for me is having a girl to study with, then had to explain all the thing for her (with all the sexual emotions and cuddling in between) and had a blowjop at end

that's the ultimate way for doing anything

THIS is the fucking question I keep waiting for people to ask.

The best method to LEARN any form of knowledge is simply find any interrelation that you can think of (seriously, even music) and then 'tug' on that mental thread until you feel tired/lost. After that you can enjoy some sugar water (tea/soda) and just meditate/game/masturbate/do something your neurons already have a confident established pathway for. Stop smashing your eyes against words and paper. Your brain IS A COMPUTER. It does background processing shit. You'll be fine.

Bam. Instant knowledge.

Enjoy your /sci/mon pill.

Find something about the topic you want to learn that's easy to remember (or make up a song or something) to form the basic set of neurons, and then build on that.

I.e. remember the basics of Alexander the II live by listining to the Iron Maiden song, then add unto that.

I've noticed that eating black liquorice gives me a jolting sensation of clarity. i don't know if that means I'm any more alert or ready to learn, but the sensation does boost one's confidence, which i think makes me less likely to give up and take a break when i get to a challenging problem or something.

I use it too from time to time, can let you work 12 hours through, but I wouldn't recommend to use it more than 2 days in a row. It's basically a constant caffeine high without the comedown.
The first thing you should do is constant work through the semester and not overload yourself with shit. Then use it (or other supplements) to push through hard days.

Friend, if it wouldn't be too much to ask, what other ways do you know of improving one's memory and taking in information easier?
I'm doing my best to study efficiently and have tried the method of loci, developed storage places in my mind in order to recall things with ease yet it still doesn't feel as effective as just plainly repeating information to oneself when I need to recall exact words and dates. But interrelation does indeed sound promising.

For me it's just a planned day. Such as waking up at 9, having 30 mins to check the internet for news and eat a snack. Then study until 6 in the evening, with a few breaks. And from then I'm allowed to do what I want: Play video games, etc. Once you are in that cycle it's difficult to get distracted at all. I feel bad if I set out of that routine. I also bought a Nespresso machine which I only use during the exam time.
I also tried Noopept but it wasn't very helpful. I could feel that it helps me with logical questions but on the otherside I was afraid it's fucking with my brain so I stopped taking it. I noticed that working out and staying fit is also good for memorizing things and being able to concentrate better.

Why isn't ritaline helping me? I don't even feel focused at the first hour or so only when it peaks but then i waste like 10 minutes shitting and when it hits the comedown i get like massive dispersion. I don't think its helping me much at all.
Then i tried increasing the dosage to two 10mg pills and again, don't feel much difference. I even put some gamma wave beats and can actually binge watch khan academy videos but i still am not learning much.
Like i studied chemistry yesterday. Took two mg pills at 15pm, watched videos till 19pm then took a hour break, took more one 10mg pill and watched more videos untill 1 am.
Today i woke up and actually didnt learn much. I also drank some coffe.
What i 'm doing wrong?
>>
>>8636318
That's precisely what I did when I experimented with it. I would weigh out 50mg doses (of high-quality washed cocaine) and take them at half-hour intervals. The reason it makes it into the high tier (for studying) is because this created a work-reward cycle which made my studies longer and more effective. I never used cocaine for studying long-term but it would be interested in finding out if this effect persisted.
>>
>>8636334
Well from a study aspect you're not engaging in the subject matter. Take notes, do exercises and structure your studies.

From a pharmacological perspective there's two possibilities that I see. One is that your brain has become too accustomed to the drug which is always a danger especially with uptake inhibitors such as Ritalin. The other is that there is something in your brain chemistry that doesn't agree with the drug itself. Were you prescribed Ritalin to treat ADHD or did you purchase it of your own volition?
>>
>>8636336

learning something cool is its own reward.

most people seem to complain about having to study, like they aren't interested in what they're working on.
>>
>>8636350
>learning something cool is its own reward.

