Nootropics, or “smart drugs”, are a rather amazing feat of science. They may not work miracles but they can give you an extra push in your day-to-day life to help you out such as giving you a little extra push when you work out or to get you through a long study session.
Today, though, we want to take a chance to look at nootropics that will help you stay energized and motivated throughout your day. Not every nootropic advertised on the market is one that works as well as its promised. So, to help you out, we have compiled the research for you and in this article will show you the best options you have when looking at nootropics for energy and motivation.
Rhodiola Rosea
The first option that we have on our list is actually a natural nootropic called rhodiola rosea. Being a natural option, rhodiola rosea has been in use for a lot longer than most of the nootropics that come to mind today. In fact, it was often used as a natural medication in Russian, Chinese, and even Scandinavian traditional medicine.
Of course, as it has made our list, rhodiola rosea can help to alleviate feelings of fatigue. However, it has also been proven to help alleviate stress and depression. This nootropic can also help to increase your cognitive enhancement. This means improving things such as your memory and, as is fitting for this article, your motivation.
The range of doses for rhodiola rosea is rather large. You can safely take as little as 50 mg a day or as large a dose as 680 mg a day. As with any other nootropic or medication, though, it is best to start with a small dose and work up to a dose that works for you.
Modafinil
Next up we have a nootropic that is a bit newer than rhodiola rosea in modafinil. Modafinil was developed to help with daytime sleepiness and narcolepsy. However, it has been proven to do so much more. Among these, there is the promise of more motivation as well as improved reaction time and enhanced mood.
When taking modafinil, it is mostly prescribed in doses of 100 mg to 200 mg. The dose is usually taken daily. If you are going to take modafinil, though, you need to remember to take it early in the day. If you don’t, you run the risk of ruining your night’s sleep.
It is important to note that in the United States and Canada, modafinil is a prescription only drug. If you are prescribed this nootropic, it is commonly under the names Provigil or Alertec.
Adrafinil
Adrafinil, like modafinil, is another synthetic nootropic. It was discovered in 1970 in France and has since then, it has been used to treat narcolepsy and other sleep disorders particularly those that cause daytime sleepiness.
Much like the other options we have looked at thus far, adrafinil’s use is focused on wakefulness and energy. However, it offers other cognitive benefits as well. These include increased learning capacity, faster recall, and it reduces stress. The real draw of adrafinil, though, is that it helps you to feel more awake without the negative effects of other stimulants such as jitteriness.
In France, adrafinil is heavily regulated but in the United States and Canada it is legal for anyone to use, making it a favorite among students in particular. The recommended dosage sits between 150 mg and 300 mg a day safely. As we noted before, though, it is best to start at the lower end of this dosing range and work up until you find the dose that works for you.
Noopept
Not only is noopept one of the most powerful nootropics available today, it also begins to work just minutes after you take it. To help you work harder, noopept not only gives you more energy but it will also help to improve your memory, processing, and even improves associations between the hemispheres in your brain.

Much stronger than the other nootropics we have looked at, the recommended dose of noopept only between 10 and 20 mg daily. Once again, due to its wakefulness effects, you are not meant to take this late in the day.
