Let's get some more action in here

[samoth]

Piracetam @ 2-3g per day (divided into two doses 8 hours apart)
Choline Bitartrate @ 1g per day (two 500mg 8 hours apart)

The above is the cheapest and most effective / bang ofr the buck nootropic stack out there.

Others are:
Sulbutiamine 600mg ED
vincopetine 5-10mg ED
Huperzine A 5-10mg ED
Alpha GPC 600-1000mg ED
Ginkgo Biloba
5-HTP 50mg ED

I love all of the above except for Huperzine A.

I recently started Sulbutiamine but I think it is overstimulating.

NeurogenX is a cheap all in one noo-blend that is pretty good.

Piracetam and hydergine work well, although hydergine is not available in the states last I purchased it. Vincopetine is good for vasodialation, but as a nootropic, I feel it leaves much to be desired. Ginkgo, in my opinion, is more advertising and marketing than a functional supplement. I have never tried 5-HTP as a nootropic, so I cannot comment on that part. I have never tried Huperzine or alpha-GPC.

In my opinion, the BEST nootropic is desmopressin/vasopressin, available as a mcg nasal spray (prescribed in the U.S. for nighttime enuresis). Unlike every other nootropic, it works on memory encoding, verses memory recall. I have used it extensively and personally vouch for it's drug-like effect. Also, you don't have to piss as much for those of us that drink over a gallon of liquid a day, lol. Like Hydergine, this is another one you'll have to import from Europe (both are legal to import, just not available for sale in the U.S.).

Newton, easily

But according to some smart dudes it is Einstein

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/541840.stm

All-time top ten
1. Albert Einstein
2. Isaac Newton
3. James Clerk Maxwell
4. Niels Bohr
5. Werner Heisenberg
6. Galileo Galilei
7. Richard Feynman
8= Paul Dirac
8= Erwin Schrödinger
10. Ernest Rutherford

Blasphemy (lol)!! Feynman and Einstein top off the list (for recent science), with Bohr, Dirac, Schrodinger and the Tomanga guy following suite for their work on both the Trinity project as well as pioneering quantum electrodynamics. Maxwell, of course, for his time, was the undisputed top. Some may argue that he still reigns even to this day.

Shit, I'll talk all day about medications, who's game?

Start some threads! I believe Velvet had a pretty popular thread on neurology or the like.

If it's something you are interested in, want to discuss, or just want to say something about, just make a post about it!!

 

[samoth]

I wonder why Bohr changed his name from Nicholas Baker when he came over to the U.S.? (Bohr and his son were very impressed with Feynman.)

 

[mountain muscle]

I like digging in the dirt.

 

[anthrax]

I obviously won the 100,000 with Newton so let's talk about nootropics

They've been used and discussed for years and years and it's still obscure and controversial

I tried Piracetam and DMAE years ago and was not impressed

It may work if you're sensible to the Placebo effect

It's the same story as 90% of the bodybuilding supplements: on the paper it's 10,000% effective but in practice it ain't shit and anyway is nothing compared to other factors (diet & training for lifting, diet, sleep and work for nootropics)

 

[blut wump]

Newton was OK but he was no Greek.

 

[Scotsman]

I voted for Big Al, not neccessarily for his actualy scientific accomplishments as great as they were. He was just simply the man. Imagine being a patent clerk who one day would have his theories change the world and how the world views itself. Then imagine waxing phiisophic about life and love (check out the "Quotable Einstein" great book). Then imagine this same icon of modern thought hiding in the bushes on his campus and squirting women with a squirt gun because the miniskirt had just been invented and he loved to make them jump.

Though I'll probably never devise a theory like realativity, or atomic propigation, but in some small way I think I am a bit like him and strive to be as much as I can. Too bad the squirt gun thing would ge me arrested now adays.LOL

Cheers,
Scotsman