Agreed. Unfortunately not everything required for a degree in a subject you find cool is, itself, cool.
>>
>>8636344
>One is that your brain has become too accustomed to the drug
> Were you prescribed Ritalin to treat ADHD or did you purchase it of your own volition?

I was prescribed 20mg long duration ritaline by a neurologist(by a 30 minute talk btw, didnt do any brain scan or shit) when i was 16(2014). I took it for like two months then dropped it because i started smoking weed and found it made me feel better instead of the massive anxiety ritaline gave me(but it actually worked)
Then in late 2015 i started blazing every day until the end of 2016. Came back to the doctor and he prescribed me 20mg again and he told me the weed wouldn't matter at all and i could keep smoking. I didn't took and came back 3 months later asking for 10mg since 20mg was expensive and i was afraid of getting even skinnier.
Then i read some shit on the internet saying that potheads brain would cancel ritaline because of something related to dopamine and the brain reward cycle, so i stopped mixing ritaline and weed.
That leaves me to this week, were i actually started taking the 10mg pills.

Now i don't know if its the weed abuse, the dosage is low for me or if its the adhd however i DO suffer adhd symptons since a very young age and i don't think not having it is the case at all.

I have a methylphenidate prescription for my low moods ( bipolar fag ). It definitely gives you an edge.
>>
>>8636366
Which country are you from? I have an appointment for ADHD testing coming up in a few days, so I am curious to know. Did you also get prescribed some other methods like Behavioral therapy or something like that?
>>
>>8636360

what i'm trying to say is, these reward based strategies for studying get repeated ad nauseam, but do not work for me
>>
>>8636366
I can't comment on the interaction between weed and Ritalin as I never smoked when I was doing these experiments. It seems odd that your doctor didn't advise against it though.

Since you've been using cannabis for so long you are possibly still experiencing withdrawals which are never good for ones attention.

In your situation I would continue to abstain from cannabis until your normal function is restored. If the Ritalin still isn't working after that then consider trying an amphetamine to rule out the possibility of incompatible brain chemistry (the cannabis cessation is still the most likely culprit though).

Most importantly, though, learn to study properly. Just watching Khan Academy videos barely deserves the name.
>>

Brazil. No, i didn't, its a massive jewish fuckfest actually, i just talked with the doctor and told him the wikipedia symptom page and he happilly prescribed an black label drug.

>>8636386
>then consider trying an amphetamine
Like meth? We don't really have that in Brazil, just crack. Isn't ritaline an amphetamine though?

Well, i will just ask him after some time. How long should i wait though?
>>
>>8636400
>Like meth? We don't really have that in Brazil, just crack.

Meth is an amphetamine yes but I wouldn't go that far just for treating ADHD (though the brand Desoxyn used for severe cases really is just meth). Adderall (mixed amphetamine salts 75:25 dex:lev) is the gold standard for ADHD treatment but you could get by with regular amphetamine sulphate or freebase. Your doctor might even prescribe you Adderall if you ask nice and don't seem to be a junkie.

>Isn't ritaline an amphetamine though?
No. Ritalin and amphetamines work by completely different methods. Both increase the concentrations of dopamine, serotonin and noradrenalin in the brain but Ritalin (and cocaine) do so by inhibiting reuptake (recycling) of the chemicals while amphetamines cause more to be produced and released. The differences are subtle and the implications not fully understood.

>Could you enlighten me?
I already did. Schedule and structure your studies, take notes, make summaries, do exercises.

>Also how long till the brainfog goes away?
No idea. Depends on you. One hears 'three weeks' thrown about on stoner forums but I've never experienced it longer than one. That said deciding to quit smoking a week before a test was a stupid decision. I can't say whether restarting will help or harm you at this point.
>>
meth would be counterproductive in the long run, it is neurotoxic. why it gets prescribed for adhd, i do not know.
>>
>>8635130
I use methamphetamine, because it is extremely cheap and easy to obtain if you're friends with any chemistry students, but amphetamine seems to be the gold standard.
>>
>>8636455
It only gets prescribed in extreme cases. I think the number of legit Desoxyn prescriptions for ADHD is probably still in triple digits. It's also prescribed for obesity.

