I find it an interesting topic, but I'd like to see some good peer-reviewed studies on the effectiveness of some of these things, as well as the long term side effects.
It seems to me that many people just pop a variety of pills of varying dosages and experiment on themselves in a haphazard way.
While you'd think personal experience - ie 'what works for me' would be a good guide - I'm not so sure. I know from my own experiments with diet that it's very hard to draw valid conclusions as there are so many variables.

The only things I take that are remotely nootropical are caffeine (tea,coffee,chocolate) and nicotine. I don't smoke - I just occasionally take a nicotine tablet (supposedly to help quitters -lol) as a mild mental pep up and general stress reliever.

I would like to know about the brand name of the nico tabs, I wouldn't mind having some of those.

You are certainly right about not being too many peer reviewed studies, I have learned most of what I know of them from IMMST, bodybuildingforum, anabolicminds, 2nd hand exp. and first hand.
