@kamill It doesn't suit your body then.

Try other versions.

How much water do you drink? You need to stay well hydrated when you take these types of pills.

That means its never filtered out of your system so the body can never rest. Better to take it once every 4 days.

I usually take 1/2 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. At first I it made me extremely sleepy when I was already sleepy. Now I don't have that kind of issues. I suppose that your body has to get used to it. It definitely enhances whatever you are experiencing at the moment. I can focus better but if I'm annoyed it's more intense.

How long did you take it?

I actually found plain dextroamphetamine/Dexedrine (but NOT Adderall) to be more effective than 'afinils, with less side-effects. Personally didn't experience too much addictive tendency with it -- which is saying a lot, since I used to be an IV heroin user (addict), and used quite a bit of coke/crack as well...

Definitely would not consider them nootropics. Things that have nootropic effects include: exercise, lifting heavy but not to failure, fasting, certain dietary habits (too much to get into here), optimal sleep (waking at the same time every day, but changing how early you get to bed depending on both training-stress and work/emotional-stress), meditation (especially), ...

... And some chemicals: pregnenolone, aspirin, intranasal insulin aspart, L-histidine, glycine, creatine, collagen, magnesium, coconut oil, and LSD and other psychoactive drugs (micro-dosed frequently or macro-dosed infrequently).