Careful though. You might accidentally over-exaggerate the importance of ONE of them, which would be a big no-no.

Sodium makes neurons (build brain muscle! make smart!)

Sugar makes connections between neurons (give brain energy to flex muscle! Do fun flex! Game! Raaar!)

Then simply learn with age/time. I was just giving you an artificially fast way to achieve your goal. Read more epistemology.

If you have a male brain though there is the problem of 'schizophrenia', which is a WRONG diagnosis because they call it a deviation from the norm. You can be 'schizo-effective', and that is what women actually go through during puberty.

All subsequent periods give their brains little cracks which heal. And as we all know, things broken heal stronger.

I use nicotine (spray, not cigarettes) as a last resort / afterburner when I need extra juice. Works well. Surprisingly not addictive.

Coffee routinely.

Take break when tired, even sleep. Sleep is the magic ingredient to learn hard stuff.

Modafinil just defers tiredness and doesn't make you smart. You pay when you go off it.

I live in the US. If you're not familiar with the state of Utah it's incredibly conservative and taking any kind of mental health medications is socially frowned upon in general and kind of a behind closed doors thing.

I grew up in a household where you only went to the doctor when you were sick as hell. Partially because we were poor and didn't have insurance most of my childhood but also because "get over it, pussy."

I began suspecting I had ADD or ADHD after meeting someone with sever ADHD and realizing we had a lot in common. Actually he pointed it out. Tried adderal for the first time and it made me very calm, relaxed, and able to think more clearly in general.

I secured a prescription recently with the help of my brother. He's a retired veteran with shit tons of health problems and his doctor prescribes him pretty much whatever he asks for. He sat with me for my first meeting with him and all I did was fill out a paper (meant for children) with a list of troubles you're afflicted with that you rate from 1-3 in severity.

He gave me a prescription which I filled that same day.

It doesn't make you smarter, but for me it makes it much easier to follow through on thoughts and call upon old information much quicker. I don't get lost midway through an idea or thought like i did before. It's very helpful in learning new things. I taught myself basic electronics and began repairing old stereo equipment using this knowledge in the span of a month. Even off adderall I can call upon this knowledge.

Downside is it fucks with your appetite and sleep cycle. You can go for 40+ hours on nothing but adderall and water, feeling no need to eat or rest, but it will fuck you right up. You have to force yourself to eat and sleep properly or else you will become a walking zombie. Forcing yourself to eat with no appetite is painfully difficult. Chewing food makes you nauseous. I've lost nearly 10lbs in 2 months.

>The best method to LEARN any form of knowledge is simply find any interrelation that you can think of (seriously, even music) and then 'tug' on that mental thread until you feel tired/lost. After that you can enjoy some sugar water (tea/soda) and just meditate/game/masturbate/do something your neurons already have a confident established pathway for. Stop smashing your eyes against words and paper. Your brain IS A COMPUTER. It does background processing shit. You'll be fine.

Depends on how many births there are.
I feel like I undergo a birth each time I learn something, a new world I enter thanks to information. It's a pleasant experience, getting greater with each time.
Life's beautiful yet I lack comprehension of it to truly appreciate it all. It's a great yet a painful trip.

One can suffer from the lack of pain or pleasure can he not?

The way I see it pain is what makes us feel alive after all, as for pleasure... well, it clouds our mind, gets us to live in the state of ecstasy, distracts our mind from many great things. But that's just my opinion, what is yours?

>>8638748
That's a yes.

Thank you, please do excuse me if I do not understand the thought you are trying to convey instantly, your method of stating things is much different from others' but also much more fascinating.
You say things with certainty, certainty is what I lack.
Tell me more, if you can.

>>8638771
No excuse necessary. You are identifying 'YOU'.

I can tell you much more, but you need to give me a place to start.

Does this help?

Love = (0)!>0

A good place to start would be for me to better understand your way of thinking.
Explain the symbolics, love equals...?

