Smarter? That's a fully loaded question, with no clear answer. If intelligence is being measured by task saliency than yeah, definitely. It seems to give reading a bigger positive response, you feel like information is more accessible, and useful to you, but this can just be the psychological effect of expecting greater memory retention.Less depressed? I'm pretty sure, I spend a lot more time task orientated, so naturally I feel better about myself. 3-4x more time drawing throughout the week, and I feel incredibly invigorated.First time I got it I used it considerably throughout the day, this is a typical behavior of mine when gaining access to a new substance, I wouldn't attribute it to the Noopept.Time and time again impulse dosing just made me tired and lethargic, until there was no impulse dosing. My best effect has been using 10mg twice a day, the first day I used at least 100mg. Why? If there is any amazing effect to be at my arsenal from a large dose, I want to know about it at least, but no, just a waste of money, just like meth is at almost any dose.
