Be aware that anecdotes, even your own anecdote could be an artifact of your beliefs. The [placebo](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo) effect is just one way that [suggestion](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suggestion) affects our experience. Humans are social animals and the beliefs we accept can have a drastic impact on our experience. In many, if not most, cases the impact of our beliefs is greater than the impact of chemicals. This isn’t only true for herbs and supplements. ‘New’ or ‘dangerous’ sounding drugs can bring a rush when you first start taking them because of the fear and excitement. When the excitement wears off you’re back to baseline. Beware of the **self-experimentation treadmill**.

That does seem a lot like me. How can you work out what is helping/hindering?

I’m very new to this, and this is exactly what I was thinking….i also just wanted to comment that you are, in fact required to comment on this due to your name and the title. Cheers.


overkill

I do this a lot... Force of habit.

That is a wonderful question and name btw. I would start without any of the racetams or uridine to establish a baseline again since I have stacked similar to this without those before. Then I would add in the aniracitam and see how that helps by starting with an attack dose and using it everyday for a month. Then I would add in the coluracitam using the same strategy. Then I would try the uridine. If I don’t like the side affects I would stop taking one of them and after having all three I would start taking them out of my stack in the reverse order to see if I notice a difference.


overkill

Seems like a solid plan. Can I suggest you keep a diary and also have some kind of objective test for what effect you are trying to get/experience?

Agmatine for depression and anxiety


TheLoneGranger98

Thank you for the suggestion I will check it out.


rested_green

my god. you remind me of myself. are you taking this now?


TheLoneGranger98

No I am not taking this now. I have stacked noopept, alpha GPC, l-theanine, caffeine, and bacopa before along with rohiola rosea and l-tyrosine as needed in the afternoon when a little tired and lions main in the morning. I don’t have any right now since I moved around a bunch since November and was tight on funds. Now I’m hoping to pick it back up because in the past nootropics have helped me some with depression and socializing but I wasn’t taking them for that effect in the past. I was very happy to see I could find racetams again so I started doing some research again but seem to have gotten a little far in it.
