It was a good four years ago that i tried Huperzine-A, and yes i did like it although my memory is a bit shady. Very cerebral, much what i would imagine piracetam would be like, if you can secure a cheap source, i say go for it. I don't remember having any negative side effects really, other than feeling more in my mind and a slight dulling of emotions. If it wasn't for the tolerance of phenibut, I might be tempted to introduce it as a regular thing for myself, but yes, that sluggish sick feeling, and the aftermath of my brain being a bit grumpy because its gaba receptors aren't being stimulated from the phen. I take it green tea has a less than optimal l-theanine/caffeine ratio? That sounds like an excellent deal regarding the piracetam/choline mixture. Might I ask what regimen you are on in regards to all nootropics?
Sweet, I'll look into giving Huperzine-A a shot sometime soon. The first time I felt that really weird phenibut "drunkenness" I thought I just hadn't taken enough, so I took another gram and ended up sleeping for 20 hours straight. I woke up at one point and managed to crawl halfway to the bathroom before falling asleep on the floor. Very powerful stuff. Exactly. Black tea is actually better for the l-theanine/caffeine benefits because it's 20mg/14-61mg vs 5-46mg/14-61, where the ranges are highly dependent on the conditions in which the green tea were grown. You normally want a 4:1 theanine:caffeine ratio, so 800mg of l-theanine for your standard 200mg caffeine pill. My current regimen:I take it green tea has a less than optimal l-theanine/caffeine ratio?
if I take phenibut I don't take the l-theanine+caffeine combo, because all that happens is that they cancel each other out. 2400mg piracetam 3x/day
400mg choline bitartrate 1x/day
400mg inositol 1x/day
800mg l-theanine with 200mg caffeine 3x/day
Sounds like you've quite a regimen. Thank you for the info regarding the black-tea/green-tea theanine/caffeine ratios. Might I ask your experience with inosital? I haven't heard much about that?
