My experience with noopept was mixed. It didn't actually help me much with focus (may be a freak in this regard), although I was definitely reading lots and writing while on it. It definitely made me more resistant to the effects of alcohol, and to cannabis, my memory would be much less affected by cannabis when I was on it, and I felt less intoxicated, kind of a plus and minus at the same time. Morning became my only favoured dosing time, as any later would affect my sleep.

For me, less is definitely more with this stuff. Any more than 30mg in one go I would lose any feelings of clarity and my mind would actually feel muddied. There were a few times when I would feel quite irritable, I think this became more apparent with long term use and after the initial honeymoon period. I would definitely recommend if people want to use this that they take breaks from it now and again and cycle it. Could be great for people recovering from brain damage, or with neurodegenerative conditions. Overall I preferred the feel of a turmeric/pepper mix in the mornings.
