Background: 32 year old male PhD student. Into psychedelics & meditation.

Why this drug: I read some trip reports about Noopept that really sparked my interest. Someone called it "a great alternative to LSD".

Experiment: I took 20 mg every morning for two consecutive days.

Each day, the effect was the same: mild stimulation, and very mild, possibly placebo fear suppression. The effects were so weak that it is hard to say how long they last. I guess somewhere between 3 and 6 hours.

I did not feel like I could concentrate any better or that my memory improved. To be honest, I feel kind of ripped off! I should have known better. Welcome to the world of self-improvement, nootropics, food supplements, ... Full of empty promises.

Maybe also placebo, but I think this stuff also makes me feel a weird kind of tension in the evening. Because of this (imagined?) tension and the otherwise lack of interesting effects, I ended my experiment after two days.

Conclusion: Maybe it really did help other people, but for me, it doesn't seem to do anything useful.
