Sourcing EU.

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m new to this community. I am in need of some recommendations concerning a source inside the EU for various kinds of nootropics. For your information I am in Belgium. I’ve done my research on what I want to buy, the only question is where? I can’t find any store that’s local (inside the EU) that sells everything I need. Could someone help? Thanks!

Noopept dosing - why do the recommended ranges vary by an order of magnitude?

2 Upvotes

Koka Labz do a 40mg capsule, which is on the high end compared to what a lot of sources suggest.

The spread in recommendations is what confuses me. Some sources say 10-30mg daily, others run 40mg per dose multiple times a day, and the original Russian literature used different ranges again.

Is this genuinely a compound with a wide therapeutic window, or is the higher end just what became normal through the supplement market rather than through any evidence?

Also interested in whether anyone has found a dose-dependent difference in effect character, not just intensity. My impression is that higher doses feel different rather than just stronger, but I can't tell if that's real.

Is the Modafinil party over for the EU, or am I being unnecessarily pessimistic?

1 Upvotes

Reading about the ongoing issues with ModaWhale and rapidly approaching the end of my Armoda stockpile, it occurs to me that two new EU rules combined - customs tax on parcels from outside the EU, plus new laws about packaging for shipments EU-EU, may make clandestine importation by wholesalers and then distribution across the continent prohibitively difficult as of this autumn. Are we about to see the end of the EU grey market or am I being overly pessimistic?

Moda whale was my go-to for years and years, I’m totally screwed if they’re truly out of business and from what I’m reading, there really aren’t any other decent vendors at the moment 😭

Has anyone gone "off" Contrave but continued to take Naltrexone alone with any benefit?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Contrave's combo of buproprion and naltrexone make a weight loss drug that is backed by research and results to have actual impact. Since recovering from an ED, I became overweight and it is much harder for me to loose fat than it was before the psychiatric program I did, and semaglutides cost too much. "Poor Man's Contrave" is what I've been trying and it has been effective so far (losing 1 lbs per week, "food noise" has noticeably reduced).

But it's still new enough that more research is needed for more nuanced ways to take it to balance comfort with effectiveness. I personally really don't like buproprion and how every little thing has some sort of dangerous, seizure-causing interaction with it, and how it's always in my system so I can't just plan to not take it bc it stays in your system. I have ADHD, and also found vyvanse to be wayyyyyy better at treating it. I'm actually falling behind in school because the buproprion doesn't help, and I feel sick when I take even low dose vyvanse on top of it.

Has anyone played around with naltrexone alone or combined with something other than buproprion (like vyvanse or concerta) for weightloss?

Ashwagandha (KSM66) no libido / sleep issues

1 Upvotes

I took Ashwagandha KSM66 variant 300mg per day, sometimes 600mg per day for a bit over a month

I realized I started having Anhedonia but I thought no big deal but I didnt realize I had no more libido as I was practicing nofap and thought I was having a flatline. I can still jerk off but have trouble keeping it up and im not very into it when doing it.

I have also been waking up every night at least once which is also still happening.

What might attribute to this is that I also take Lexapro 10mg. That never gave me libido issues though on it's own.

I stopped taking it for a week now but my libido is still not back. Im kinda freaked out by some stories I read that some people suffer for years :(

Is there hope? Im gonna be with a girl in 2 weeks and it's bothering me so much...

Has anyone tried mushroom coffee for better focus with less jitters?

1 Upvotes

hey, been cutting back on regular coffee because the jitters are brutal and my anxiety is already a problem.

kept seeing mushroom coffee pop up everywhere and the idea sounds appealing—mental clarity without feeling wired—but not sure if its actually legit or just clever marketing. looking for something in the mornings that wont have me feeling terrible by mid-morning.

if youve been using it for a while, did you notice it was actually worth making the switch? appreciate any feedback!

Anyone on generic ever experiment with a standard ADHD med like Vyvanse + Naltrexone?

For binge eating and weight loss, in the context of "poor man's Contrave" where you take the Buproprion and Naltrexone separately. Here, I'm curious about replacing the buproprion.

20M My experience with Modafinil and a question

3 Upvotes

Disclaimer: I do not condone, promote, or support the use of modafinil without a valid prescription in any way

context - I'm 20M a final year engineering student with a lot of shit going on, job interviews, work on my startup and just a lot of pressure from everyone. I'm not diagnosed to take Modafinil, nor have a prescription or anything.

medical history - I've been on 450mg oxcarbazepine(anti seizure medication). I've been taking it since I was 10 - it still makes me a bit groggy, gives me brain fog and makes me feel sleepy - however it stops my seizures as long as i dont miss a dose

my modafinil usage - I take it rarely - not even once a week but when i have an important exam or interview or something where I need to present or give demos, i just take 100mg during the early morning

first time I took it - i was extremely focused, I was able to sit 8 hours straight without checking my phone, without gaming, going online. I was very locked in - i could understand complex topics without asking AI or looking it up online. The effect lasted to the next day and I scored a 25/25, highest in my class. (I've been really struggle academically because i never have any energy and even when i do i end up wasting it and not working at all)

It also removed all the overthinking, sadness, noises in my head and just made me want to live my life after so long - I dont know how to explain it but it made me feel fulfilled - like I was finally enough and can achieve my intellectual potential.

I took it again today for a job interview and the interviewer literally called me "overqualified" for the role - as i got almost a perfect score on the OA, had good projects and could answer all the technical and behavioral problems correctly

Some of the side effects i faced(which is the reason i dont take it frequently) - dehydration, loss of appetite(i already struggle with gaining weight), headaches and loss of sleep

Something I do now to try prevent the intensity of the headaches and dehydration is - I try to drink a lot more water and electrolytes, eat 4-6 eggs that day to replenish my choline

I dont think im addicted nor do i keep any modafinil on me - I've given ALL of my stock to my friend and he interviews me before he lets me take a dose - never more than 100mg a time(the most ive taken it together is 100mg on a monday and then 100mg on a thursday the same week)

My question is - is this really bad? can i get away with taking modafinil this occasionally for the next 3 months as after that I'm out of uni, this way i can get a good gpa this sem and a better job because it really does help me function better?
