"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Was curious about people's experience with nootropics and or stacks you take for cognitive improvement, memory recall, etc. Also, did anyone ever successfully quit psych meds thanks to the supplements/other methods ?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I dislike the term nootropics because is actually has a tight definition that most things don't fall under. "Cognitive enhancers" or smart drugs is a much better term although it's vague.

Really depends on what you're looking for, but I can give a list of some of the most powerful and effective cognitive enhancers, trying to put them in order from strongest to weakest though that's really hard to say.
  • Modafinil
  • Semax
  • Selank
  • Cerebrosylin
  • Phenylpiracetam
  • Noopept
  • Alpha GPC / CDP Choline
  • Huperzine-A
Many supplements also can have strong cognitive effects such as creatine, phosphatidylserine, fish oil, uridine, l-phenylalanine / l-tyrosine...

There's also longevity/neuroprotective supplements, ie resveratrol, NMN, metformin , selegiline...

Then there's well known ones, such as caffeine, kratom and nicotine. Nicotine in particular is actually one of the most powerful cognitive enhancers ever. Not even going to mention stimulants like adderall etc, they're so far from being a nootropic it's not even worth mentioning them all.

Lastly, I've never been on psych meds so I cannot answer your 2nd question, but it would depend on what you're trying to get off. There are some possible solutions, including naltrexone, and possibly memantine. There are also things you can use to "wean off" benzos such as Phenibut, or weaning off opiates with certain Kratom strains.

You could try Lion's Mane mushroom powder. There is scientific evidence noting increased cognition and reduction in depression/anxiety, It also appears to be effective at mitigating dementia, alzheimers and parkinsons disease. And it's natural instead of chemical.
