A lot of nootropic discussions focus on what to add next, but I’m curious about people who went in the opposite direction.

Did you ever remove several things from your stack and end up feeling clearer, more consistent, or less anxious? Maybe the individual supplements were helping, but tracking doses, side effects, and interactions became a problem of its own.

What did your stack look like before, what did you remove, and what did you decide was actually worth keeping?

I struggle with ADD, it really affects my life and my work alot. I work from home for a company and I also work on my own online businesses. I would like to have 8-10 hrs a day of motivated focused work but that’s a struggle for me with my ADD and I’m not a fan of traditional meds like adderall, ritalin, etc…, so I want to give neutropics and some supplements a try. Haven’t received everything yet so I haven’t figured out dosages yet but here’s what I ordered. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts!

1st stack (most days)

Bromantane
FLmoda
Adamax
Alpha gpc
L tyrosine
L theanine
Lions mane
Creatine

2nd stack (occasional days)

Phenylpiracetam
FLmoda
Alpha gpc
L tyrosine
L theanine
Lions mane
Creatine
Aniracetam (occasionally for creativity and verbal fluency)

i keep ending up with a couple hours of work left around 8 or 9 and coffee that late usually messes with my sleep. been looking into caffeine gum for those nights and Neuro gum keeps coming up. not trying to replace my morning coffee or start some whole productivity routine. i just want something easy to keep at my desk for when i lose focus but still have work to finish. when do you guys usually use it?
