"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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 ?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.
