It's also fairly responsible and lays out some of the potential harms of using them. What Plexa linked here is a good read! | ||

I see it being advertised as a muscle gain pill but I don't really care about this. Any feedback ? | ||

Enjoy your life. The brain cannot tell reality from imagination. Go back to your childhood by imagining things, and then enjoy the time that you have. At work, at home, doing your loundry while you sign your favorite song with that awfull voice you have. It sticks to your friends and family, and it atracks women, who cant understand why a "looser" like you can be so happy. You dont need a drug, all you need, is a desire to be happy. | ||

I do feel some clarity whenever I am speaking (or public speaking for that matter). But creatine seems to be really subtle. You're just never sure if it is "working" or not | ||

What he wrote is cheesy but it is a pretty well known story. You have to see his biohacking in the same way like Tim Ferris. Its exaggerated, but they are sound advice. See Grass-Fed beef. Recommended Vitamins, supplements (which btw, can be bought anywhere). Not sure why and how you guys are so skeptical about using Vitamin D  | ||

While I generally agree with the concept of personal freedom that you promoted, the other issue is fairness; namely in competition (Chess, Starcraft, etc.), where other performance-enhancing drugs are already prohibited in physical sport. Aside from that, many people tend to be really stupid and/or ignorant, and will try all sorts of things for recreation, desperation, or experimentation/curosity. Without things like prescriptions and drug laws, the large population of people who don't look carefully before they leap could become a large liability on society with things like health care costs or maybe even unemployment (although I suppose that could possibly be mitigated by increased drug costs, but the issue then is it's somewhat unfair for the legitimate users to be paying more) In the case of this new drug, they're potentially giving themselves a shorter lifespan or Alzheimer's/psychosis/schizophrenia/etc. without fairly being informed of that possibility. | ||

One of the things we do as psychologists to determine whether or not someone lies on the psychotic end of the neurotic-borderline-psychotic spectrum in psychodynamic theory is to see if someone has the capacity for "reality testing," or having their brain determine reality from imagination/delusion/hallucination/dream, so in that regard, I disagree. | ||

Tim Ferriss said this: This was my first time trying this and it seemed to have absolutely no effect. Neither did it have the pick me up effect that coffee does, but I didn't get a boner either. I'll try again over the next week to see if there is any difference; but given my first experience I don't expect any results. Tried it again, no effect once again. | ||

But I don't buy any bullshit that advertises a pill as having "zero" long term side effects. Horseshit. Yup. If there are positive effects, chances are there are negative ones too. Here's a clip of Tim Ferriss talking about this and modafinil: | ||

Personally, I don't take these (what I assume to be) prescription meds like Provigil. Instead, I take vitamins, supplements and foods that have been correlated to increases in mental performance (I say correlated because I don't think there's enough evidence to prove a causal link yet). Essentially, natural nootropics. Things like, as I've already stated, caffeine, omega fish oils (they have a compound in them that is good for mental cognition, I forgot what it's called though), vitamin B-12, and surprisingly, eggs. | ||

I would be more interested in a report on how it affects you in the long-term, if there are any noticeable downsides of any nature, if it remains as useful without increasing the dosage, all that sort of stuff. Not necessarily representative of anything in and of itself (being a one-man test and all) but I'm fairly curious about this topic and as a poster above mentioned, there's not enough research on this. | ||

You need to get your roomie involved, but give him placebo's, see if feeling smarter also straighten his As? | ||
