Oh yeah L-Theanine is another great one, especially combined with coffee. I usually stick a 1/4 tsp scoop of powder under my tongue and let it dissolve. It kind of has a sweet/bitter taste, I like it. I find that it takes the edge off the caffeine while at the same time not making you drowsy.

been reading up on racetams and I finally decided to try piracetam as my first nootropic. But the fucked up thing as soon as I narrowed it down to Piracetam, and begin to read up on it even more, I see a bunch of threads with people complaining about Piracetam. So what is the best (in this case, I mean most widely beneficial) racetam that I should try? I also read that choline causes depressive symptoms, but all the threads recommend supplementing nootropics with choline.
I think what I am going to do is order Piracetam and supplement it with eggs and fish oil. Not a choline product directly. Tips?

Welp .. New stack I've been trying
~half hour before studying I take:
150 mg phenylpiracetam (Sublingually as skinny described)
Large coffee - black
Right after I wake up I take:
3 choline bitartrate pills
3 fish oil
3 multivitamin
50mg zinc (avoided the flu since september! Fuck yea)
The big change was me was learning to take the racetams sublingually rather than mixing with green tea/drinking. Sublingual tastes like shit, but if you can hold it under your tongue for ~5 mins its affects are much more predictable + stronger.
Couldn't get my hands on modafinil, ordered some adrafinil instead (modafinil + methyl group -- will break down in liver into free modafinil). Right now adrafinil is unregulated (legal) in both Canada and the USA -- be careful with how much/how often you use it as it can cause elevated liver enzyme levels

^ will do.
It was significantly cheaper in the powder form so that's what I ordered. I don't feel like spending $50 on a scale that's sensitive to the milligram -- so I'll keep guestimating with the little 0.15cc scoop they give you.
The place I ordered from is called nootropicsdepot and they have several review threads on reddit, as well as a few of the owners of the company active on reddit as well. They are located and ship from the USA, and you can pay with paypal so even if they dick you around you can get your money back. NootropicsDepot.com
discount code: 'reddits' / 'reddit' for 10% off
Also ordered some caffeine and noopept.

I don't like the idea of anxiety as a side effect, which modafinil doesn't have

N-Acetyl-Tyrosine is also good if you didn't get enough sleep the night before

here's a crappy photo of how it came to me: 
packaging doesn't insight any confidence in the product lol, but judging from other people's reviews the reaction to it are hit and miss depending on how sensitive you are to it (your body has to metabolize it for it to become active). I'd imagine the amount of liver enzymes you have has something to do with how readily you break down the adrafinil into modafinil -- this might be a thing where the casual drinker has a better response to it; or I may be stretching my broscience too far

I wouldn't worry about the packaging; that is totally irrelevant to the product quality.

They resent a whole bunch of orders last week with DOUBLE the amount because of a shipping/processing delay. Wow

i wouldn't order modup, they send provigil and it is much weaker then Sunpharm. modalert.
I've ordered from med-pacific.net once ( best price) ... first package seized ( took like 29 days lol..) they resent for free, received the second (luckily) in about 2.5 weeks.
