The reason I'm posting this for the purpose of hopefully helping others should they be in the same position I was in. It was about five years ago at my friend's proposal party, that I suffered a pretty severe concussion.

Its not a placebo. You are simply just unresponsive. I'd say noopept is on the same level as phenibut when it comes to raw effects. Here are some of my effects when it came to noopept when i was on it. 1. Motivation without trying or thinking.
Ok this might get taken down, I've tried posting on several places regarding noopept so lets hope this one works. And honestly your guys' specialty is noopept so should've went here first.
thought it was bunk. tried nasal, oral, sublingual for a month. mainly sublingual, doses of 5-30mg i didn’t notice much consciously. felt the exact same. my french improved drastically, and my verbal fluency as well, but i didn’t notice this until after i ran out.
A wild experience. I was recently told I should ask my doctor about ADHD. Supposedly, I have the symptoms and based on my ever increasing mental health problems, I probably have it.
Noopept, got a call from my local police station, lady explained that customs had confiscated my parcel containing prescription drug phentinol (painkiller) but since it was my first offence they were willing to have an informal chat and discuss possible community service! I said...
I bought a bottle of noopept capsules about 4 weeks ago. I had been using Mindlab pro capsules for about a week before the noopept came. Mindlab pro didn't seem to give me any visible effects, but when I took the mindlab pro capsules along with the noopept (2 mindlab pro capsules...
I’ll keep it short. Supplements are too good to be true. First day I took 150mg alpha gpc, second day 300mg alpha gpc with 150mg noopept. Third day, didn’t take any as I’m still feeling the effects and I don’t want to increase my tolerance.

I felt compelled to wright a report about my experience with this drug mainly due to my unexpected results as well as the fact that I have been able to find few to no reports on this Chemical. Background Drug Experience: I've used more than 30 hard drugs so its not worth me listing them all.
I have experimented with noopept in the past, but often neglected the importance of having a high-choline diet while using it. It still gave me effects, but now that I have been consuming more choline, the effects are much more pronounced. Some background about myself, including the "standard" list of drugs.
Background: 32 year old male PhD student. Into psychedelics & meditation. Why this drug: I read some trip reports about Noopept that really sparked my interest. Someone called it "a great alternative to LSD". Experiment: I took 20 mg every morning for two consecutive days.
