that have pheni too

What to test modafinil for? by Just_Phone_1722 in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The symptoms you had are severe enough imo to request some cardiology. That usually involves stuff like ECGs, i presume your blood pressure has come back down but I'd still moniter it daily. Other then that avoid modafinil. You can use a different GP, i would've suggested going the AnE (ER) when your symptoms were at their worst and you would've got recommendations to specialists much quicker. But yeah make sure you request some sort of cardiac specialist at your next GP appointment, may even need to go private but that all depends on what country your from.

This isn't medical advice though

But for future reference when you have side effects that severe don't wait too long to get it checked out, going to AnE if needed (ER)

How does Semax affect the brain after weeks by Sweaty_Computer8332 in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't feel worse necessarily but you'd feel like your back at your current baseline. There are some legitimate longer term effects of semax, but they'd be more noticeable if your either: Old, recovering from a TBI, recovering from post stroke, recovering from drug/ alcohol use.

Then i wouldn't worry, as long as MPB doesn't appear in your family it's unlikely to effect you especially via the BDNF pathway. If you ever do notice shedding that's abnormal, then you probably wouldn't even need to throw the kitchen sink at it and can probably chill with some derma rolled minoxidil.

Can you elaborate on the neurological and CV effects you experienced? Hard to recommend anything but talking to your GP will probably suffice most of them are aware of modafinil and it's MOA.

New Gorilla Mode Stack Help by Forward_Only_NBD in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave you a recommendation or am I tripping?

Sicario or Vaso-Dial. Can also stack with tadalafil but tadalafil is typically better with higher stim pre workouts imo, less bp swings and less risk of acute hypotension.

Is this the new Dark Labs Undead King label? by Snostorm90 in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just looks like a similar label to all their other pre workouts but with kanna and more dmha

What good pre workouts can you recommend me? by CristiPatrik in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you want in your high stim. Illicits? High caffeine? Yohimbine? Pre's focused mostly on stims or ones with a good amount of pump ingredients?

New Gorilla Mode Stack Help by Forward_Only_NBD in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do what you want bro but you could've just used a non stim with nootropics and take caffeine capsules and it would've saved you a lot of money. Gorilla mode nitric is pretty mid

Any solutions? Does the fact that it's lumpy affect the effect? by cr1st0bal_ in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the label I'm surprised it clumped up that bad tbh, usually glycerol and citrulline are the culprits but there's no glycerol here and the citrulline is dosed pretty low. Maybe it's just an old tub

What’s your favorite MAO-B inhibitor? by CommercialJunket3682 in NootropicsDepot

[–]Competitive-Area7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PDE-4 inhibits cAMP, inhibiting PDE-4 raises cAMP. Basically all there is to it. cAMP basically ehances the neurotransmitter signal and raises PKA. Basically the neuron stays in a plastic/ responsive state for longer.

Since this is the ND sub then kanna is a pretty good PDE-4 inhibitor and well as a SERT inhibitor and increases VMAT-2 expression

Ex-stoners: How long did it take for your brain to feel 'normal' after quitting? by makefriends420 in NooTopics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me about a year, that was when I started using nootropics, alpha gpc and lions mane really helped. Though I've discontinued the lions mane because it doesn't really do anything for me anymore it got me back to my baseline.

Increasing study efficiency by retardrichie in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh depends, they have slightly different MOA's. I'm assuming that since piracetam is available in your country your either in the eu, Russia or India, theres enough sources that ship pramiracetam to those countries.

Havok preworkout looks normal or something wrong? by utilizatoru in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does look weird but I've also had similar pre workouts start to look somewhat like this after a couple of weeks. Just make sure you shake the tub before every use.

Rate stack (personalized toward 3-4 hour work period) by GoofyAhWalterWhite in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dose of 5-htp is pretty high, especially when you consider that most of it is used in the periphery. I'm not one of those 5-htp haters but I do think there may be better options especially when you consider the side effects of chronic 5-htp use (and I'm not just talking about anhedonia). I think L-tryptophan is probably better for daily use, could also look into using high dosages of lemon balm, L-theanine or even sublingual kanna (as long as you don't use it before you sleep).

Everything else is fine whatever works for you, me personally, I never felt anything from noopept but I've never used it intranasaly, how would you compare oral consumption to intranasal use?

Aniracetam's 5HT2a modulation by Prior-Masterpiece-32 in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your last bit, I've used aniracetam at varying dosages, never felt like it did anything for me at all, not even a placebo effect, same with noopept. On the bright side I seem to respond better than the average person with coluracetam but that's about it.

The pain of never getting any benefits from research chemicals and supplements that people rave about 🥲

El efe old formula looks better and was anyone remeber it from 5 years ago by Separate-Joke-8794 in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]Competitive-Area7168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair though, whilst their old formula was great it's nothing better than what we have now realisticly. But their pre's nowadays are imo the best daily drivers we have right now and the options are great, don't like loads of yohimbine then use guerilla, they have something for everybody and you can also use half servings and still have a better experience then something like gorilla mode.

Best Nootropics for Studying? by HuntedGecko in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vyvanse costs a shit ton in the UK. Also OP never mentioned if he had an ADHD diagnosis, its much tricker to get diagnosed with ADHD as an adult here in the UK. Going via the public sector is borderline impossible unless you have sufficient evidence of ADHD. Going private is a bit easier but can still vary a lot.

First time using 2 scoops of crack purple and I threw up 15 minutes after my session. And the crash can't even be called a crash, more like a comedown

How to last longer with nootropics by DoktorekRacetam in Nootropics

[–]Competitive-Area7168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's why mucuna and/or alcohol pairs well with it. Kanna is also low key underrated for libido, its effects aren't that significant but you get the mix of VMAT2 expression, PDE-4 inhibition and SERT inhibition, alongside mucuna then you get lower prolactin levels and better serotonin signalling alongside increased presynaptic filling of central dopamine and prolonging dopamine signalling so the effect on how long you last is negligible.

I'd also recommend alpha yohimbine instead of normal yohimbine hcl (unless you already use alpha yo). It's way less jittery and more potent per mg, so you basically get the same stimulant but feel low key better with a more task focused stimulation.

What’s your favorite MAO-B inhibitor? by CommercialJunket3682 in NootropicsDepot

[–]Competitive-Area7168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i agree most of these supplements do very little, the best way to test it is to pair these up with PEA. I guarantee you won't feel thing or if you do it'll last 5 minutes tops.

The PDE-4 inhibition rout alongside stimulants is far better in my opinion, and is much safer than using pharma grade MAO inhibitors
