As I've said in other places, the discussion of nootropics used to be a scientific discussion of cognitive enhancers by sober, psychologically healthy people. But as of late, it's degenerated into shady grey market talk of legal highs, tainting the discussion. In particular, DO NOT use phenibut for long periods of time. The withdrawal can be potentially life-threatening, including horrible seizures that paramedics may not even be able to deal with because it's not a traditional GABA agonist. Regardless of whatever huckster or snake oil salesman tries to tell you, this is probably one of the most dangerous drugs that's marketed as a nootropic, but is really a recreational drug. The best nootropic stack is a good night sleep, healthy diet and exercise, and reading a book that teaches you something new.
