I have been gathering some resources, if you're interested. It seems that choline is beneficial for memory without a doubt, but there are other variables that are a bit more tricky, like testosterone, which seems to be good (for lessening anxiety and depression and improving spatial reasoning and memory) except when turned into estrogen due to a variety of factors.
I take modafinil every now and then. Modafinil basically makes you alert with some mild stimulation, slightly above caffeine. It has some speedy effects like extreme focus and jaw clenching. Adderall is the poor man's modafinil IMO. Adderall withdrawals are just too much; not the kind of drug I'd like to be dependent on.
Another thing I do is high dose caffeine pills + beta blockers (atenolol). You get all the mental stimulation of caffeine without the jitters or high heart rate.
For (temporarily) increasing your IQ?
LSD is the only substance I've ever tried that can actually enlarge your metaphorical mental whiteboard. It makes sense since it induces synesthesia. Being on acid is like operating 30,000 feet above your normal mental processing.

First, this is a quick diagnosis method that can be useful, mainly to tell what neurotransmitters you might have a defficiency of, but also to understand yourself:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/12/161207124115.htm Human neural progenitors exposed to harmine, an alkaloid presented at the psychotropic plant decoction ayahuasca, led to a 70 percent increase in proliferation of these cells. The effect of generating new human neural cells involves the inhibition of DYRK1A, a gene that is over activated in patients with Down syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease. Thus harmine could have a potential neurogenesis role and possibly a therapeutic one over cognitive deficits.

Try Lion's Mane mushroom if you really want cognitive benefits.
>>11 Good link. >>12 Interesting attempt but I'd say it lacks rigour, especially when researching the substance he's going to try, he doesn't do the job thoroughly.