Don't mistake this as an attack, I'm genuinely curious.

i too am curious
0 is not greater than 0 is a truth
are you saying Love = Truth?

I had red bull cola before it was pulled off the shelf. It was so much better than a normal caffeine "buzz". I worked in a garden center at the time and was slinging cowshit around like it was nothing. I was told to slow down by a fellow employee and I was sweating a lot more than normal. Later, I found out it had coca leaf extract in it. I think pure coca leaf would be a cool alternative to caffeine as it had a similar if not longer duration. I have never done cocaine so I can't compare it with that. I don't insufflate(?) drugs.

How do you guys get modafinil? Only ''drug'' I've ever taken is caffeine and I wanna try small dosage of mod for those days when I need to study hard

Memory enhancers rather than anything speedy, you can take caffeine but if it's actual studying memory enhancers are the best.

i use ginkgo biloba and caffeine pills. go out and grab some ginkgo from your local wal mart or whatever, and take one and come back to me and try to tell me there's no difference in your focus. i've tried a simple double blind with my gf to see if it genuinely works, and the effect is unquestionable for me. just give it a shot.

Here in Brazil we don't have Adderall.
I asked for it and my Psychiatry, and he just said that it's not sold in Brazil. I was on 50mg of Vyvanse, that's a pro-drug of dextroamphetamine but isn't doing much for me, I think because it's a "long release" drug. I'm actually going to ask for a amphetamine, because if you look on the list/"schedule" of the psychotropic's drugs allowed in Brazil (aka. Lista A3 de substâncias liberadas pela Anvisa), you will find some "amphetamine's" there, so I have no idea why we don't have Adderall for example.

Should i start vaping? Does niccotine really improve focus and learning or is it just a meme?

>>8641775
Wtf is a pour over? You drink the coffee grinds?

>>8636283
Ritaline is very poorly understood and not a very good idea to take unless you desperately need it for a neurological issue, based on your other posts it seems like some bullshit is why you got proscribed it. At least that's what my sister told me after she got her degree in neuroscience and minor in chemistry. I personally would suggest Kratom, it's kinda like weed except without the mental fuzziness, like a rainy day outside but a nice warm fire blazing inside. My friend who has some severe ADHD is always asking me for some more because he says it really helps him focus.

Meditation and mental ordering helps a bunch. Ever heard of a memory palace? It's great for memorizing the polyatomic ions or equations and the like. It was the memorization technique used by the monks to memorize entire books word for word. Try and look it up. Look up zen, Buddhist and the like meditation techniques until you find one that jives with you.

Seriously though, get a tutor most colleges have learning centers where tutors are relatively cheap and helpful. Find a very focused study buddy and practice explaining concepts to each other until you get it.

its a fucking meme though

If you really need it just see if you have add and get adderall or something. I tried it before and got a tolerance to modafinil after having it once, and then it did nothing

doesn't work, I tried this. You wont be able to concentrate.

When I used to do coke I was only thinking of doing more coke, I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I tried doing coke when working out once and I just stopped and snorted for like 4-5 hours in half hour intervals.

Can vouch for this. Engage with the material until you feel very confused and lost and faintly irritated, then go do not-100% engaging stuff for a while. Books are a no, random youtube is a yes, etc. Eventually something will click and you'll come back. Slow, but easyish
>>
>>8635130
I like to listen to different songs whilst studying specific material. When studying a chapter on your notes, for example, only listen to the same song repeatedly. Remembering a proof/derivation? Just listen to the chorus or a catchy hook. Next chapter? New song.
Soon you will start to associate memories and knowledge with a certain song. Try listening to the song at some later point and see how much you can remember. You will be impressed.

Now, as for stimulants, use sugar-free energy drinks, or black coffee. Make sure you eat energetic snacks, and keep a FUCK TON OF WATER by your side at all times. Pee breaks are great for splitting up study sprees. Regular breaks are gud.
Only study for 4 hours max a day. Otherwise your brain will tire out and stop taking in information. Also, sleep right so that youre pupmed and ready to study at noon/afternoon.
