Is it worth taking a nootropic to improve my grades in college?

Do they have more pros than cons or vice versa? Are they really worth it? If so, which one do you recommend?

No. As someone who used piracetam and vasopressin for years, you have to be careful about dosage, cycling, rest and nutrition along with hydration and exercise to make it work.
As a graduate student who TAs undergrad classes, I'd also recommend against it. You shouldn't be doing any drugs while in school to establish an adult performance baseline for yourself. No weed, no alcohol, no Ritalin, no nootropics. Maybe a coffee in the morning.

Yes. You need to get ahead in college to get ahead in life. Little bit of neural imbalance is a cheap price to pay for $200K starting.

I've had a lot of success with caffeine + l-theanine (200mg + 400mg), using it very sparingly for exams or finishing coursework. I find it gives a solid two to three hours of alert focus, before you basically crash so you have to time it well.

As >>11864887 said the real redpill is having a healthy lifestyle in general and not relying on drugs though. The best advice I can give you OP is to do regular cardio; I've been doing a lot of mountain biking recently which has made me realise just how unfit I was. My energy levels are so much higher now. Not eating fast food regularly for a while has helped a lot too

This.
As far as what I wrote about drugged out undergrads, I see so many students that rely on antidepressants and ADD drugs that it's hard to describe. They don't learn how to deal with their own bodies without a fix. It's no better than heroin and whiskey, in some ways it's worse.
