r/Nootropics

What are the best nootropics for shyness and social anxiety? I'm looking for something that lowers inhibitions the way alcohol does for shy people, but obviously without the negative side effects of drinking.

I used Phenibut back in 2019 from a reliable vendor here in Brazil, but they shut down. Every time I bought it after that, it felt like I was just taking flour. I've never found anything that compares since, and from what I've read, the government here is banning Phenibut anyway.

Are there any good alternatives out there??

Been dealing with severe brain fog and fatigue for the past couple weeks seemingly out of nowhere. One contributing factor I can think of is my mental health- my mental health for the past few months has been probably the worst it’s been since I was a teenager and it felt like I had hit rock bottom. My mind feels like it’s in a cloud and I can’t do my uni work anymore without wanting to cry from how much mental energy it takes to think.

I’ve had some bloods checked and I’m perfectly fine although I will be going back to the doctors soon to ask for more tests.

Please offer any advice, supplements, herbs anything

Hey,

i cant find any legit seller for Moda. Can anybody help me?

Hey guys. I’m quite passionate about self improvement and the concept of improving cognition fascinates me. I have always had pretty terrible short term memory which made retaining information while studying in my teens and early 20’s an uphill battle. Into adulthood this problem remains and now in my daily life I have to juggle quite a lot of moving parts, sometimes with slim margins of error. At times motivation and energy falls off a cliff too and it can seem daunting, if not impossible getting the ball rolling again. My diet is pretty sharp and I exercise daily. I also take a few other supplements not specifically for cognition purposes (Fish oil, a multivitamin, extra Zinc, Magnesium Glycinate). What I’m currently using has provided some benefits but they are subtle and if short and/or long term can be made I would be very keen. I know certain things I’m considering adding likely won’t need combining.

Below is what I currently take and when I take it. Doses are all at or around recommended mg/g.

Currently using:
- Creatine (upon waking, pre and post training)
- Caffeine (upon waking)
- Lions Mane (upon waking)
- L-Tyrosine (if tired and/or especially unmotivated)
- Ashwaganda (1/3 upon waking, 2/3 pre bed)
- Choline Bitartrate (upon waking)
- Coq10 (with a meal containing fat)
- L-Theanine (1/3 upon waking, 2/3 pre bed)

Considering adding/trying
- Noopept (used at uni with some noticeable benefits)
- ALCAR
- Phenylpiracetam
- Armodafinil or Modafinil

Any suggestions, whether it be things to discard, change, include or exclude would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I’ve noticed I get cramps more often after work or after being on my feet all day. Drinking water helps a bit but it does not always fix it. I know magnesium plays a role in muscle function and recovery so I’m curious if magnesium based electrolytes actually help with this or if it comes down to the person diet and activity level.

Has anyone noticed a real difference from using magnesium electrolytes instead of regular water or salt heavy electrolyte drinks?

I’ve noticed that using Phenibut 3x a week day-on day-off have shifted my self confidence and shyness levels and I think it’s due to a feedback loop where I face something I fear, I find out its not as fearful, and then I have no issue encountering it again without the Phenibut support.

Hi can someone help me.
