Im studying mechatronic engineering but im too retarded for it so i needa take something to become smarter anyone know what makes you smarter?
>>76653872ritalin or dexx was what engg mates used to do to fulfil a workload back in the day but i would not overwork yourself, my best m8 offed himself this year after finishing his phd and i miss him every day
Been taking each ingredient in joe rogans brain shill stuff. B complex i think does something. But L theanine and phosphatidyl serine im not convinced..
>>76653872This enters /x/ territory but it will help you both in this and in lifting, create a servitor, if trained well they make mental diagrams and flashcards, help you memorize and understand shit better, also they will help you keep track of your lifts and take up your body to rerack your weight once you fail
>>76653872you need better habits, try hanging out with the studious kids and make sure not to embarrass yourself by showing up unprepared

>>76653872>NootropicsDon't work, take it from someone who fell for the meme years ago.Work on your discipline and if you can get adderall.
>>76653872If you're not getting 8+ hours of sleep a night, regularly exercising, or if you have any vitamin or mineral deficiencies, then you would see larger cognitive gains by improving those areas first before taking nootropics. 99% of nootropics are useless, and the ones that work can't hold a candle to amphetamines. Adderall and Vyvanse are what works well; any kind of amphetamine really. You could look into racetams as well but they are inferior to amphetamines
>>76653872Amphetamines and nicotine are the only real answer (if you don't have ADHD)The rest of nootropics are a scamWhat you really want is to not be depressed in order to build motivation to study effectively and actively retain information. Try this by lifting, cardio and having a cleanish diet, getting the right amount of whole carbs, healthy fats and proteinOmega 3 oil might help but research of dietary supplementation is a bit "fishy", hahaVitamin D deficiency leads to fatigue so might be worth supplementingSleeping more, regularly reading and meditating have also proven to increase dopamineDon't be fooled by the Jewish nutrition industry (unless it's whey protein)Flash cards have been proven to strengthen the ability to memoriseAlso research Hebbian learning, which is essentially lifting for your brainSTOP DRINKING EXCESSIVE ALCOHOL AND SMOKING WEED MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK
>>76655412>What you really want is to not be depressed in order to build motivation to study effectively and actively retain information.I understand exactly what you mean. I was really fucking depressed earlier today, more than usual. I mumbled to myself, forgot some stuff or misplaced things. I turned into Joe Biden.
liderally creatine
give me a great brand of mushroom coffee
>>76655504Let me rephrase what I meant. You can't "get rid" of depression, you have to learn to live with it. If any of that advice helps, then that'll softens the blow. Life is generally shitty, but there are certain things the human organism needs to feel sane to keep moving, i.e. healthy social life, regular exercise, not eating processed trash constantly, regular mental exercise. If depression is so bad you can't physically do things, try a low dose of sertraline. If you're anti SSRI then you may as well take a heroic dose of psilocybin. If you want to go full mystic mode, microdosing has worked wonders for silicon valley elites (they are still in charge of us all)Anon mentioned creatine which is also supposedly a cognitive enhancer but I wouldn't bet on it, consider it a positive side effect if you use it for lifting
>>76655567The current state of /fit/ bunch of fags who just shitpost a possibly good thread To the op, dihexa , semak, selank, celebrosin(the pig stuff) that's what the guy running trials on himself posted, also he was snorting cacao powder for some reason. He reported better verbal fluency in just 2 weeks, bad thing about dihexa is it can cause cancer.
Microdosing amphetamines (maybe)There is no biological free lunch
>>76653872drink coke. i was a biochem major for premed but was highly interested in math and inorganic chemistry/material science in general. when i was taking solid state physical chemistry final which only had 5 problems, i could not solve the very first problem. so i briefly took a nap, and drank coke. then next thing i know is i was able to solve all 5. coke makes your brain spin faster.
>>76656226>offers better more substantial advice than being a pharma cuckhold>LE CURRENT STATE OF /FIT/Kill yourself bug
>>76653872>engineering>too retarded for itif ur too retarded for that then u would be too retarded to walk down the street
>>76655567psilocybin and the rest of psychedelics are definitely legit but recent literature has shown that microdosing is a meme. any reported benefits from microdosing seem to come from placebo
