I can think of few nootropics that impact serotonin receptors, and certainly not in any significant way. What is your reason for avoiding this?

I've been trying to increase my metabolism and it seems that high serotonin has anti-metabolic effects.

So what would be your recommendation?

For nootropics in general or for trying to increase your metabolism?

If the former, I'd once again recommend taking a look at N-acetyl Semax Amidate and N-acetyl Selank - these two appear to be the most promising nootropics in existence right now, along with P12. The only one I'll strongly recommend based on personal experience is Methylene Blue.

As for increasing metabolism, I'd suggest 7-Keto DHEA, Iodine (Lugol's), and Capsaicin. You shouldn't need anything more than that.

Use 1 spray of each today, that's approx 300 mcg semax amidate and 200 mcg selank. Very quickly felt greater clarity, seeing things clearer, calm and more motivated. Had a driving lesson (yes, I'm a very late starter) 20 minutes later and there was significant improvement since the last lesso; drove with more confidence and less anxiousness. Sitting here typing this up about 3 hours after application and I think I still feel the focus and clarity, but unsure. I'm an over analyser and so I find it hard to distinguish between placebo effects / genuine effects / no effect, further testing will tell. Additionally, I may have fucked up when I sprayed the selank so the effects may have been less than optimal.

Will update when I use it next (Thursday).

Great report so far, Macro. So you're using standard Selank rather than the N-acetyl form, correct?

Remember that the effects are cumulative and often, permanent. Take time off on the weekends whenever possible to allow these permanent effects to take place.

Will do, no its the n-Acetyl Selank that you recommended.

Just ordered N-acetyl Semax Amidate in the form of a nasal spray, 300mcg per spray, along with Unifiram. I'll report back as soon as I can.

The first test run with NASA was a major success, even from day one! I can see this having major potential for a wide variety of applications.

I applied 300mcg to each nostril for a total of 600mcg. Within 10 minutes, something subtle but not quite so noticeable came off. Within 15 minutes, it was unmistakable. There's this sense of being fully present - it's not forceful, but one is hardly inclined to distraction on this stuff. I'd say it killed at least 70-80% of undesirable ADD symptoms. Where normally I might become stuck in my head, with NASA I remain fully in-the-moment.

While being driven back from an appointment, I felt I could remember the entire route on memory alone, so potentially a drastic improvement in spatial memory! I'll have some great opportunities to bring out this substance's potential in the coming weeks, but what I'm seeing so far puts it straight at the top of my list, perhaps tied with low-dose psychedelics.

I'm unsure if NASA would be suitable for creative applications, but this is the only potential disappointment I can see. I plan to do an unprecedentedly powerful stack in about a week - it'll be interesting to see just how far I can push this. The stack will include NASA, Unifiram, Coluracetam, PRL-8-53, Methylene Blue, and either D-Amphetamine IR or Phenylpiracetam Hydrazide, depending on what I have available. I may add Hydrafinil as well, but I think NASA has displaced the need for Modafinil and its analogues entirely.

I got both selank and nasa. Start with selank first. I spray so far. Feel unusually hyper after my morning pre work out coffee. Feel like jumping out of my skin! Very motivated.

What effects you say are permanent and why you state that ?

Just read a paper that showed Albuterol + caffeine had an acute effect of just over 10% on metabolic rate, with little to no side effects. The paper claims it's so safe, it will be considered for treating childhood obesity.

And no, AGPC, CDP Choline and Centro are all, like DMAE, choline source. They're nothing like Modafinil.

I keep seeing this thread pop up with new posts all the time, I dunno why I waited this long to keep up. I too, have taken and am still taking modafinil now and then,when I need to really focus on something. I didn't really intend on using it for narcolepsy which was what it was initially manufactured for, or for add, but for shift work disorder as I usually work 12 hour night shifts.

It's extremely subtle but I've found that if you take it, you need to be ready with what you need to focus on. I've noticed that I take it and something negative comes up (i.e , fight with gf, getting your card damaged, etc), you will be dwelling oj it and mulling it over the wholllllle day.... which is no bueno. But it does get me focused.

My body is really sensitive to substances so I can usually just take 100 mg, which is half of the usual dose people take. More than thay and I get irritable. I took a full 200 mg pill one time and I felt like everyone was driving too slow and I felt I needed to drive faster. I check my speedometer and I was already at 80, but felt like everyone was driving 50 on the freeway fast lane..definitely didn't like that.

I've always thought about maybe taking modafinil and seeing if it woukd significantly amplify the self effects of mones. Maybe someone already mentioned it and I failed to see it.
