THE COGNITIVE OVERCLOCK: STUDYING LIKE A GOD
This is the high level protocol for chemically engineering a state of maximum focus, memory retention, and stress immunity. It requires precise timing and understanding of the biological half life of each compound. This stack turns a standard 8 hour study session into a 14 hour high density data absorption window.
I. THE BASE STACK: FOCUS AND ENDURANCE
These are the foundational compounds that provide the raw power and mental energy needed for sustained work.

I. THE BASE STACK: FOCUS AND ENDURANCE
These are the foundational compounds that provide the raw power and mental energy needed for sustained work.
1. Adderall (Dextroamphetamine/Amphetamine): The Core Engine
- Biological Function: Increases synaptic dopamine and norepinephrine concentrations in the prefrontal cortex, leading to enhanced attention, executive function, and reduced fatigue. It provides the hyperfocus state.
- Dosage Range: 5mg to 30mg immediate release (IR). Start low.
- Timing: Taken 30 minutes before the session begins. Due to a half life of 10 to 13 hours, a single dose is often sufficient for a full day of study.
2. Bromantane: The Sustained Amplifier
- Biological Function: A synthetic adaptogen that enhances athletic and intellectual performance. It increases the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin, and also acts as an immunomodulator, reducing the physical stress response. This prevents the amphetamine crash.
- Dosage Range: 50mg to 150mg orally.
- Timing: Take simultaneously with the Adderall. The effects are more subtle but last longer, smoothing out the peaks and preventing neurochemical burnout.
II. THE NOOTROPIC EDGE: MEMORY AND GROWTH
These compounds target neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, ensuring the focus achieved by the base stack translates directly into long term memory retention.

1. Semax: The Peptide Firepower
- Biological Function: A synthetic heptapeptide (Met Glu His Phe Pro Gly Pro). It stimulates CNS receptors and enhances the levels of neurotrophic factors (like BDNF and NGF), leading to improved learning, memory consolidation, and nerve repair. It's often used to rapidly improve cognitive fatigue.
- Dosage Range: 300mcg to 600mcg intranasally (usually 2-3 drops per nostril).
- Timing: Administered once in the morning. Due to rapid systemic absorption, the cognitive clarity hits quickly.
2. Dihexa: The Synaptic Architect
- Biological Function: Considered a potent derivative of Angiotensin IV. It is highly effective at binding to the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor, which drastically increases synaptic formation and density. It's a compound used to literally grow new connections for faster learning.
- Dosage Range: 9mg to 12mg taken sublingually (under the tongue).
- Timing: Once daily. Sublingual administration provides fast, direct entry into the bloodstream.
III. THE PERFORMANCE MITIGATION: STRESS CONTROL
High dopamine stacks increase anxiety and peripheral side effects (heart rate, jitters). Propranolol is the essential tactical countermeasure.

1. Propranolol (Beta Blocker): The Calm Anchor
- Biological Function: A non selective beta adrenergic antagonist. It blocks the physical manifestations of anxiety and the sympathetic "fight or flight" response (sweating, rapid heart rate, shaking) without dulling the central focus provided by the Adderall. This is key for presentations or exams.
- Dosage Range: 10mg to 40mg orally.
- Timing: Take 60 minutes before the study session, or 90 minutes before any high stress event (like an exam). This buffers the peripheral stimulation of the amphetamines.
IV. THE TIMING PROTOCOL (HIGH DENSITY SESSION)
Executing the stack requires precise scheduling to leverage the half lives and avoid the crash.
Executing the stack requires precise scheduling to leverage the half lives and avoid the crash.
T 60 Minutes:
Protocol: Take Propranolol (10mg to 20mg). The beta blocking needs a head start to stabilize heart rate and anxiety before the stimulants hit.
T 0 Minutes (Start Session):
Protocol: Take Adderall (15mg IR) and Bromantane (100mg). Administer Semax (450mcg) intranasally. If using Dihexa, take Dihexa (10mg) sublingually now.
Effect: The Adderall provides the initial focus peak, which the Bromantane and Semax immediately begin to amplify and sustain.
T 6 Hours:
Protocol: Optional: A small, low dose stimulant top up (e.g., 5mg IR Adderall or strong coffee) if the session must push past 10 hours. Do not repeat the Semax or Dihexa.
Effect: This keeps the dopamine level elevated just enough to push through the final phase of the session before the natural comedown.
T 10 Hours:
Protocol: Stop all work. Ensure a large meal and begin hydration. If sleep is required soon, an amino acid blend (L Theanine and Magnesium) can aid transition. Never use sedatives like benzodiazepines for the comedown.
Final Conclusion: This is an engine rebuild. Treat the compounds as powerful tools requiring respect and precise scheduling. The goal is not just to stay awake, but to elevate every single aspect of your cognitive processing speed and memory retention. Execute the timing perfectly to secure the edge.
